Subject:

Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report for 2004 Arkansas Nuclear One - Units 1 and 2 Docket Nos. 50-313 and 50-368 License Nos. DPR-51 and NPF-6

Dear Sir or Madam:

Arkansas Nuclear One, Units 1 & 2 (ANO-1 and ANO-2) Technical Specifications (TSs) 5.6.:3 and 6.6.3, respectively, require the submittal of an Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report. 10CFR72.44(d)(3) also requires the annual submittal of a summary of effluents from the independent spent fuel storage facility. The purpose of this letter is to fulfill these reporting requirements for the 2004 calendar year at ANO. Liquid and gaseous release data show that the dose from both ANO-1 and ANO-2 was con;iderably below the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) limits, while no effluents were attributed to the spent fuel stored in the independent spent fuel storage installation. This data reveals that the radioactive effluents had an overall minimal dose contribution to the surrounding environment. Pursuant to ANO-1 TS 5.5.1 and ANO-2 TS 6.5.1, the ODCM is also submitted as an attachment to the Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report. Should you have any questions regarding this report, please contact Dee Hawkins at (479) 858-5589.

There are no new commitments contained in this submittal.

9. UNPLANNED RELEASES An unplanned release is defined as any release of radioactive material to the environment that does not meet the following criteria:

A. Sample analysis prior to release, and B. Release calculations performed prior to release.

During 2004, there were no unplanned releases to an unrestricted area.

10. RADIATION INSTRUMENTATION As required by ODCM Appendices 1 and 2, any radioactive effluent instrumentation inoperable for more than 30 days shall be reported in the annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report.

During 2004, there was no radioactive effluent instrumentation inoperable for longer than 30 days.

11. CHANGES TO THE PROCESS CONTROL PROGRAM As required by ODCM Appendices 1 and 2, a description of changes made to the Process Control Program (PCP) shall be included in the annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report for the period in which the change was made effective.

Revision 2 of the Process Control Program (ENS-RW-105) was implemented on October 1, 2004. The changes implemented under this revision were as follows:

Th- purpose of the Process Control Program (PCP) was modified and the site specific references were removed. A definition of "Batch" was added to the definition section of the procedure. Editorial changes were made in the responsibilities section to update the actual names of positions and the applicable discipline group. A major portion of the procedure was revised to adequately address the approval authority for each Entergy South site in reference to changes to the PCP along with vendor usage/approval. The vendor related requirements were also addressed in detail in Section 5.5. Section 8.0, "Commitments and Obligations",

was revised to include Grand Gulf Nuclear Station. The overall procedure format was changed to match the company's current revision for procedure formatting in NMMvl Procedure AD-I01, "Procedure Process". A copy of the PCP (Rev. #2) has been included behind Attachment 3.

There were no other changes made to the Process Control Program during 2004.
