SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-313/93-08; 50-368/93-08 (NOTICE OF

DEVIATION)

This refers to the inspection conducted by Ms. L. J. Smith, and the inspectors

identified in the enclosed report, of this office on August 22 through

October 2, 1993. The inspection included a review of activities authorized

for your Arkansas Nuclear One, Units 1 and 2, facility. At the conclusion of

-

the inspection, the findings were discussed with those members of your staff

identified in the enclosed report. .

Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report. Within

these areas, the inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures

and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observation of

activities in progress. The purpose of the inspection was to determine

whether activities authorized by the license were conducted safely and in

accordance with NRC requirements.

Based on the results of this inspection, certain of your activities appeared

to deviate from your commitments in the Safety Analysis Report, as specified

in the enclosed Notice of Deviation (Notice). We are concerned about the

deviations because failure to administratively control nitrogen isolation

valves in accordance with Table 5 of the Safety Analysis Report posed a

potential for compromising containment integrity. Additionally, the potential

to degrade safety-related piping in Level D storage areas existed.

It is our understanding that, during an exit meeting conducted on

October 7, 1993, Mr. J. Vandergrift, Unit 1 Plant Manager, committed to

corrective actions delineated in Section 3.2 and Section 3.4 for unlocked

closed containment isolation valves _ and Level 0 storage of items,

respectively. If your understanding of this comitment differs from ours,

please contact me immediately.
