Docket No. STN 50-482 Subj: Quality Assurance Program Changes Gentlemen :
10CFR50.55 was amended in 48 F.R. 1026 to require each construction permit holder to submit within 90 days, those changes to the Quality Assurance program description that do not reduce the commitments in the program description previously accepted by the NRC.
Transmitted herewith are changes to the Wolf Creek Operational Quality Assurance Program and the Wolf Creek Addendum to the SNUPPS Quality Assurance Program for Design and Construction. These changes will be formally incorporated in the next revisions to these documents.
"he following revised pages update the organization description of Kansas Gas and Electric Company:
Wolf Creek Addendum to the SNUPPS Quality Assurance Program for Design and Construction.
Pages 17.1-3 through 17.1-4a, 17.1-7 and 17.1-8.

-i Mr. Harold R. Denton and Mr. John T. Collins KMLNRC 83-102 August 2, 1983 delineation of the authority and duties of positions performing activities affecting the safety-related functions of structures, systems and components. The organization elements performing quality assurance functions maintain sufficient authority and independence as required by Appendix B.
KG&E therefore concludes that these revisions to the programs satisfy the criteria provided in 10CFR50 Appendix B.
The change to page 17.1-5 of the Wolf Creek Addendum to the SNUPPS Quality Assurance Program for Design and Construction revises the minimum qual-ification requirements for the Manager Quality Assurance. The change was made to be consistent with qualification requirements contained in the NRC accepted Wolf Creek OQAP (Chapter 17.2 of the Wolf Creek FSAR Addendum).
MG&E concludes that this revision to the program satisfies the criteria provided in 10CFR50 Appendix B.
A sentence was added to page 17A-1 of the Wolf Creek Addendum to the SNUPPS Quality Assurance Program for Design and Construction. This sentence i
was added to reflect the fact that safety-related work previously assigned to the Site Architect / Engineer, Sargent & Lundy, has been completed. KG&E concluded that this revision to the program satisfies the criteria provided in 10CFR50 Appendix B.
In accordance with 10CFR50.55 (f), these changes are also being forwarded to the Wolf Creek Resident Inspector Office.
