SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION AT ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE, UNITS 1 AND 2
INSPECTION REPORT N0.
50-313/87-23,50-368/87-23
,
This referr, to the special inspection conducted by Messrs. R. Correia,
' . Boardman, R. !iagg, W. Johnson, H. Walker, and Ms. P. Maclean of this
at 7ce on August 10 through 21, 1987, of activities authorized by NRC License
)
It also refers to the discussion of our findings with
Messrs. S. Quennoz and W. Cottle and other members of your staff at the
conclusion of the inspection.
J
l
The inspection focused on the effectiveness.of your quality verification
)
organizations to identify, solve, and prevent safety-significant technical
i
deficiencies in plant systems and operations. 'The inspection also measured
the effectiveness of line management in ensuring that identified quality
J
deficiencies are responded to promptly and completely. -Quality: verification
organizations and line management have responsibility for ensuring that -
quality is achieved and that significant technical problems are identified
and resolved. The existence of significant problems reflect on their
performance and commitments.
..
Our review indicates that the AP&L Nuclear Quality organization'has'been
effective in their performance of quality verification' activities in the
operations and plant modifications areas.
The staff involved in-these areas
are experienced individuals who are capable of conducting in-depth technical
verification activities. The audits, surveillance, and observations-
,
'
conducted in these areas are performance-oriented and have result-d in the
identification of significant issues which impact plant safety. k'e noted,
however, that the frequency of observations made in the ANO observation
program has decreased since the program started. We encourage you to make'
more observations, especially during back shifts and in.the control room.
Our review also indicates that the Plant Safety Committee reviews all
significant reports of abnonnal: t.onditions and. requires, as warranted,
further evaluations to determine root cause,~ corrective actions to preclude
recurrence, and deportability to the NRC. The. inspectors determined in-
several instances, notably in the maintenance area, that these evaluations.
'
are not as thorough as expected and often require lengthy periods.of time to

be performed. We are concerned that these lengthy. evaluations could lead to
l
deficiencies continuing to exist for longer than necessary and delays in -
l
meeting the reporting requirements of 10 CFR 50.73.
'
We encourage you to seek improvement in those areas of concern identified in
the enclosed report and to promote the involvement of all plant organizations
and personnel in the assurance of quality.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790(a), a copy of.this letter and the enclosures
will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
j
We will gladly discuss any questions you have concerning this inspection.
