RESPONSE TO NOTIFICATION OF READINESS FOR SUPPLEMENTAL INSPECTION PROCEDURE 95003

Dear Mr. Browning:

The purpose of this letter is to inform you of the Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRC) current plans for conducting the applicable supplemental inspections required by the NRCs Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) and to respond to your inspection readiness letter dated January 15, 2016 (ADAMS ML16019A047).

By letter dated March 4, 2015 (ADAMS ML15063A499), the NRC notified you that Units 1 and 2 at Arkansas Nuclear One had been placed in the Multiple/Repetitive Degraded Cornerstone (Column 4) of the NRC Action Matrix for two Yellow findings on each unit. In that letter, the NRC notified you of our intent to conduct a supplemental inspection in accordance with Inspection Procedure (IP) 95003, Supplemental Inspection for Repetitive Degraded Cornerstones, Multiple Degraded Cornerstones, Multiple Yellow Inputs or One Red Input, once we receive written notification of your readiness for the inspection.

The NRC will conduct a supplemental inspection in accordance with IP 95002, Supplemental Inspection for One Degraded Cornerstone or Any Three White Inputs in a Strategic Performance Area, on each unit for each of the Yellow findings.

In addition, based on the performance indicator data for unplanned scrams for Unit 2 transitioning to White for the second and third quarters of 2014, the NRC will also conduct a supplemental inspection in accordance with IP 95001, Supplemental Inspection for One or Two White Inputs in a Strategic Performance Area.

These supplemental inspections will be performed onsite from January 25, 2016, through February 5, 2016, and February 22 through 26, 2016.

In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding, a copy of this letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRCs Public UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION IV 1600 E. LAMAR BLVD.
