ARKANSAS POWER & LIGHT COMPANY POST OFFICE BOX 551 UTTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS 72203 (501) 371-4422 WILLIAM CAVANAUGH lil September 28, 1979 Vice President Generation & Construction 1-099-19 Director of Nuclear Reactor Regulation ATTN:

Mr. R. W. Reid, Chief Operating Reactor Branch #4 U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission n'ashington, D.C.

20555 Subj ect: Arkansas Nuclear One-Unit 1 Docket No. 50-313 License No. DPR-51 Reactor Cavity Annulus Seal Ring (File:

1510, 1160)

Centlemen:

The following is provided in response to your letter of July 19, 1979, concerning a potential for the reactor cavity annulus seal ring to become a missile hazzard in the event of a Reactor Coolant System pipe break inside the annulus cavity.

Arkansas Power and Light has previously committed to proposing the necessary action required to preclude the seal ring from becoming a potential missile no later than our fourth refueling shutdown (see APSL D. Rueter/V. Stello letter dated March 16, 1979). This shutdown is currently scheduled for the fall in 1980.

Since the March letter issuance the seal ring has been moved away from the annulus cavity area and, therefore, does not currently pose a missile hazzard.

Very truly yours, William Cas ugh, II WC:DCT:gp 1129 337 7910110 e
