AUTOMATIC REACTOR TRIP
The following information was provided by the licensee via phone or email:
"At 1033 EST on December 4, 2024, with Unit 3 in mode 1 at 100% power, the reactor automatically tripped in response to a reactor protection system channel failure while planned maintenance was in progress on a redundant channel. The plant is currently in mode 3. Decay heat is being removed by steam dumps to atmosphere. Unit 4 is unaffected. An actuation of the auxiliary feedwater system occurred and started as designed. An actuation of the emergency core cooling system (ECCS) occurred and started as designed. This event is being reported pursuant to 10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(iv)(B), and 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A).
"The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified."
The following additional information was obtained from the licensee in accordance with Headquarters Operations Officers Report Guidance:
The ECCS actuation included safety injection, residual heat removal, and emergency containment cooling. The cause of the trip and the ECCS actuation are under investigation. There are no indications of primary to secondary leakage.

SECONDARY CONTAINMENT INOPERABLE
The following information was provided by the licensee via phone and email:
"At 1640 EST, on December 4, 2024, secondary containment was declared inoperable. This condition is being reported as an eight-hour, non-emergency notification per 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(v)(C), as an event or condition that could have prevented fulfillment of a safety function.
"Secondary containment was declared inoperable due to a small hole discovered in the service water piping within secondary containment. The effective safety function was restored at 1730 EST by installation of a temporary repair and secondary containment has been restored to operable.
"There was no impact on the health and safety of the public or plant personnel.
"The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified."
