Subject:

Docket No. 50-482: Revision to Commitment Completion Date Reported in Wolf Creek Generating Station LER 2009-002-00 Gentlemen:

In accordance with NEI 99-04, "Guidelines for Managing NRC Commitment Changes," this letter provides notification to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) of a change made to a commitment to the NRC and completion of such commitment.

On October 17, 2009, Wolf Creek Generating Station (WCGS) submitted Licensee Event Report 2009-002-00, "Loss of Offsite Power due to Lightning", as referenced above.

In the referenced submittal WCGS committed that "The owners of WCGS, utilizing industry guidance, shall update the RCM" (Reliability Centered Maintenance) "process to utilize the desired preventive and predictive maintenance activities, frequencies, spare parts, critical substation components and performance monitoring for Wolf Creek Switchyard and the Wolf Creek terminals at LaCygne, Rose Hill and Benton substations and interfacing transmission components."

This commitment was scheduled to be completed by December 31, 2010.

However, WCGS owners indicated that delays would result from the reassignment of resources necessary to conduct the North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC) audit that took place in 2010.

As of December 31, 2010, WCGSs owner companies reported that they had been working with Reliability Centers Inc. (RCI), an outside independent contractor, on an in-depth review of the RCM program for the equipment listed in the commitment. Site visits were conducted by RCI at Wolf Creek, Benton and Rose Hill substations to review the assets and components at each one of these locations. RCI has also been reviewing work processes and procedures for these assets. Weekly conference calls were held to discuss findings and observations after the data was analyzed. The owners received the recommendations from RCI for the Wolf Creek RCM review. The recommendations for the RCMs for Benton and Rose Hill substation along with the Transmission and Substation component trending were received by January 31, 2011.

WO 11-0009 Page 2 of 2 LaCygne line terminal equipment has been entered into the Kansas City Power & Light (KCP&L) EMPAC Work Management System which is being used by KCP&L to track the scheduled tasks, responsible party, and completion dates. The LaCyne line terminal equipment work was completed by December 31, 2010. The completed RCM updates were provided to Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation (WCNOC) for information purposes.

Based on the foregoing reasons, the commitment made in LER 2009-002-00 was completed on January 31, 2011, instead of the original commitment date of December 31, 2010.

The attachment to this letter, List of Commitments, not only revises the original commitment date but also reflects the status of completion of the commitment on January 31, 2011.
