Region IV

Arlington, Texas 76011

SUBJECT: Arkansas Nuclear One - Units 1 and 2

Docket Nos. 50-313/50-368

License Nos. DPR-51 and NPF-6

Response to Inspection Report

50-313/88-35 and 50-368/88-35

Dear Mr. Milhoan:

NRC's letter of May 23, 1989 (0CNA058922), requested supplemental

information regarding our response to the subject inspection report.

Specifically, additional corrective steps to preclude recurrence of

valve misalignments associated with a Containment Integrated Leak Rate

Test (CILRT) were to be further addressed.

As discussed with Messrs. W. Seidle and R. Azua of NRC Region IV and Messrs.

J. Vandergrift, D. Lomax, and A. Cox of AP&L on May 17, 1989, (and as

l

discussed in the AP&L/NRC Enforcement Conference on January 23, 1989)

actions had already been identified by AP&L that addressed concerns relating

to sign-offs on CILRT valve alignment tags to confirm " hands on" independent

verification. In addition to the actions described in our previous response

(OCAN648905), we will include a required independent verification sign-off

on the CILRT valve tags. An operator will perform the initial CILRT valve

alignment in accordance with the procedure, hang the CILRT valve tags, and

sign-off (i.e., initial) the valve alignment procedure forms. A second

operator will perform an independent verification of the CILRT valve

alignment, sign-off the CILRT valve tags, and sign-off the valve alignment

procedure forms.

While we continue to believe that the valve misalignment discussed in

Notice of Violation 50-313/8835-01 occurred after the initial (and

l .- independently verified) valve alignment, the additional action of

l -. including a required independent verification' sign-off on the CILRT

L valve' tags will provide even more assurance that the CILRT valves are

correctly aligned for performance of the test.

Very truly yours..
