SUBJECT:

REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, CHANGE IN ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS SECTION OF THE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS - ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE, UNITS 1 AND 2 (TAC NOS. MA4368 AND MA4382)

Dear Mr. Hutchinson:

During the review of your request for amendments to the administrative sections of the

- Technical Specifications (TSs) for Arkansas Nuclear One, Units 1 and 2 (ANO) dated November 24,1998, we found that most of the requested changes lacked adequate justification to support a safety finding.

The requested changes to the TSs are intended to incorporate changes that have been discussed in a generic context with either Entergy Operations or the industry in general. For example, the proposed changes are generally consistent with the consolidated Entergy Operations Quality Assurance Plan, which was approved by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in November 1998, or new Standard TSs or Generic Letters. While the changes are consistent with those previously proposed and approved for other licensees, a discussion of the bases for why the changes are appropriate for use at ANO is needed in order for us to process your requests. Specifically, for each proposed change, please provide a discussion of its applicability to ANO. Also, for changes that are different from what has been previously considered (e.g., your proposed TS 6.1.2), provide the basis supporting the variation from the version previously considered as well as the basis supporting the applicability of the change to ANO.

- The need to provide complete Justification to support the requested changes and the agreement of the ANO staff to provide it was discussed with members of your staff during a telephone call on January 28,1999. Based on that telephone call, our understanding is that the information can be supplied within a few weeks. Our receipt of your response to our Request for Additional Information (RAl) within 30 days will be satisfactory. We are documenting the discussion and O
