SUBJECT:
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF RESPONSE TO NRC CHILLING EFFECT LETTER AT WOLF CREEK GENERATING STATION
Dear Mr. Sunseri:
By letter dated August 19, 2013, (ADAMS ML13233A208), the NRC issued a Chilling Effect letter notifying Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation of two concerns with the safety conscious work environment at Wolf Creek Generating Station (WCGS). The first concern related to a May 15, 2013, finding by the Department of Labors Occupational Safety and Health Administration that Enercon Services, Inc., a contract company performing work at WCGS had discriminated against a former employee for raising safety concerns at WCGS. The second concern related to the NRC identification of the existence of a chilled work environment in WCGSs Quality Assurance Group.
This letter is to acknowledge your letter dated September 18, 2013, (ADAMS ML13267A161),
which contains your response to the information requested within 30 days of receiving the Chilling Effect letter. We will review your response and determine future inspection activities required to review the progress on your stated actions.
Please contact me at (817) 200-1141 with any questions concerning the details of the chilling effect letter.
Sincerely,
/RA/
