Attention: Mr. G. L. Madsen
Subject:
Arkansas Power 4 Light Company w..
Arkansas Nuclear One - Unit One Docket No. 50-313, License No. DPR-51 IE Inspection Report No. 50-313/76-06 a=~
Gentlemen:
The subject inspection identified one violation of the Arkansas Nuclear One-Unit One Technical Specification and one violation of Criteria XI and XVII of Appendix B to 10 CFR 50. As applicable, our response to each violation includes (1) corrective steps which have been taken, and results achieved; (2) corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further noncompliance; and (3) the date when full compliance will be achieved. The NRC position on the cited violations and corresponding APGL response are provided below:
1.
hRC Position Technical Specification 6.7.3 requires for procedures that, ' Temporary changes which may affect the intent of the original procedure may be made, c-provided such changes are approved by the Plant Superintendent."
+
Contrary to the above requirement, temporary changes were made to Proce-i dure 1502.03 on (or about) March 29, 1976 but the changes were not approved by the Plant Superintendent.
This is an infraction.
APSL Response Attachments "D" and "F" to Procedure 1502.03 (Preparation for Refueling) have -been revised to reflect as-built conditions of the fuel handling equip-ment.
Plant personnel have been admonished as to the requirements of
==
section 6.7.3 of ANO-1 Technical Specifications and section 8.2 of Quality Centrol Procedure 1004.21.
It.is our belief that we, at this time, are in compliance with section 6.7.3 of the Technical Specifications and QCP 1004.21.

-NRC Position'

Criteria-XIland' XVII of Appendix B to 10 CFR 50 require that test record Us [....
shall-be documented. This requirement is further amplified by Section a
- 11.4.2.of the Licensee's Quality Assurance Manual which requires that the
..==
^
test records shall include the test data.
==
Contrary to the above requirements, the licensee had been recording only 7..J the resultant boron concentration which was determined in the boron analy-
. E:1_
sis of vessel and spent fuel storage water samples.

M This' is a ~ deficiency.
-APSL Response p " **

Our laboratory practices and record keeping methods have been reviewed as
~~
^
a result of this violation, and the following conclusions were reached:
=g 1.
-Laboratory testing is done in strict accordance with written and approved procedures by qualified lab technicians whose training and experience is well documented.
=
2.
Laboratory technicians work under the. supervision of a well-i
_ qualified supervisor whose training and experience is well docu-mented.
3.
Data sheets indicating the final results of all laboratory test results are signed by the technician who performed the work and is reviewed.by and signed-by the laboratory supervisor in response
.to an earlier ~NRC inspection.
- 4.. Recording of, specific data to support a final result would not s
eliminate human judgment from laboratory work.
- 5. ' Standards delineating the specific data a well-qualified labora-
-tory should keep do not exist.
Our laboratory record keeping methods have been carefully reviewed on j
several previous occasions by our own review bodies as well'as NRC inspec-torsfand compared. with 10 CFR 50 Appendix B-and our Quality Assurance EManual requirements.and were judged to meet the requirements of these b
documents. Therefore, we are convinced that our laboratory record' keeping methods meet the. intent of all applicable regulations.
Very truly yours,-
