Subject:

Docket No. 50-482: Revision of Information Provided in 10 CFR 50.75 Report on Status of Decommissioning Funding Gentlemen:

Reference 1 provided Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation's (WCNOC) report on status of decommissioning funding for Wolf Creek Generating Station (WCGS). Reference 2 provided a request for additional information (RAI) related to this report. During the preparation of WCNOC's response to reference 2 it was discovered that some of the values reported in reference 1 under the section titled "Assumptions re: Rates/Factors specific to Owner and Jurisdiction" were not accurate.

The correct values are set out in the Attachment to this letter. Please note that while some of the values in the section titled "Assumptions re: Rates/Factors specific to Owner and Jurisdiction" of reference 1 were not correct, the values calculated in the preceding sections of the report used the correct information in the calculations. Therefore the "Schedule of Amounts Collected" and the market values of the Owners' funds were reported correctly even though some of the assumptions listed in reference 1 were not accurate.

Reference 3 provides WCNOCs response to the RAI.
