"At 1734 CDT on August 5, 2014, LaSalle Unit 2 automatically scrammed due to an RPS actuation. The MSIVs isolated on a Group 1 signal, the cause is under investigation. The reactor water cleanup system isolated during the transient. The plant is stable with Reactor Pressure Control being maintained by the Reactor Core Isolation Cooling System and SRVs and level being controlled by the Low Pressure Core Spray System. The plant is planned to remain in hot shutdown pending investigation of the trip."
The Unit 2 electric plant is in a normal shutdown lineup. All control rods inserted fully on the scram. Unit 1 was not affected by the Unit 2 transient.
The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.
