SUBJECT:
WOLF CREEK GENERATING STATION - NRC MATERIAL CONTROL AND ACCOUNTING PROGRAM INSPECTION REPORT 05000482/2007201
Dear Mr. Muench:
On March 12 - 16, 2007, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) conducted a material control and accounting (MC&A) inspection at your Wolf Creek Generating Station. The inspection was conducted under Phase III of Temporary Instruction 2515/154. The enclosed inspection report documents the inspection findings, which were discussed during an exit meeting on March 15, 2007, with Mr. G.J. Neisis, Acting Vice President of Engineering, and other members of your staff, and in a supplemental exit meeting by telephone on April 11, 2007.
The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety, security and compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed storage of special nuclear material in the spent fuel pool, and interviewed personnel. Areas examined during the inspection included physical inventory and accounting records.
This report documents one NRC-identified finding of very low safety significance. This finding was determined to involve violations of NRC requirements. However, because of the very low safety significance and because it is entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating this violation as a non-cited violation (NCV), consistent with Section VI.A of the Enforcement Policy. If you contest this non-cited 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 Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Wolf Creek Generating Station.
When separated from the Enclosure, this document is DECONTROLLED.
