-Region IV 611 Ryan Plaza Drive Suite 1000 Arlington, Texas 76012 KMIRRC-024 Re: NRC Docket No. 50-482 Sub: Interim Report on Potential 50.55 (e) Nuclear Coating in the Reactor Building

Dear Mr. Seidle:

On July 25, 1980, Mr. Earl Creel reported to Mr. C.R. Oberg of the NRC Regicn IV office that Daniel had stopped applying coating in the reactor building at Wolf Creek Generating Station. This work stoppage came as a result of questions regarding the adequacy of Daniel's coating procedures. Bechtel, the Lead Architect / Engineer, is presently reviewing these procedures and will approve them prior to the resumption of any safety-related coating work. Once the procedures are approved, a review will be made of the Daniel coating records to ascertain if the previously applied coating is acceptable.

This review may indicate that other actions are necessary in order to determine its adequacy.

Due to the fact that the acceptability of the field applied contain-ment coating is indeterminate, this matter is being considered as a potential 50.55(e) item. At this time we do not have any physical evidenc which indicates there is a problem with the coating. We expect that approximately two months will be needed to complete the above investigation, thus a supplement to this interim report will be submit-ted by November 1, 1980.

Very truly yours,
