In accordance with the requirements of 10CFR50.54 (a)(3) this letter contains the annual submittal of changes to the Wolf Creek Generating Station operating Quality program. These changes do not reduce the commitments in the program description previously accepted by the NRC.
Attachment 1 identifies the reason for each change and the basis for con-cluding that the revised program continues to satisfy Appendix B of 10CFR50 and the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) Quality Assurance program commitments. Attachment 2 contains marked up FSAP. pages identifyfng the changes. These changes will be included in the first submittal of the Updated Safety Analysis Report.
If yc' have any questions concerning this matter please contact me or Mr.
Otto Maynard of my staff.
Yours very truly, ,

A r t ATTACHMENT 1 Change Number Reas'on Why Change Does Not Reduce Quality Commitments 1 These changes were made to reflect the fact that the design, construction, preoperational testing and startup testing
, phases at WCGS have been completed. No operating Quality program changes have been made.
Reason Why Change Does Not Reduce Qaality Commitments 2 Throughout Chapter 17 and the remainder of the FSAR KG&E is referenced by name as being responsible for all aspects of WCGS. These changes attempt to reduce the number of KG&E specific references which will be used in the first printing of the Updated Safety Analysis Report (USAR).
KG&E recognizes that they have exclusive responsibility and control over the physical construction, operations and maintenance of the facility and that any change in this status would require prior NRC approval. Generalizing the majority of the text by referencing "the Operating Agent" instead of KG&E in the first printing of the USAR will save considerable time and money should a decision ever be made to request and grant a revision to this division of responsibility.
No operating Quality program changes have been made as a result of these changes.
Reason Why Change Does Not Reduce Quality Commitments 3 All organizational descriptions are being consolidated into Section 13.1. This revision eliminates redundant text and reduces the possibility of conflicting job descriptions.
The WCGS organization charts are presented in the Technical Specifications and therefore the NRC is notified whenever KG&E implements any change.
Reason Why Change Does Not Reduce Quality Commitments 4 These changes either correct typographical errors or are editorial. No operating Quality program change has been implemented.

Reason Why Change Does Not Reduce Quality Commitments 6 The title of the Wolf Creek Project Policy Manual has been changed to the Nuclear Department Policy Manual. No operating Quality program change has been made.
Reason Why Change Does Not Reduce Quality Commitments 7 These changes were sent to the NRC in KMLNRC 85-095 prior to receipt of the WCGS Full Power Operating License.
Reason Why Change Does Not Reduce Quality Commitments 8 The intent of the word " reviewed" in the existing FSAR is that the Quality Branch will " review" Design Criteria in the course of their audits of the design process.
Verification of proper application of seismic and quality classification criteria as well as quality standards remain within the purview of the independent review process which is part of the design quality assurance provisions described in the FSAR Section 17.2.3.6. This clarification does not modify the existing requirement for Quality Branch approval of changes made to Table 3.2-1 of the Standard Plant FSAR (See FSAR Section 17.2.2.2).
The original intent of this paragraph has not been changed and no reduction in Quality requirements is realized.
Reason Why Change Does Not Reduce Quality Commitments 9 These changes were made to incorporate information trans-mitted by KMLNRC 85-063 in response to NRC questions into the FSAR. No additional operating Quality program changes have been made.

Also controlled b the operating Quality program eee fcertain construction com-pletion activities such as component tests, flushing, and l@
hydrostatic tests performed by the 4G6rE startup organization. @
The extent of control over these activities as they affect quality is consistent with their importance to nuclear safety.

Included within the operating Quality program are the develop-ment, control and use of computer code programs. The Nuclear Plant Engineering Division, Nuclear Services Division, and the Plant Staff are responsible for the computer programs used internally. Internal activities associated with verification, documentation, and use of computer programs utilized in safety-related analyses, are accomplished in accordance with documented procedures. Verification that the procedures are being followed and are effective in controlling computer pro-gram use is provided by internal audits by the Quality Branch.
Assurance that external organizations are controlling activi-ties associated with computer programs used for safety-related analysis is provided through the supplier qualification process, through imposition of requirements in purchase orders and contracts and/or through audits.

