		Steam Generator Feedwater Pumps (FW-P-1A and FW-P-1B) were in 

		service, Condensate Booster Pumps (CO-P-2A, CO-P-2B and CO-P-2C) 

		were in service, and Condensate Pumps (CO-P-1A and CO-P-1B) 

		were in service.  An attempt was being made to clear a clogged 

		resin transfer line in the standby demineralizer. 

-00:00:01 	Condensate Pump A (CO-P-1A) stopped.  
(0400:36) 

-00:00:01 	Feedwater Pumps (FW-P-1A and FW-P-1B) stopped at essentially the 
(0400:36)   
		same time resulting in a loss of feedwater flow to both steam 

		generators.  


00:00:00 	Main Generator was tripped followed by a turbine trip. 
(0400:37)   
     

00:00:00  	Three Emergency Feedwater Pumps (EF-P-1, 2A, 2B) started.
(0400:37)


00:00:03	The Electromatic Relief Valve (RC-RV2) opened at the setpoint 
(0400:40) 
Approximate 	of 2255 psig. 


00:00:08 	Reactor tripped on high pressure at 2345 psi. Setpoint is 2355 psi. 
(0400:45)  


00:00:08  	The operator placed the Pressurized Spray Valve (RC-V1) and pres- 
(0400:45)  
Approximate 	surizer heaters under automatic control. 



00:00:13 	The operator started the Reactor Coolant Makeup Pump A (MU-P-1A),

		opened High Pressure Injection Isolation Valve A (MU-V16A) and  

		isolated letdown flow in anticipation of the expected pressurizer  

		level decrease.
