Gentlemen:
This refers to the inspection conducted by Messrs. M. E. Skow, W. B. Jones,
and D. V. Pickett and Ms. L. L. Gundrum of this office during the period
June 1-30, 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 Mr. J. A. Bailey 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, plant startup from refueling, onsite followup of events at
operating power reactors, 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.
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 provisions 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.
One violation involves multiple examples of inadequate corrective actions
which have failed to prevent the recurrence of similar events.
The second violation concerns several examples of inadequate posttrip review
documentation. The individual examples were evaluated in the aggregate to be
of more than minor safety significance.
Additionally, during this inspection a violation pertaining to the failure to
!
update information into the Updated Safety Analysis Report (USAR) was
identified and evaluated. This violation is not being cited because the
,
criteria specified in Section V.A of the Enforcement Policy were satisfied, as

We have also examined actions you have taken with regard to a previously
identified inspection finding.
The status of this item is identified in
paragraph 9 of the enclosed report.

to the clearance procedures of the Office of Management and Budget as required
by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, PL 96-511.

discuss them with you.
