INSPECTION SCOPES

Inspections were conducted using the appropriate portions of the inspection procedures (IPs) in effect at the beginning of the inspection unless otherwise noted. Currently approved IPs with their attached revision histories are located on the public website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/insp-manual/inspection-procedure/index.html. Samples were declared complete when the IP requirements most appropriate to the inspection activity were met consistent with Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 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.

Security Plan Changes===

(1) U) The inspectors evaluated the security plan changes through completion of the following procedure elements:

(U) Since the last NRC inspection of this program area, Wolf Creek Nuclear Generating Station Security Plan Revision 16 was implemented based on the licensee's determination, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(p)(2), that the changes resulted in no decrease in safeguards effectiveness of the security plan, and that the revised security plan changed continues to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 73.55(b). The inspector conducted a review of the security plan changes to evaluate for potential decrease in safeguards effectiveness of the security plan. However, this review does not constitute formal NRC approval of the changes. Therefore, these changes remain subject to future NRC inspection in their entirety.
