SUBJECT:
WOLF CREEK GENERATING STATION - NRC SECURITY INSPECTION
REPORT 05000482/2006007
Dear Mr. Muench:
On November 16, 2006, the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a security
baseline inspection at your Wolf Creek Generating Station. The inspection covered one or
more of the key attributes of the security cornerstone of the NRCs Reactor Oversight Process.
The enclosed inspection report documents the inspection results, which were discussed on
November 16, 2006, with you and other members of your staff.
This inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to security and
compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license.
The inspector reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed
personnel.
This report documents one finding of very low security significance (i.e., Green, as determined
by the Physical Protection Significance Determination Process). The deficiency was promptly
corrected or compensated for, and the plant was in compliance with applicable physical
protection and security requirements within the scope of the inspection before the inspector left
the site. The finding was NRC-identified.
NRC is treating this violation as a noncited violation consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC
Enforcement Policy because of the very low security significance of the violation and because it
is entered into your corrective action program. If you contest this noncited violation, you should
provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your
denial, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN.: Document Control Desk, Washington,
DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator Region IV; the Director, Office of
Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation
