APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Arkansas Power & Light Compaay Dockets: 50-313 Arkansas Nuclear One 50-368 Operating Licenses: DPR-51 NPF-6 During an NRC inspection conducted on February 29 through March 4, March 21-25, April 4-8, and June 6-10, 1988, violations of NRC requirements were identified.

The violations involved installation of seismic bolting which did not meet design requirements and failure to take prompt corrective action relating to a Ur.it 2 Emergency Diesel Generator fuel line leak. In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1988), the violations are listed below:

A. Criterion III of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 and Arkansas Power and Light-QA Manual, Section 3.0, require that measures shall be established for design control. This includes selection and review for suitability of application for materials, parts, and components that are essential to the safety-related functions of structures, systems, and components.

Contrary to the above, the licensee selected and installed in Arkansas Nuclear.One, Unit 1, socket head capscrews which did not meet the requirements of the specified seismic design bolting standard for a seismic support bracket for a high pressure injection pump recirculation line valve and motor operator. This standard was American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) A-193, Grade B-7.

This is a Severity Level IV violation. (Supplement I) (313/8805-01)

B. Criterion XVI of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 and Arkansas Power and Light QA Manual, Section 16, require that measures be established to assure that significant conditions adverse to quality are not only promptly corrected but that the cause of the conditions is identified and that action is taken to preclude repetition.

Contrary to the above, for Unit 2 Emergency Diesel Generator 2K4B, a pressurized fuel line that had a through-wall leak on or about December 9, 1985, was still installed with a silverbraze repair that lacked documented acceptability. In addition, no root cause determination, or action to preclude repetition, had been documented. These circumstances were first identified by NRC Inspection Report 50-313;368/87-23 in August 1987, but no documented licensee corrective action had been accomplished since that time.

This is a Severity Level IV violation. (SupplementI)(368/8805-03)

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Arkansas Power & Light Company is hereby required to submit to this office, within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice, a written statement or explanation in reply, including for each violation: (1) the reason for the violation if admitted, (2) the corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved, 8807270003 sgo713 gDR ADOCK 05o00313 PDC
