Subject: UPDATE - UNIT 2 INADVERTENT SAFETY INJECTION AND REACTOR TRIP

Discussion:

The licensee's troubleshooting activities and corrective actions in
response to the inadvertent safety injection and reactor trip on
January 18, 2000, have been completed and Unit 2 achieved criticality on
January 20, 2000, at 4:04 a.m. (EST).

The licensee's event investigation determined that the technicians that
were working on vital inverter 2-IV modification wiring, caused a
momentary loss of power to the inverter (alternate power supply had been
previously de-energized) which generated a signal to close the main
feedwater regulating valve to steam generator number 4 (S/G NO.4). The
subsequent rapid decrease in S/G NO.4 water level generated a low-low
steam generator level trip signal (2/3 logic) and an automatic reactor
trip. The licensee also determined that the inadvertent ESF actuation
(train "A" SI signal) that occurred following the reactor trip was due to
a low steamline pressure (S/G NO.4) signal to the reactor protection
system (RPS) channels II and IV. The RPS channel IV signal was caused by
the loss of power to vital inverter 2-IV and the RPS channel II signal
was due to a malfunctioning steam generator pressure transmitter.

Reactor power level is currently at 75 percent and the unit is proceeding
to full power operations.
