April 22, 1980 Docket No. 50-313 t

Mr. William Cavanaugh, III Vice President, Generation and Construction Arkansas Power & Light Company P. O. Box 551 Little Rock, Arkansas 72203 Deaf Mr. Cavanaugh:

The Comission has issued the enclosed Confirmatory Order for Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit No.1 (AND-1). This Order confirms your comitments, as stated in your letters dated March 24, 27, and April 18, 1980, to implement certain actions within 90 days of the date of this Order.

This Order is required as a result of the experience gained from the Crystal River, Unit No. 3 incident of February 26, 1980, wherein a non-nuclear instru-mentation power loss resulted in a series of unexpected events.

Your staff and the NRC mutually agreed on the actions providea in the Order.

These actions should reduce the probability of a similar future power loss causing unexpected plant responses and allow the plant operator to better cope with losses of instru-mentation and control functions.

Further actions may be necessary.

A copy of this Order is being filed with the Office of the Federal Register for publication.

S ' ncerely,
