'NUCLEAR OPERATING CORPORATION Kevin J. Moles Manager Regulatory Affairs May 16, 2005 RA 05-0057 U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ATTN: Document Control Desk Washington, DC 20555
Reference:
Letter RA 05-0039, dated April 28, 2005, from K. J. Moles, WCNOC to USNRC
Subject:
Docket No. 50-482: Correction to Wolf Creek Generating Station Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report - Report 28 Gentlemen:
The reference submitted The Wolf Creek Generating Station Annual Radiological Effluent Release Report - Report 28, for the period of January 1 to December 31, 2004. On May 6, 2005 Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation identified that Section III of the Executive Summary of this report contained an error. The final sentence of Section III of the Executive Summary should not include the sentence uAt the time of this report, MET data was not made available." This statement was included in draft copies distributed for internal review. The report submitted contains all the correct MET data. Therefore, this statement should not have been included in the final document.
The enclosure to this letter provides a corrected page 5 of 40 with the incorrect statement removed. WCNOC regrets any inconvenience the error and its correction may have caused.
There are no commitments contained in this correspondence.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact me at (620) 364-4126, or Diane Hooper at (620) 364-4041.

5 of 40 PIR 2004-0620 - The MET tower did not meet the 90% data recovery availability for 2003 required by Reg Guide 1.23, "Meteorological Programs in Support of Nuclear Power Plants." Actual availability was 84.4%. Instrumentation has been replaced to improve availability.
PIR 2004-1096 - On April 16, 2004, while recircing Waste Gas Decay Tank #6, the tank pressure was noticed to be decreasing by Operations. After investigating, it was determined that the pressure loss was accounted for by an increase in Gas Decay Tank #8.
PIR 2004-1235 - During the Quick Hit Assessment (04-153) of high ammonia chemistry, it was discussed that there was no clear determination on the effect of the ZERO system if high concentrations of ETA water are found to be leaking into the Dirty Radwaste System (DRW) from the Blowdown system.
PIR 2004-1287 - While preparing a liquid release permit for Waste Monitor Tank A (THB07A) on May 6, 2004, it was discovered that radiation monitor HBRE-18 was inoperable. Chemistry had not been notified of the monitor inoperability. The Offsite Dose Calculation Manual requires at least two independent samples be analyzed and at least two qualified individuals verify release rates and valve lineup with an inoperable monitor.
PIR 2004-1410 - The ODCM contains a statement that information contained in appendix B of attachment A is 'proprietary information provided by SAL." This is a concern because the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) cannot put information identified as proprietary in the public domain, and they cannot withhold the information without the appropriate documentation describing what is proprietary and why.
PIR 2004-2087 - On August 13, 2004, the channel checks for radiation monitors GTRE-31 and GTRE-32 were not performed as required by Surveillance Requirements between 1100 and 1900 hours0.022 days <br />0.528 hours <br />0.00314 weeks <br />7.2295e-4 months <br />. This is considered a missed surveillance in accordance with Surveillance Requirement 3.0.3.
PIR 2004-3146 - A Steam Generator Blowdown composite sample was not obtained within the necessary time, including the 25% grace period. The composite sample is required by AP 07B-003, Offsite Dose Calculation Manual. The result was a missed ODCM surveillance.
PIR 2004-3374 - The Effluent Management Software (EMS) used for performing Offsite Dose Calculation Manual required effluent release permit calculations was found to be inoperable on December 12, 2004. The Information Services help desk was contacted to resolve the problem, but due to the software age, lack of IS knowledge and no support system set up for immediate vendor assistance, the problems have yet to be resolved.
Section III -
Section III documents WCGS meteorological data for wind speed, wind direction, and atmospheric stability.
