1 INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DISCUSSION 1.1 Introduction The Kansas Gas and Electric Company (KG&E), acting as applicant and agent for the owners, filed an application for an operating license (0L) for the Wolf Creek Generating Station, Unit 1 (Docket No. STN 50-482), located in Coffey County, Kansas. KG&E is one of two utilities that joined together under the acronym SNUPPS (Standardized Nuclear Unit Power Plant System) to submit appli-cations for OLs for a standard plant design for review under the Commission's standardization policy using the duplicate plant option described in Appendix N of Part 50 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 10 (10 CFR 50). The other SNUPPS OL application submitted for review was that submitted by Union Electric Company (UE) for the Callaway Plant (Docket No. STN 50-483), located in Callaway County, Missouri.

In April 1982, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued its Safety Evalu-ation Report (SER) (NUREG-0881) for the application filed by KG&E. Supplement 1 to the SER (SSER 1) was issued in August 1982, Supplement 2 (SSER 2) was issued in June 1983, Supplement 3 (SSER 3) was issued in August 1983, Supplement 4

($$ER 4) was issued in December 1983, and Supplement 5 (SSER 5) was issued in l March 1985. These documents contained a number of items that were not resolved These items were categorized as with the applicant.

(1) Outstanding items that needed to be resolved before the issuance of an operating license.

(2) Items for which the staff had completed its review and had determined po-sitions about which there appeared to be no significant disagreement be-tween the applicant and the staff. However, further information was needed to confirm these positions.

(3) Items for which the staff had taken positions and would require implemen-tation and/or documentation after the issuance of the OL. These would be conditions to the OL.

The purpose of this sixth supplement (SSER 6) is to provide the staff evalua-tion of those items that required resolution before 5% of rated power could be exceeded and to address changes to the SER that resulted from the receipt of additional information. Each of the following sections of this supplement is numbered the same as the section of the SER and its supplements that is being updated and, unless otherwise noted, the discussions are supplementary to and not in lieu of the previous discussions.

j Copies of this supplement are available for inspection at the NRC Public Docu-( ment Room, 1717 H Street N.W., Washington, D.C., at the William Allen White Library, Emporia State University; and at the Washburn University School of Law Library, Topeka, Kansas. Single copies may be purchased from the sources indi-cated on the inside front cover.

3 DESIGN CRITERIA FOR STRUCTURES, SYSTEMS, AND COMPONENTS 3.10 Seismic and Dynamic Qualification of Seismic Category I Mechanical and Electrical Equipment 3.10.1 Seismic and Dynamic Qualification of Seismic Category I Mechanical and Electrical Equipment In SSER 5 the staff recommended low power operation of Wolf Creek. The staff has subsequently completed its review of the licensee's seismic and dynamic qualification program (SER Section 3.10.1) and found the program to be accept-able because it meets all the applicable portions of General Design Criteria (GDC) 1, 2, 4, 14 and 30 of Appendix A to 10 CFR 50, Appendix B to 10 CFR 50, and Appendix A to 10 CFR 100. On the basis of its findings and the acceptance of the licensee's justification for interim operation, as stated in SSER 5, and the staff requirement that the licensee provide written confirmation of the completion of all items of the program in accordance with approved standards, the staff recommends full power operation for Wolf Creek Unit 1.

On the basis of the above evaluation, License Condition 2C(5) is satisfied and has been removed.

f Wolf Creek SSER 6 3-1

l 5 REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM l

5. 2 Integrity of Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary License Condition 2.C.(7) requires that "By June 1, 1985, KG&E shall submit '-

for NRC review and approval a description of equipment modifications to the residual heat removal system (RHRS) suction isolation valves and to closure c-circuitry which conform to the applicable staff requirements (SRP 5.2.2)."

By letter dated May 22, 1985, the licensee submitted its response to License Condition 2.C.(7). Therefore, License Condition 2.C.(7) is satisfied and has been removed from the full power license.

Wolf Creek SSER 6 5-1

! 13 CONDUCT OF OPERATIONS 13.1 Organizational Structure and Qualifications a

13.1.2 Operating Shift Crews .

License Condition 2.C.(7) requires, in part, that " prior to exceeding 5% power, '

KG&E shall certify to the NRC the names of the advisors who have been examined '

and have been determined to be competent to provide advice to the operating shifts."

By letter dated May 29, 1985, the licensee provided the names of the six indi- -

viduals who would serve as the shift advisors. Therefore, this portion of License Condition 2.C.(7) is satisfied and has been removed from the full power license.

