SUBJECT:

ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE, UNITS 1 AND 2 (REPORT 05000313/2018006 AND 05000368/2018006)

Dear Mr. Anderson:

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has completed its end-of-cycle performance assessment of Arkansas Nuclear One, Units 1 and 2, reviewing performance indicators (PIs),

inspection results, and enforcement actions from January 1, 2018, through December 31, 2018.

This letter informs you of the NRCs assessment of your facility during this period and its plans for future inspections at your facility. The NRC concluded that overall performance at your facility preserved public health and safety.

The NRC determined the performance at Arkansas Nuclear One, Units 1 and 2, during the most recent quarter was within the Licensee Response Column, the highest performance category of the NRCs Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) Action Matrix, because all inspection findings had very low safety significance (i.e., Green), and all performance indicators were within the expected range (i.e., Green). Therefore, the NRC plans to conduct ROP baseline inspections at your facility.

On May 31, 2018, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at your Arkansas Nuclear One facility, Units 1 and 2 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML18165A206). During this inspection, the inspection team reviewed the last of the specific actions from the Arkansas Nuclear One Comprehensive Recovery Plan to which you committed via a Confirmatory Action Letter (CAL)

dated June 17, 2016 (ADAMS Accession No. ML16169A193)(EA-16-124). As a result of closing the Yellow findings and the CAL, the NRC updated its assessment of Arkansas Nuclear One, Units 1 and 2. Based on a review of current performance indicators and inspection results at that time, the NRC determined the performance at Arkansas Nuclear One, Units 1 and 2, to be in the Licensee Response Column (Column 1) of the Reactor Oversight Process Action Matrix.

The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through December 31, 2020. This updated inspection plan now includes planned security inspections which were formerly transmitted under separate correspondence. The NRC provides the inspection plan to allow for the resolution of any scheduling conflicts and personnel availability issues. Routine inspections performed by resident inspectors are not included in the inspection plan. You should be aware that the agency is pursuing potential changes to the ROP, including changes to engineering inspections (SECY-18-0113, Recommendations for Modifying the Reactor Oversight Process Engineering Inspections). Should these changes to the ROP be implemented, the engineering and other region-based inspections are subject to change in scope, as well as schedule, beginning in January 2020. The inspections listed during the last 12 months of the inspection plan are tentative and may be revised. The NRC will contact you as soon as possible to discuss changes to the inspection plan should circumstances warrant any changes.

Additionally, as reflected in the enclosure, during this period the NRC staff will complete Temporary Instruction 2515/194, Inspection of the Licensee's Implementation of Industry Initiative Associated with the Open Phase Condition Design Vulnerabilities in Electric Power Systems (NRC Bulletin 2012-01).

Also, in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter 0305, Section 10.02.d.7, a follow-up inspection of your improvement initiatives completed since the Confirmatory Action Letter (EA-16-124) was closed using Inspection Procedures 71152, Problem Identification and Resolution, and 71153, Follow-up of Events and Notices of Enforcement Discretion, will be performed. This is reflected in the enclosure as Post Column 4 Follow-up.

In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRCs document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

Please contact me at 817-200-1574 with any questions you have regarding this letter.

Sincerely,

/RA/

Neil F. OKeefe, Chief Project Branch D Division of Reactor Projects Docket Nos. 50-313 and 50-368 License Nos. DPR-51 and NPF-6 Enclosure:
