SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-313/98-02; 50-368/98-02 AND NOTICE OF

VIOLATION

Dear Mr. Hutchinson:

From January 4 through February 14,1998, a routine resident inspection was conducted at your

Arkansas Nuclear One, Units 1 and 2, reactor facility. The enclosed report presents the scope

and results of that inspection.

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

facility was generally characterized by safety-conscious operations, sound engineering and

maintenance practices, and appropriate radiological controls. One violation of NRC

requirements was identified. The violation resulted from the failure of Unit 1 instrumentation and

control technicians to remove three electricaljumpers prior to restoring a reactor protection

system channel to service following surveillance testing.

The violation is cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice) and the circumstances

surrounding this violation are described in detail in the enclosed report. Please note that you are

required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions specified in the enclosed

Notice when preparing your response. The NRC will use your response, in part, to determine

j

whether further enforcement action is necessary to ensure compliance with regulatory

requirements. In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of this

c[

letter, its enclosure (s), and your response 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,

i1
