Reportable Occurrence Report No. 50-368/78-22

10. Corrective Action:

With the NRC ruling that the CEA was inoperabic, the plant should have confomed with the requirements of action statement T.S. 3.1.3.1.c, which would not allow the mode change from 3 to 2.

11. Failure Data:

'Ihis incident did not endanger the health and safety of the public since the CEA was trippable and is considered an isolated occurrence.
