SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-313/99-01; 50-368/99-01

Dear Mr. Hutchinson:

This r',lers to the inspection conducted on January 17 through February 27,1999, at the

M,ansas Nuclear One, Units 1 and 2, facility. The enclosed report presents the results of this

inspection.

During the 6-week period covered by this inspection, your conduct of activities at the Arkansas

Nuclear One facility was generally characterized by safety-conscious operations, sound

engineering and maintenance practices, and appropriate radiological controls. One notable

exception was the unplanned lowering of water level in the Unit 2 reactor coolant system and

resultant inadvertent entry into a reduced water inventory condition that occurred on February 2.

A specialinspection was performed on February 2-17 to follow up on this event. The results of

this special inspection are documented in NRC Inspection Report 50-313/99-03; 50-368/99-03.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its

enclosure will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR).

Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, we will be pleased to discuss them

with you.

Sincerely,

l
