SUBJECT:
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE - NOTIFICATION OF NRC TRIENNIAL HEAT
SINK PERFORMANCE INSPECTION 05000313/2015003 AND
05000368/2015003 AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Browning:
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
staff will conduct a triennial heat sink performance inspection at Arkansas Nuclear One from
July 13-17, 2015. The inspection will consist of one reactor inspector from the NRCs Region IV
office for one week. The inspection will be conducted in accordance with the NRC Inspection
Procedure 71111.07, Heat Sink Performance.
Experience has shown that this inspection is resource intensive, both for the NRC inspectors
and your staff. In order to minimize the impact to your onsite resources and to ensure a
productive inspection, we have enclosed a request for documents needed for this inspection.
Please note that the documents are requested to be provided by July 13, 2015. We request
that during the onsite inspection week you ensure that copies of analyses, evaluations, or
documentation regarding the implementation and maintenance of your heat exchanger program
are available. Of specific interest are those documents that establish your heat exchanger
program satisfies the NRC regulatory requirements and conforms to applicable the NRC
guidance. Also, appropriate personnel knowledgeable of safety-related heat exchangers should
be available to support the inspector at the site during the inspection.
We have discussed the schedule for this inspection activity with your staff and understand that
our regulatory contact for this inspection will be Natalie Mosher of your licensing organization. If
there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the
inspector, Megan Williams, by telephone at 817-200-1076 or by e-mail at
megan.williams@nrc.gov.
This letter does not contain new or amended information collection requirements subject to the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Existing information collection
requirements were approved by the Office of Management and Budget, Control
Number 3150 0011. The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to

respond to, a request for information or an information collection requirement unless the
requesting document displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget control
number.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter and its
enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document
Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRCs 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).

Information Requested for the In-Office Preparation Week
The following information should be sent to the Region IV office via electronic format (Certrec
IMS preferred), to the attention of Megan Williams, by July 13, 2015. The inspector will select
specific items from the information requested below and then request from your staff additional
documents needed during the onsite inspection week. Also, we request that you categorize the
documents in your response with the numbered list below, and for Adobe portable document
files (.pdf) please make the text searchable. If requested documents are large and only hard
copy formats are available, please inform the inspector and provide subject documentation
during the first day of the onsite inspection. If you have any questions regarding this information
request, please call the lead inspector as soon as possible.
The following heat exchangers/heat sinks have been selected for inspection:
Alternate A/C diesel generator with air-cooled jacket water system and heat exchanger
Auxiliary feedwater pump with air-cooled oil cooler
Seal coolers for high pressure injection recirculating flow
For all Generic Letter 89-13 exchangers:
1.
List of corrective action program documents (with a short description) associated with
Generic Letter 89-13 heat exchangers, heat sinks, silting, corrosion, fouling, heat
exchanger cavitation, or heat exchanger testing, in the previous three years
2.
System health report(s) and maintenance rule system notebooks for all the Generic
Letter 89-13 heat exchangers
3.
Copy of any self-assessments done on any Generic Letter 89-13 heat exchangers in the
previous three years
4.
Copies of any procedures developed to implement the recommendations of Generic
Letter 89-13 (e.g., the Generic Letter 89-13 Heat Exchanger Program description)
5.
Copies of any commitments to the Generic Letter 89-13 program
- 2 -
For the specific heat exchangers selected:
Testing Documents
6.
Copies of the two most recently completed tests confirming thermal performance for
those heat exchangers which are performance-tested
7.
Instrument uncertainties of the instruments used during testing
8.
Copy of any operability determinations or other documentation of degradation
