SUBJECT:
INSPECTION REPORT 50-313/93-26; 50-368/93-26 This letter is to advise you that a special inspection which is entitled Fuel Integrity and Reactor Subcriticality (FIRS) has been scheduled for the Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 1, facility during this upcoming refueling outage.
Our preliminary intentions for this FIRS inspection were discussed with Messrs. Rick King and later Mike Cooper on May 11, 1993.
During this inspection, we will review the course of activities associated with initial fuel receipt through spent fuel discharge.
Specifically, we will review fuel handling, core performance and design control, staffing, training, post-irradiation examinations, and conduct of refueling operations.
Also, at this time we will perform inservice inspections.
We plan to conduct the inspection over the 3-week period of September 7-24, 1993.
The inspection effort for each of the 3 weeks will be performed by two to four inspectors who will be occasionally accompanied by a Region IV supervisor.
Several of the inspectors will require site badging updates, and all will require access to radiological controlled areas.
We request that your staff conduct an informal presentation during the first week of the inspection on the ANO-1 core performance and core design evolution.
Also, attached to this letter is a list of documents that will need to be available during the FIRS inspection.
Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, please contact Dr.
Dale Powers at (817) 860-8195.
Sincerely, 8%
& Samuel J. Collins, Director Division of Reactor Safety
