January 28, 2004 Mr. Rick A. Muench President and Chief Executive Officer Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation Post Office Box 411 Burlington, KS 66839
SUBJECT:
WOLF CREEK GENERATING STATION - REVIEW OF LICENSEES COPY OF THE FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE (TAC NO. MC0986)
Dear Mr. Muench:
A comparison review of your copy (i.e., the licensees copy) of Facility Operating License No.
NPF-42 for the Wolf Creek Generating Station with respect to the License Authority File copy maintained at the NRC has been completed. This review included the following appendices to the license: Appendix A (Technical Specifications), Appendix B (Environmental Protection Plan), Appendix C (Antitrust Conditions), and Appendix D (Additional Conditions). The enclosed table shows the differences found between the License Authority File and your copy of the license that need to be corrected. In some cases, an error was found in both the License Authority File and your copy, or in only the License Authority File.
The corrections shown in the enclosed table are divided into the following three categories: (1) the error in the licensees copy of the license can be corrected without an amendment because the licensees copy is being changed to be the same as the License Authority File, (2) the error in the License Authority File was the result of an amendment to the license which inadvertently changed a number in the license which was not part of the proposed amendment, and (3) the error in either the License Authority File, or both the License Authority File and the licensees copy of the license, has to be corrected through an amendment to the license. You are requested to correct the Category 1 errors within three months of the receipt of this letter. For the Category 3 errors, since these errors are not significant, you are requested to submit a license amendment request correcting these errors within 18 months of the receipt of this letter.
The second enclosure is page 4 of the operating license and the double-sided Technical Specification (TS) pages 3.4-3/3.4-4. Page 4 of the operating license corrects an error in License Condition 2.C.(5)(a) to replace a period (".") at the end of the first phrase of a series with a comma (","). TS pages 3.4-3/3.4-4 correct the value for the minimum reactor coolant system flow in Surveillance Requirement 3.4.1.3. Both these errors were inadvertently issued in Amendment Nos. 141 and 144, dated September 24, 2001, and March 28, 2002, respectively, and were not part of the proposed amendments. They are discussed in items 3 and 6, respectively, of Enclosure 1 (the Category 2 errors).

Sincerely,
/RA/

The phrase "Final Safety Analysis Report for the facility through Revision 17." in the License Authority File has a period (".") at the end of the phrase whereas the licensees copy has a comma
(","). Because the phrase is the start of a series, the comma is correct. Although not part of the proposed amendment, the "," was inadvertently included by the staff in Amendment No. 141.

Notes:
Bold is used in the table to show the difference in wording between the licensees copy of the license and the License Authority File.
Acronyms: LCO = limiting condition for operation, RCS = reactor coolant system, RO =
reactor operator, SR = surveillance requirement, SRO = senior reactor operator, TSs =
Technical Specifications, URH = upper right hand The three categories are the following: (1) the error in the licensees copy of the license can be corrected without an amendment because the licensees copy is being changed to be the same as the License Authority File, (2) the error in the License Authority File was the result of an amendment to the license which inadvertently changed a number in the license which was not part of the proposed amendment, and (3) the error in either the License Authority File, or both the License Authority File and the licensees copy of the license, has to be corrected through an amendment to the license.
Item 5.(a) from the License Authority File: "License shall transmit or otherwise arrange for the transmission of the power from KEPCos share of Wolf Creek Nuclear Unit Number 1 to KEPCo, or for the account of KEPCo, to delivery or interconnection points on Licensees system and in amounts as specified by KEPCo. Such deliveries shall be reasonable as to the number of points, system adequacy and frequency of schedule changes."
