SUBJECT:
ANNUAL ASSESSMENT - ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE (REPORT 05000313/2004001; 05000368/2004001)
Dear Mr. Forbes:
On February 5, 2004, the NRC staff completed its end-of-cycle plant performance assessment of Arkansas Nuclear One. The end-of-cycle review for Arkansas Nuclear One involved the participation of all technical divisions in evaluating performance indicators for the most recent quarter and inspection results for the period from January 1 through December 31, 2003. The purpose of this letter is to inform you of our assessment of your safety performance during this period and our plans for future inspections at your facility so that you have the opportunity to prepare for these inspections and to inform us of any planned inspections that may conflict with your plant activities.
Overall, Arkansas Nuclear One operated in a manner that preserved public health and safety and fully met all cornerstone objectives. Plant performance for the most recent quarter, as well as for the first three quarters of the assessment cycle, was within the Licensee Response Column of the NRCs Action Matrix, based on all inspection findings being classified as having very low safety significance (Green) and all performance indicators indicating performance at a level requiring no additional NRC oversight (Green).
Additionally, the staff has identified a substantive crosscutting issue in the area of problem identification and resolution. This substantive crosscutting issue has been identified based on a number of corrective action findings. Throughout the period, inspectors identified several Green findings which had crosscutting aspects of problem identification and resolution. These findings were indicative of implementation problems within the specific areas of identifying problems and entering them in the corrective action program (CAP), prioritizing and evaluating conditions in the CAP, and implementing effective corrective actions. These problems were identified across cornerstones and with multiple groups of plant personnel. At your request, a public meeting was held in the Region IV office on February 12, 2004, to discuss your actions to address the causes and corrective actions you have taken or planned in response to the CAP programmatic and implementation problems. The NRC will monitor your efforts to address this substantive crosscutting issue during our implementation of the baseline inspection program.
Entergy Operations, Inc.
-2-As you are aware, the NRC has issued several Orders and threat advisories to enhance security capabilities and improve guard force readiness since the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. We have conducted inspections to review your implementation of these requirements and have monitored your actions in response to changing threat conditions. For calendar year 2004, we plan to continue inspections of Order implementation combined with newly developed portions of the security baseline inspection program. The enclosed inspection plan details the inspections scheduled through September 30, 2005. In addition to the baseline inspections, NRC will also be conducting inspections related to Inspection Procedure 71002,
"License Renewal Inspection," and Temporary Instructions 2515/152, "Reactor Pressure Vessel Lower Head Penetration Nozzles"; 2515/153, Reactor Containment Sump Blockage (NRC Bulletin 2003-01); and 2515/154, Spent Fuel Material Control and Accounting at Nuclear Power Plants. The inspection plan is provided to minimize the resource impact on your staff and to allow for scheduling conflicts and personnel availability to be resolved in advance of inspector arrival onsite. Routine resident inspections are not listed due to their ongoing and continuous nature. The inspections in the last 12 months of the inspection plan are tentative and may be revised at the midcycle review meeting.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
If circumstances arise which cause us to change this inspection plan, we will contact you to discuss the change as soon as possible. Please contact me at 817/860-8166 with any questions you may have regarding this letter or the inspection plan.
Sincerely,
/RA/ by P. H. Harrell Acting for Jeffrey A. Clark, Acting Chief Project Branch D Division of Reactor Projects Dockets: 50-313 50-368 Licenses: DPR-51 NPF-6 Enclosure:
