Gentlemen:>

p

This refers to the inspection conducted by Messrs. M. E. Skow, B. L. Bartlett,

J

and R. A. Caldwell of this office during the period February 1-28, 1990. -This

.

inspection pertained to activities authorized by NRC Operating License

No. NPF-42 for the Wolf Creek Generating Station, and our findings were

!

.

discussed with you and other members of your staff at the conclusion of the

-'

inspection.

Areas examined during the inspection included plant status, operational safety

verification, monthly surveillance observation, monthly maintenance

'

observation, onsite followup of an event at' operating power reactors, follownp

of previously identified'NRC items, and review of licensee event reports.

Within these areas, the inspection consisted of selective examination of

procedures and' representative records, interviews with personnel, and

observations by the NRC inspectors. The inspection findings are documented in

the enclosed inspection report.

The NRC staff is concerned that personnel and procedural deficiencies resulted

in the unavailability.of the turbine driven auxiliary feedwater pump. Proper

management controls should provide assurance that licensed operators are

cognizant of each-applicable system status prior to assuming shift

responsibilities.

.

During this inspection, it was found that certain of your activities were in

violation of- NRC requirements.

Consequently. you are required to respond.to

these. violations, in writing, in accordance with the provisiuns of

Section 2.201 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," Part 2, Title 10, Code of

Federal Regulations. Your response should be based on the specifics contained

in the Notice of Violation enclosed with this letter.

The response directed by this letter and the accompanying Notice is not subject

to the clearance procedures of the Office of Management and Budget as required

by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, PL 96-511.
