ARKANSAS POWER & LIGHT COMPANY POST OFFICE BOX 551 UTTLE ROCK. ARKANSAS 72203 (501) 371-4000 January 26, 1979 1-019-14 2-019-17 Mr. G. L. Madsen, Chief Reactor Operations & Nuclear Support Branch U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Office of Inspection & Enforcement Region IV 611 Ryan Plaza Drive, Suite 1000 Arlington, Texas 76011

Subject:

Arkansas Nuclear One - Units 1 & 2 Docket No. 50-313 and 50-368 License No. DPR-51 and NFP-6 Inspection Report No. 50-313/78-21 and 50-368/78-28 (File: 0232,2-0232)

Gentlemen:

We have reviewed the subject inspection report and in response the fol-lowing is submitted:

A. Infraction - Unit One On March 17, 1978, Procedure 1304.30, Rev. 4, " Hydrogen Purge Analyzer and Flow Indication Instrument Surveillance", was per-formed. Data sheets within the Procedure were incorrect. The data sheets were corrected and a change to the Procedure was ini-tiated; however, the change to Procedure 1304.30 was not approved prior to implementation. A permanent change correcting the data sheets was subsequently approved on March 30, 1978.

All I&C Supervisors and Technicians have been verbally reinstructed in the proper method for obtaining changes to Procedures. A memo-randum identifying the reinstruction has been issued.

B. Deficiency 1 - Unit Two Or. November 8,1978, Job Order #4836-2 was performed to accomplish setpoint recommendations contained in Combustion Engineering letter A-C E- 7280. This was accomplished by performing portions of the 7903090 3 73

m Mr. G. L. Madsen, Chief January 26, 1979 Plant Protection System (PPS) Monthly Procedure; however, when the Job Order was turned in the completed portions of the procedure were not attached. Upon discovering that procedural attachments to Job Order #4836-2 were not retrievable, a check of PPS surveillances revealed that all monthly surveillances had been performed as re-quired since the setpoint change.

A memorandum has been issued reminding all I&C Supervisors and Tech-nicians of the proper method for setpoint changes and that attach-ments to Job Orders are required to be retained as an integral part of the Job Order.

C. Infraction 2 - Unit Two Plant Supervisors designated on the Master Test Control List have been made aware of this infraction and our commitment to maintain the test control charts in a current status.

We are in the process of evaluating our test control program. The result of our evaluation will determine the extent to which our test control program will be modified. We anticipate that our corrective action to this item will be identified by mid February,1979.

Per discussion between Louis Alexander - AP&L and Thomas Westerman -

NRC on January 2, AP&L will submit a supplemental response to this infraction on or before March 1,1979.

D. Infraction 3 - Unit Two The interval of functional testing for 2XR-8350 exceeded six months.

The first test was run on April 5,1978. The next test was due Octo-ber 5,1978. The latest date that it could have been run and not exceed specifications was November 20, 1978. Once discovered the Procedure was performed December 8,1978.

To help eliminate future problems a new I&C surveillance schedule for the Unit was established to double check scheduled surveillances.

It is anticipated that full compliance will be achieved upon comple-tion of Item (C) above.

Sincerely, N.1 Daniel H. Williams Manager, Licensing DHW: CSP:ce
