Subject: TRUBINE TRIP AND REACTOR TRIP DUE TO HIGH LEVEL ON THE "C"      
         STEAM GENERATOR                                                 


Discussion:

On March 16, 1996, at 10:56 p.m. (CST), Unit 1 tripped shortly after     
being placed on-line at 10:15 p.m. due to erratic operation of the 1C    
feedwater regulating valve, 1LCV-FW520, causing the level to increase to 
its high steam generator water level setpoint of 70 percent which caused 
a turbine trip and subsequently a reactor trip.                          
                                                                         
The licensee plans to achieve criticality on March 18, 1996, at          
approximately 10:15 a.m., and synchronize to the grid at midnight. The   
resident inspectors will monitor startup activities.                     

Regional Action:

The resident staff and regional inspectors are continuing to followup the
licensee's investigation and assessment of equipment operability.
