SUBJECT:

WOLF CREEK GENERATING STATION, NRC SECURITY INSPECTION REPORT 05000482/2016408

Dear Mr. Heflin:

On July 27, 2016, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a security inspection at the Wolf Creek Generating Station. The NRC inspectors discussed the results of this inspection with Mr. S. Smith, Plant Manager, and other members of your staff. The inspectors documented the results of this inspection in the enclosed inspection report.

The NRC inspectors documented three findings of very low security significance (Green) in this report. These findings involved violations of NRC requirements. In addition, the inspectors documented one violation that was determined to be Severity Level IV under the traditional enforcement process. Further, inspectors documented a licensee-identified violation which was determined to be of very low safety significance in this report. The NRC is treating these violations as non-cited violations (NCVs) consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the Enforcement Policy.

If you contest the violations or significance of the non-cited violations, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001, with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region IV; the Director, Office of Enforcement, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the NRC resident inspector at the Wolf Creek Generating Station.

Cross-cutting aspects were assigned to three of the findings in the areas of problem identification and resolution, evaluation (P.2) and self-assessment (P6) (assigned to two of the findings). If you disagree with the cross-cutting aspect assignments in this report, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with a basis for your disagreement to the Regional Administrator, Region IV, and the NRC resident inspector at the Wolf Creek Generating Station. In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding, of the NRC's Rules of Practice and Procedure, a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRCs Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of the NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

However, the material enclosed herewith contains Security-Related Information in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390(d)(1) and its disclosure to unauthorized individuals could present a security vulnerability. Therefore, the material in the enclosure will not be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the PARS component of NRC's ADAMS. If you choose to provide a response and Security-Related Information is necessary to provide an acceptable response, please mark your entire response Security-Related Information - Withhold from Public Disclosure under 10 CFR 2.390 in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390(d)(1) and follow the instructions for withholding in 10 CFR 2.390(b)(1). In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390(b)(1)(ii), the NRC is waiving the affidavit requirements for your response.

Sincerely,

/RA James R. Larsen for/
