POST OFFICE BOX 551 UTTLE ROCK. ARKANSAS 72203 (501) 371-4000 February 5, 1981 1R-0281-01 Director of Nuclear Reactor Regulation ATTN:

Subject:

Arkansas Nuclear One-Unit 1 Docket No. 50-313 License No. DPR-51 Anticipatory Reactor Trip System (ARTS)

(File:

1511.1, 1510)

Gentlemen:

Your letter of January 21, 1981 requested information concerning the subject system. Responses to your concerns are given below.

Concern:

1.

For evaluation of the action statement of Paragraph 3.5.1.7/3 (Page 42A of the proposed changes to the Tech Spec), the following infor-mation should be provided (See Standard Tech Spec Table 3.3-1) for each of the two ARTS.

(a) Total No. of channels (b) Channels to trip (c) Minimum channel OPERABLE (d) Applicable modes

Response

ANO-1 does not utilize Standard Technical Specifications.

Because the ARTS can be bypassed during power operation, as discussed in response to Item 2 below, the ARTS cannot be included in present Technical Specifi-cation Table 3.5.1-1.

The total number of channels and channels to trip are given in AP&L's letter dated August 8, 1980, which described the ARTS. Technical Specifications 3.5.1.7.1 and 3.5.1.7.2 specify appli-cability.

1 Concern:

2.

Paragraph 3.5.1.7 (Page 42A) has trip bypass up to 10% reactor power whereas August 8,1980 submittal calls for up to 20% reactor power bypass. Correction should be made.

Response

4 The August 8,1980 submittal calls for a bypass up to 20% reactor power.

Because the discussion centers on the reactor trip on loss of Main Feedwater, the letter should call for a bypass up to 10% reactor power, as given in proposed Technical Specification 3.5.1.7.1.

The bypass up to 20% reactor power is still correct for the reactor trip on turbine trip, as given in proposed Technical Specification 3.5.1.7.2.

Concerni 3.

Surveillance requirement Table 4.1-1, Item 36 and 42 (ARTS) should have functional test every month and calibration test on refueling outage (See ANO-1 letter, dated August 8,1980).

Response

Proposed changes to the Technical Specification have been made and submitted to NRC by AP&L's letter dated January 29, 1981.

Very truly yours,