13.3 Emergency Preparedness Evaluation 13.3.1 Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Findings on Offsite Emergency Plans and Preparedness In Supplement No. 5 to the SER, the staff provided a status report on the FEMA evaluation of offsite emergency plans and preparedness and indicated that FEMA's -

findings and determinations would be provided in a future supplement. FEMA has completed its assessment and reported its findings in a memorandum to the NRC dated January 24, 1985. On the basis of a review of the offsite plans and evaluation of the November 7, 1984, exercise and a remedial drill held on December 19, 1984, FEMA believes that (1) the state and local emergency plans are adequate and capable of being implemented and (2) the exercises demon-strated that offsite preparedness is adequate to provide reasonable assurance that appropriate measures can be taken to protect the health and safety of the public living in the vicinity of the site in the event of a radiological emer-gency. The remedial drill successfully demonstrated the county's capability to activate a siren that failed to operate during the November 1984 exercise thereby resolving a Category A deficiency (i.e., a deficiency that would lead to a negative finding in preparedness) identified by FEMA during the exercise.

In a recent decision, GUARD v. NRC, 753 F.2d 1144 (D.C. Cir. 1985), the U.S.

Court of Appeals vacated the Commission's interpretation of 10 CFR 50.47(b)(12) to the extent that a list of facilities was found to constitute adequate arrange-ments for medical services from members of the public offsite exposed to dan-gerous levels of radiation. The Commission has now provided guidance to be followed in determining compliance with this regulation pending its determi-nation of how it will proceed in response to the Court's remand. In particular, the Commission directed that licensing Boards and, in uncontested cases, the staff should consider the uncertainty attendant to the commission's interpre-tation of this regulation, especially in regard to its interpretation of the term " contaminated injured individuals." In GUARD, the Court left open to the Commission discretion to reconsider whether that term should include members of the offsite public exposed to dangerous levels of radiation and, thus, whether Wolf Creek SSER 6 13-1

arrangements of this population of individuals are required at all. For this reason, the Commission observed that it may reasonably be concluded that "no additional actions should be taken now on the strength of the present interpre-tation of that term." Accordingly, the Commission observed that it can be found "that any deficiency which may be found in complying with a finalized post GUARD planning standard (b)(12) is insignificant for the purposes of 10 CFR 50.47.(c)(1)." In this regard, the Commission, as a generic matter, noted the low probability of accidents that might result in exposure of members of the offsite public to dangerous levels of radiation as well as the slow development of adverse reactions to overexposure. See, Emergency Planning; Statement of Policy, 50 FR 20892, May 21, 1985.

Consistent with the foregoing Statement of Policy, the applicant has, by letter dated May 30, 1985, confirmed that, in good faith reliance on the Commission's earlier interpretation of 10 CFR 50.47(6)(12), the emergency plans of the in-volved offsite response jurisdictions contain a list of medical service facili-ties. The existence of such a list in the pertinent plans has also been con-firmed by FEMA. As stated by the Commission, such good faith reliance in the circumstances can be found to constitute "other compelling reasons" within the meaning of 10 CFR 50.47(c)(1). Further, the licensee has committed to fully comply with the Commission's response to the Court's remand.

Accordingly, on the basis of the factors identified by the Commission in its Statement of Policy, the staff has determined that the requirements of 10 CFR 50.47(c)(1) have been satisfied so as to warrant issuance of the operating license pending further action by the Commission with respect to the require-ments of 10 10 CFR 50.47(b)(12).

13.3.2 Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Conditions In an Initial Decision issued on July 2, 1984, the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board (ASLB) specified two conditions to be met before full power operation (i.e., operation above 5% of rated power) and nine staff confirmatory items.

All of the ASLB conditions and confirmatory items were related to offsite preparedness. The staff reported in SSER 5 that, based on information provided by FEMA, one condition related to letters of agreement with hospitals and nursing homes had been satisfied, one condition related to letters of agreement for medical transportation services had been partially satisfied, and that all of the confirmatory items with the exception of one item related to a second telephone line in the County Engineer's office had been verified as completed.

In the January 24, 1985, memorandum to the NRC, FEMA reported that all letters of agreement for the transportation of hospital and nursing home patients with the exception of one ambulance service had been received and that sufficient litter-carrying capacity is provided even without the one ambulance service.

In a letter to the NRC dated February 14, 1985, the licensee provided a copy of a letter of agreement dated February 4, 1985, with Lyon County Ambulance Service, the one remaining ambulance service. With regard to the confirmatory item, FEMA reported that a second telephone line had been installed in the County Engineer's office. On the basis of information provided by FEMA, the staff concludes that the conditions and confirmatory items specified by the ASLB for Wolf Creek have been satisfactorily completed.

Wolf Creek SSER 6 13-2

13.3.3 Conclusion On the basis of its review of the FEMA findings and determinations on the ade-quacy of state and local emergency plans and preparedness, and on the previous NRC assessment of the adequacy of the licensee's onsite emergency plans and preparedness (see SSER 5 dated March 1985), the staff concludes that the over-all state of onsite and offsite emergency preparedness provides reasonable assurance that adequate protective measures can and will be taken in the event of a radiological emergency at Wolf Creek. .
