Subject: COMPLETION OF ANO, UNIT 2, REFUELING OUTAGE                     

Discussion:

On February 25, at 1:41 p.m., Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 2, completed    
Refueling Outage 2R13.  The refueling outage began on January 9, 1999. In
addition to refueling the reactor, major work completed during the outage
included replacement of main condenser tube bundles, moisture separator  
reheater tube bundles, and one reactor coolant pump seal. Plant staff    
also replaced safety-related inverters and portions of service water     
system piping; performed steam generator testing and repair; performed   
reactor vessel 10-year inservice inspection; and performed inspection of 
the main generator.                                                      

Regional Action:

The resident inspectors will monitor the return of ANO, Unit 2, to full  
power.

Subject: STARTUP FROM REFUELING OUTAGE                                   

Discussion:

On February 26, 1999, San Onofre Unit 2 restarted and connected to the   
grid after completing a 54-day outage.  Major work activities completed  
during the 2R10 refueling outage included refueling; replacing the low   
pressure turbines; steam generator eddy current testing, sleeving and    
plugging; relining the diesel generator fuel oil storage tanks; and      
modifying the component cooling water noncritical loop isolation valves, 
which ensured that the safety-related design flows could be maintained.  
The licensee plugged 50 tubes in each steam generator and sleeved 86 and 
52 tubes in the SG2E088 and SG2E089 steam generators, respectively.      
These values were much lower than anticipated.  Upon startup, the        
licensee implemented a 13 degree F reactor coolant temperature reduction 
in order to aid in preserving the life of the steam generator tubes.     

Regional Action:

The resident inspectors will monitor the licensee activities.
