SUBJECT:

ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE - NRC SECURITY INSPECTION REPORT 05000313/2011403, 05000368/2011403

Dear Mr. Schwarz:

On April 14, 2011, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a security baseline inspection at your Arkansas Nuclear One, Units 1 and 2. The inspection covered one or more of the key attributes of the security cornerstone of the NRC's Reactor Oversight Process. The enclosed inspection report documents the inspection results, which were discussed on April 14, 2011, with Mr. M. Chisum, General Manager, Plant Operations, and other members of your staff.

The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to security and compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license.

The inspector reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel.

Based on the results of this inspection, no findings were identified. However, four examples of one licensee-identified violation, which was determined to be of very low security significance, is listed in this report. Because of the very low security significance and because this violation was entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating this violation as a noncited violation (NCV) consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the NRC Enforcement Policy. If you contest this noncited violation, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN.: Document Control Desk, Washington D.C. 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region IV; the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the and the NRC Senior Resident Inspector at Arkansas Nuclear One. Entergy Operations, Inc. -2-In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of the NRCs document system, ADAMS.

ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room). However, because of the security-related concerns contained in the enclosure, and in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390, a copy of this letters enclosure will not be available for public inspection.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390(b)(1)(ii), the NRC is waiving the affidavit requirements for your response, if any. This practice will ensure that your response will not be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the NRCs document system, ADAMS. If Safeguards Information is necessary to provide an acceptable response, please provide the level of protection described in 10 CFR 73.21. Otherwise, mark your entire response Security-Related Information-Withhold Under 10 CFR 2.390. and follow the instructions for withholding in 10 CFR 2.390(b)(1).

Sincerely,

/RA/
