Dear Mr Denton:

More than a year ago, Kansas Gas and Electric Company (KG&E) established its Quality First Program for the Wolf Creek Generating Station. Our intent in establishing the Program was to provide a mechanism for people working at the Wolf Creek site (and at KG&E's home offices) to confidentially report to an independent organization any concerns they might have with the Wolf Creek project.

The Program

~

was created not to meet any regulatory requirement or Final Safety Analysis Report commitment, but because of our belief that it would benefit the project. We have been pleased to be able to share our experience in establishing and operating the Program both with other utilities and with the Commission.

Since the inception of the Quality First Program, we have sought to fully cooperate with the Commission.

Suggestions that we have received as a result of NRC inspections have been incorporated where appropriate and have improved the Program.

KC&E intends to continue the Quality First Program. As in the past, all Quality First files will be retained and will be fully available for review by NRC investigators and inspectors.

In addition, KG6E will keep the Commission aware of concerns the Quality First Program receives on " wrong-doing" issues (such as intimidation /

harassment, drug or alcohol abuse) where the initial review indicates that the concern may have some merit.
