Aircraft
After landing; then turning onto Taxiway Delta; we started seeing snow blowing over the windshield. The Ground Controller asked if we had an engine problem because he saw all the snow being blown around. I looked inside and saw the amber REV UNLOCKED light on engine #1 illuminated. I cycled the reverser lever twice which resulted in the green REVERSER light illuminated; so I decided to shut down the engine. The QRH applied only to an inflight situation. We taxied to gate and shut down #2 after ground power was applied to the aircraft. I wrote it up in the AML & spoke with Maintenance. Inadvertent/uncommanded deployment of #1 thrust reverser on taxi in. (Both reversers showed stowed on landing at 60 KIAS)
A300 Captain reports the left thrust reverser failing to stow after landing. This failure is not immediately detected by the Crew but it is brought to their attention by the Ground Controller.
