Discussion:

At 12:26 a.m. (CDT) on August 22, 1997, the River Bend Station reactor   
automatically scrammed from a turbine trip.  All equipment responded as  
expected with no complications.  The reactor is currently stable in      
Mode 3.  The Senior Resident Inspector was contacted by the licensee and 
subsequently responded to the site.  The licensee plans to remain in     
Mode 3 until all maintenance and surveillance activities required for the
mode change are completed.  These activities are currently expected to be
done within 2 days.                                                      

Regional Action:

The Senior Resident Inspector will continue to follow the licensee's     
actions.
