Reply to comment by [deleted] in Takahama nuclear reactor in Japan's Fukui halted after alert goes off by Saltedline

alert worked, it alerted the right people of an out-of-the-norm situation

the automatic shutdown worked, it shut itself down automatically

the alert is not periodical per se, but since it did happen and I can't comment on what happened and why I'll just be happy the alert system worked properly

That’s not how it works. There’s a myriad of reasons an emergency scram can occur. An operator error in startup of auxiliary equipment can cause it. Stick with what you know.
