Gentlemen:

i

-

This refers to the inspection conducted by Messrs. C. C. Warren and R. C. Haag

j

of this office during the period January 1-31, 1990, of activities authorized

by NRC Operating Licenses DPR-51 and NPF-6 for Arkansas Nuclear One, Units 1

'

and 2, and to the discussion of our findings with Mr. N. S..Carns and other

-!

members of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection.

Areas examined during the inspection included followup of events, operational

,

safety verification, surveillence, maintenance and in-office review of licensee

reports. . This report does not include specific inspection followup for any

-

Diagnostic Evaluation Team findings (reference Diagnostic Evaluation Team

Report issued December 21,1989). Within these areas, the inspection consisted

of selective examination of procedures and representative records, interviews-

.

with personnel, and observations by the inspectors. The findings are documented

i

in the enclosed inspection report.

In addition, it was found that while certain other activities were in violation

,

of NRC requirements, as discussed in Section 4.4 of this report, you had

identified the problems and were taking appropriate corrective actions within a

reasonable period of time. Because the NRC wants to encourage and support

j

licensee. initiative for self-identification and correction of problems, a

Notice of Violation will not be issued on this item.- This action is being

,

taken in accordance with Appendix C, paragraph V.G.1, of the NRC's Rules of

l

Practice," Part 2. Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations.

l

An unresolved item is identified in Section 4.1 of this report regarding the

adequacy of licensee administrative controls for operator use of uncontrolled

l

information and deviation from procedures,

We have also examined actions you have taken with regard to previously

identified inspection findings. The status of these items is identified in

j

Section 3.0 of the enclosed report.
