SUMMARY
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) continued monitoring the licensees performance by conducting a security baseline inspection at Wolf Creek Generating Station, in accordance with the Reactor Oversight Process. The Reactor Oversight Process is the NRCs program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors. Refer to https://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/oversight.html for more information. A licensee-identified non-cited violation is documented in report section: 71130.0
List of Findings and Violations
No findings or violations of more than minor significance were identified.
Additional Tracking Items
None.
INSPECTION SCOPES
Unless otherwise noted, baseline security inspections were conducted in accordance with the appropriate portions of the inspection procedures (IPs) in effect at the beginning of the inspection. Samples were declared complete when the IP requirements most appropriate to the inspection activity were met consistent with Inspection Manual Chapter 2201, Security Inspection Program for Commercial Nuclear Power Reactors. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel to assess licensee performance and compliance with Commission rules and regulations, license conditions, site procedures, and standards. Publicly available IPs are located at:

INSPECTION RESULTS
Licensee-Identified Non-Cited Violation 71130.08 This violation of very low safety significance was identified by the licensee and has been entered into the licensee corrective action program and is being treated as a non-cited violation, consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.
Violation: 10 CFR 26.211(a)(3) states Post-event. A fatigue assessment must be conducted in response to events requiring post-event drug and alcohol testing as specified in §26.31(c).
Contrary to the above, on April 12 and June 21, 2018, the license failed to conduct a post-event fatigue assessment in response to events requiring post-event drug and alcohol testing as required by 10 CFR 26.211(a)(3). Specifically, the licensee identified these failures during a Quality Assurance (QA) audit issued on October 23, 2018, that documented on two occasions the site failed to perform a fatigue assessment following an event requiring post event drug and alcohol testing. Additionally, Site procedure AP 13-001, Fatigue Management, Rev 20B, Step 6.6.4.3.a state a fatigue assessment shall be performed in response to events requiring post event drug and alcohol testing.
Significance/Severity Level: The inspector screened this performance deficiency using Inspection Manual Chapter 0612, Appendix B, Issue Screening, and determined that this performance deficiency was more than minor because if left uncorrected it would have the potential to lead to a more significant concern. Specifically, the licensee would not obtain the required information following an event to determine the cause.
Significance/Severity: Green.
