Event Text
AUTOMATIC REACTOR SCRAM FOLLOWING TRIP OF BOTH REACTOR RECIRCULATION PUMPS
"On September 28, 2015 at 2046 EDT, the Hope Creek reactor scrammed following a trip of both reactor recirculation pumps.
"All control rods fully inserted into the core. All safety systems responded as designed and expected. There was no radiological release. The unit is stable in Mode 3 with decay heat being removed via the turbine bypass valves rejecting steam to the main condenser. Normal feedwater level control is providing makeup to the reactor vessel.
"No personnel injuries resulted from the event.
"The Outage Control Center has been staffed to determine the cause of the reactor scram.
"The Hope Creek NRC Resident Inspector has been notified."
The licensee notified Lower Alloways Creek township of the event.
