Items of Interest Week Ending February 15, 2019 Differing Professional Opinion Regarding Two Final Significance Determinations for Wolf Creek Generating Station On December 31, 2018, the Regional Administrator (RA), Region IV, issued a decision on a Differing Professional Opinion (DPO) involving the issuance of two final significance determinations for inspection findings at the Wolf Creek Generating Station. The DPO raised concerns that the inspection findings were incorrectly dispositioned as very low security significance (Green) and should have been dispositioned as Greater than Green findings. A DPO ad hoc review panel was established to review the DPO submittal and issue a report to the RA. Regarding the first finding, the panel felt that the significance determination of Green was appropriate. For the second finding, the panel agreed with the submitter that the finding should have been dispositioned as Greater than Green. Based on a review of the DPO submittal, panel report, relevant inspection reports, and information provided at the Regulatory Conference with the licensee, the RA determined that both findings were appropriately dispositioned as Green.
