SUBJECT:

Arkansas Nuclear One - Units 1 and 2 I Docket Nos, 50-313/50-368 License Nos. DPR-51 and NPF-6 T-95 Tape Splice Configuration for Limitorque Dual Voltage Motor Operators Inspection Report 50-313/89-37; 50-368/89-37

Dear Mr. Collins:

This letter provides the requested response to the subject inspection report '

and an update to previous discussions between your staff and Arkansas Power and? tight Company (AP&L) management on December 19, 1989, regarding Okonite T-95 and Scotch 33 tape utilized in splicing electrical . leads on Limitorque dua_1'voltageLmotor operators.

Currently, startup_ operations activities-are on hold until identified Okonite T-95 and Scotch 33 splicing configurations on environmentally qualified Limitorque dual voltage motor operators in high. energy line break areas can ,

be reworked. In a phone call on December 19, 1989, the NRC staff stated that an acceptable splicing configuration would be the application of Okonite T-95 and Okonite 35 tape if properly applied consistent with the Okonite NQRN-3 qualification report. AP&L currently considers its previous qualification documentation to'be technically acceptable. However, the Scotch 33 tape will be removed and Okonite 35 applied to satisfy your staff

. questions. AP&L requests a formal reply regarding the verbal acceptance of Okonite T-95 and 35 tape cor. figuration as discussed on December 19, 1989.

The subject inspection report,- received on December 4,1989, requested a response if stated commitments differed from our understanding of these

+

commitments, No difficulties were noted with the commitments as stated, and the commitment to notify the NRC concerning actions to be taken regarding the taped splices is satisfied by this letter. However, clarification is needed concerning AP&L's reevaluation of the ANO 10CFR Part 21 program. ,
