SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-313/93-09; 50-368/93-09 (NOTICE OF
VIOLATION)
This refers to the inspection conducted by L. Smith, and other inspectors of
-
this office, on October 3 through November 13, 1993. The inspection included
a review of activities authorized for your Arkansas Nuclear One, Units I and
2, facility. At the conclusion of the inspection, the findings were discussed
with you and those members of your staff identified in the enclosed report..
Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report. Within
these areas, the inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures
and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observation of
activities in progress. The purpose of the inspection was to determine
whether activities authorized by the license were conducted safely and in
.;
accordance with NRC requirements.
Based on the results of this inspection, certain licensed activities appeared ~
to be in violation of NRC requirements, as specified in the. enclosed Notice of
Violation (Notice).
The first' violation is of concern because a speed switch
was not replaced on an emergency diesel generator at the end of its apparent
recommended life.
The second violation involved the failure to maintain
postaccident sampling system valves in the position required by the procedure.
1
This violation is of concern because it indicates a lack of control of plant
equipment status.
Two violations, discussed in Sections 2.1.2 and 3.6 of the enclosed report,
!
are not being cited because the criteria in Paragraph VII.B of Appendix C to
'
10 CFR Part 2 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice" were satisfied.
Your staff
took prompt and effective actions to correct these violations.
It is our
- i
'
understanding that, during the exit on November 18, a member of your staff
committed to certain corrective actions. These actions are listed in
Sections 2.1.2 and 3.6 of the enclosed report.
If your understanding of these
commitments differs from ours, please contact us immediately.
