SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50 482/97 13 1

Dear Mr. Maynard:

An NRC inspection was conducted June 24 27, 1997, at your Wolf Creek Generating

Station reactor facility, with in office inspection continuing until July _8,1997.

Supplemental exits were conducted via telephone on July 8 and August 12,1997, with i,

your staff. The enclosed report presents the scope and results of that inspection.

The inspection followed up on welding work control issues. Three unresolved items were

identified. The first deals with an apparent falsification of a field welding material

requisition form. The second consists of two examples of unauthorized and undocumented

welding activities. The third pertains to a lack of control over welding material. These

matters are discussed in Section M8.1 of the enclosed inspection report and are

outstanding pending further NRC review.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter

and its enclosure will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR).

Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, we will be pleased to discuss

them with you.

Sincerely,

0
