Mr. T. Gene Campbell Vice President Nuclear Operations Arkansas Pcwer and Light Company P. O. Box 551 Little Rock, Arkansas 72203

Dear Mr. Campbell:

SUBJECT:

RESPONSE TO GENERIC LETTER 88-05 (TAC NOS. 68900 AND 68901)

On Maren 17, 1988, the NRC staff issued Generic letter 88-05, "Boric Acid Corrosion of Carbon Steel Reactor Boundary Components in PWR Plants." In this '

i letter we requested that you provide assurances that a program has been imple-mented at your plants that addresses the corrosive effects of reactor coolant system leakage at less than technical specification limits. The generic letter identified four considerations which your program should include.

In a letter dated May 27, 1988, you responded to Generic letter 88-05, describing your commitment to a boric acid leakage monitoring and preventive program at your plant. We find that you have provided assurance that a program is in '

place dealing with boric acid leakage that potentially could affect the integrity  ;

of the reactor coolant pressure boundary. This fulfills your requirement in responding to Generic Letter 88-05.

As discussed in Generic Letter 88-05, you should maintain, in auditable fonn, records of the program and results obtained from implementation of the program.

These records may be subject to future auditing.

t This ccepletes our effort under TAC NOS. 68900 and 68901.
