UNITED STATES
NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
REGION IV
1600 E LAMAR BLVD
ARLINGTON, TX 76011-4511
August 31, 2016
Clay Warren, Acting Site Vice President
Arkansas Nuclear One
Entergy Operations, Inc.
1448 SR 333
Russellville, AR 72802-0967
SUBJECT: MID-CYCLE ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE,
UNITS 1 AND 2 (REPORT 05000313/2016005 AND 05000368/2016005)
Dear Mr. Warren:
On August 11, 2016, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed its mid-cycle
performance review of Arkansas Nuclear One (ANO), Units 1 and 2. The NRC reviewed the
most recent quarterly performance indicators (PIs) in addition to inspection results and
enforcement actions from July 1, 2015, through June 30, 2016. This letter informs you of the
NRCs assessment of your facility during this period and its plans for future inspections at your
facility.
The NRC determined the performance at ANO, Units 1 and 2 during the most recent quarter
remained within the Multiple/Repetitive Degraded Cornerstone Column of the NRCs Reactor
Oversight Process (ROP) Action Matrix. On March 4, 2015, ANO Units 1 and 2 transitioned to
the Multiple/Repetitive Degraded Cornerstone Column (Column 4) of the ROP Action Matrix as
a result of having one Yellow finding in each unit involving the failure to adequately approve the
design and to load test a temporary lift assembly, and one Yellow finding in each unit involving
the failure to design, construct, and maintain plant design features required to protect safety-
related equipment from the effects of flooding.
On June 9, 2016, the NRC completed a supplemental inspection and independent review of the
causes for declining safety performance at ANO, as well as corrective actions taken and
planned to sustain improvement efforts. The NRC inspection team determined that ANO,
Units 1 and 2 are being operated safely and Entergy Operations, Inc. (EOI) understands the
depth and breadth of performance concerns associated with ANOs performance decline. The
NRC team concluded that effective implementation of the licensees Comprehensive Recovery
Plan (CRP), supported by the allocation of adequate resources and continued enhanced
oversight by EOI leadership, should lead to substantial and sustained performance
improvement. The NRC team identified missed opportunities for ANO to have promptly initiated
performance improvements since being placed in Column 4. The NRC team also concluded
that your evaluations and corrective actions for three unplanned, Unit 2 scrams that contributed
to a White Unplanned Scrams per 7000 Critical Hours PI, were satisfactory. Based on the
C. Warren -2-
results of this inspection, the White PI was closed. The results of the inspection were
documented in NRC Inspection Report 05000313/2016007 and 05000368/2016007
(ML16161B279).
In a letter dated May 17, 2016, ANO Comprehensive Recovery Plan (ML16139A059), EOI
notified the NRC staff of its plan to perform specific actions to resolve the causes for declining
performance at ANO. On June 17, 2016, the NRC issued a Confirmatory Action Letter
(ML16169A193) which confirmed EOI commitments to take specific actions included in the
ANO Comprehensive Recovery Plan. The Confirmatory Action Letter groups these actions in
six categories:
- Significant performance deficiencies (i.e., actions to address the two Yellow findings)
- Identification, assessment and correction of performance deficiencies
- Equipment reliability and engineering programs
The NRC plans to conduct quarterly inspections to review your progress toward completing the
ANO Comprehensive Recovery Plan actions that are identified in the Confirmatory Action Letter.
The NRC will use Inspection Procedure 92702, Follow-up on Traditional Enforcement Actions
Including Violations, Deviations, Confirmatory Action Letters, Confirmatory Orders, and
Alternative Dispute Resolution Confirmatory Orders, to assess your effectiveness in completing
corrective actions. The results of these inspections will provide information for future
performance assessments of ANO in accordance with NRC Inspection Manual Chapter 0305,
Operating Reactor Assessment Program.
The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through June 30, 2018. Routine
inspections performed by resident inspectors are not included in the inspection plan. The
inspections listed during the second half of the inspection plan are tentative and may be revised
at the end-of-cycle performance review. The NRC provides the inspection plan to allow for the
resolution of any scheduling conflicts and personnel availability issues. The NRC will contact
you as soon as possible to discuss changes to the inspection plan should circumstances
warrant any changes. This inspection plan does not include security related inspections, which
will be sent via separate, non-publicly available correspondence.
In response to the accident at Fukushima, the Commission issued Order EA-12-049, Order
Modifying Licenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-
Basis External Events, and Order EA-12-051, Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to
Reliable Spent Fuel Pool Instrumentation. The NRC conducted audits of licensee efforts
towards compliance with these Orders, and the information gathered will aid staff in
development of the ultimate Safety Evaluation for the site. After the NRC staff receives the
Final Compliance letter for the site, the Safety Evaluation will be issued. Then, the NRC staff
will confirm through inspections the full implementation of the orders mentioned above by
performing Temporary Instruction 191, Inspection of the Implementation of Mitigation Strategies
and Spent Fuel Pool Instrumentation Orders and Emergency Preparedness
Communication/Staffing/Multi-Unit Dose Assessment Plans.
C. Warren -3-
In Staff Requirements Memorandum - SECY 16-0009, Recommendations Resulting from the
Integrated Prioritization and Re-Baselining of Agency Activities, the Commission approved the
NRC staff recommendation to discontinue the formal mid-cycle assessment process beginning
in calendar year 2017. This will be the final mid-cycle assessment letter. The staff will continue
to conduct quarterly assessment meetings and communicate changes in the assessment of
licensee performance in accordance with the guidance in Inspection Manual Chapter 0305,
Operating Reactor Assessment Program.
In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (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
NRCs Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is
accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public
Electronic Reading Room).
Please contact Mr. Neil OKeefe at 817-200-1574 with any questions you have regarding this
letter.
Sincerely,
