SUBJECT: ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE - NOTIFICATION OF AN NRC TRIENNIAL FIRE
PROTECTION BASELINE AND SUPPLEMENTAL INSPECTION 05000313;
Dear Mr. Forbes:
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC),
Region IV staff, will conduct a triennial fire protection baseline inspection at your Arkansas
Nuclear One Plant in September and October of 2004. The inspection team will be comprised
of a team of reactor inspectors from the NRC Region IV office and a contractor. The inspection
will be conducted in accordance with Inspection Procedure 71111.05, "Fire Protection," the
NRCs baseline fire protection inspection procedure. In addition, in conjunction with the fire
protection triennial, we will conduct a supplemental inspection in accordance with Inspection
Procedure 95001, Inspection for One or Two White Inputs in a Strategic Performance Area.
This supplemental inspection is being performed as a result of a finding that was determined to
have a low to moderate increased risk significance, as described in our letter to you dated
May 20, 2004.
.
The schedule for the inspection is as follows:
- Information gathering visit - September 14 - 16, 2004
- Onsite inspection - September 27 - October 1, 2004 and October 25 - 29, 2004
Members of the inspection team will visit the Arkansas Nuclear One Plant from September 14
to 16, 2004, to gather information and documents needed to support the inspection, obtain
unescorted access, and to become familiar with your fire protection program. The enclosure to
this letter provides a list of the types of documents the team will want to review. After review
the team leader will request that you transmit copies of some of the documents to the NRC,
Region IV office for team use in preparation for the inspection. We would appreciate it if you
could send this information so that it will arrive in our office in Arlington, Texas, no later than
noon on September 20, 2004.

We request that during the onsite inspection week, you ensure that copies of analyses,
evaluations, or documentation regarding the implementation and maintenance of the fire
protection program, including post-fire safe shutdown capability, be readily accessible to the
team for their review. Of specific interest are those documents that establish that your fire
protection program satisfies NRC regulatory requirements and conforms to applicable NRC
and industry fire protection guidance. Also, appropriate personnel knowledgeable of: (1) those
plant systems required to achieve and maintain safe shutdown conditions from inside and
outside the control room, (2) the electrical aspects of the post-fire safe shutdown analyses,
(3) reactor plant fire protection systems, and (4) the fire protection program and its
implementation should be available to support the team at the site during the inspection.
Your cooperation and support during this inspection will be appreciated. If you have questions
concerning this inspection or the inspection teams information or logistical needs, please
contact Rebecca L. Nease at 817-860-8154.
Sincerely,
//RA//