SNUPPS-WC 17.2.2 QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM 17.2.2.1 Scope 7t. huaray AtwT M%E has established an operating Quality program which l@
s controls activities affecting quality. The program encom-passes those quality activities necessary to support the operating phase of the WCGS. The total operating Quality program complies with 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, " Quality Assur-ance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants and Fuel Reprocessing Plants" and generally follows the guidance of Regulatory Guide 1.33. Several alternate methods of meeting Regulatory Guide 1.33 are described in this chapter and in Appendix 3A.
17.2.2.2 Identification of Safety-Related Item _s, The scope and activity applicability of the operating Quality program are described in Section 17.2.0. Safety-related structures, systems, and components are identified in Table 3.2-1 of the Standard Plant FSAR. This list includes struc-tures, systems, and components identified as safety-related dering the de e ig.- 2nd cenetructica ph;ce and may be modified as required during operatiene, consistent with their impor- b tance to nuclear safety. Table 3.2-1 is maintained current by the Manager Nuclear Services with changes to the table being
. Opproved by the Director Quality, Director of Engineering and Technical Services, and Director Nu? lear Operations.
During the Operaticn:1 phaec [he operating Quality program is l@
the governing quality assurance program for safety-related structures, systems, components and consumables. The programs identified under the " Quality Assurance" heading of Table 3.2-1 @ those utilized during the design and construction l@
phase. Should safety-related equipment or services be pro-cured f rom Bechtel, Westinghouse, or others during the oper-ating phase, quality assurance requirements will be determined and imposed in accordance with Sections 17.2.4 and 17.2.7.

Procedures shall spe-cify the organization responsible for design reviews and approval for each design organiza tion. Review, approval, release and distribution of these policies and procedures, and revisions thereto, shall be controlled.
17.2.3.6 Design Review and Verification The design process shall include design verification by qualified persons to assure that the design is adequate and meets specified design input. Design control procedures shall specify requirements for the selection and accomplish-ment of a design ve rification program. The depth of the program shall be commensurate with the importance of the system or component to the safety, complexity of design, and similarity e# de r i';r to previous designs. A g
Design verification shall be either by testing, design review, alternate calculation, qualification testing, or by a combina-tion of these. If the ve rification method is only by test, the following requirements shall be met:
- 1. Procedures shall provide criteria that specify when verification should be by test.
- 2. Prototype, component or feature testing shall be performed as ea rly as possible prior to installation of plant equipment, or prior to the point when the installation would become
.irreve rsible 4
- 3. Verification by test shall be performed under simulate the most adve rse conditions that design conditions as determined by analysis.
Design verification shall be performed by qualified verifiers who are not directly responsible for the design or the design change, except in unusual cases, the designer's supervisor may perform the verification if e he is the only technically qual-ified individual, the need fo r him to pe rform the review is approved and documented in advance by the supervisor's manage-mont, and QA audits monitor the frequency of the supervisor's review to guard against abuse.

with new regulatory requirements. Design changes are defined to mean 1) planned changes in the basic plant design which modify the plant responso, general design criteria, and speci-fication requirements; 2) the substitution of equivalent hardware or the substitution of nonsafety-related parts or components into safety-related components or systems; and
- 3) any noneditorial change to a design document. Changos in the WCGS basic design shall be aimed at improving safety, performance, maintainability, reliability, or inspectability.
An engineering evaluation assures that those changes are con-sistent with the performance requirements specified in existing design documents. Design changes are reviewed by cognizant organization through the plant modification request process.
Procedures shall specify requirements for the review and approval of design changes by the organizations that performed the original design, if appropriate. Design activitics may be delegated to others provided they have access to background and technical information . Design changes shall be commun- ,,
icated to appropriate plant personnel when such changes >
may affect the performance of their duties.
17.2.3.8 Design Review Committees Independent 6f the responsibilities of the design organiza-tion, the requirements of the Plant Safety RovioW Committee (PSRC) and the Nurlear. Safety Review Committee (NSRC) as specified in. the Administrative Controls Section of the Technical Specifications, shall be satisfied. Design changes which involve a modification or a creation of basic design critoria require a safety evaluation- and review, and con-currence by the PSRC. Design changes which involve the sub-stitution of hardware require a safety evaluation by the PSRC and approval by the Plant Manager; however, those changes which involve an unroviewed safety question or chango in Technical Specifications also require a review and concurrence by the NSRC. When design is performed by an outside organiza-tion, the Manager Nuclear Plant Engineering shall perform or coordinate - a review for operability, maintainability, '
inspectability, SAR commitment compatability, and design requirements imposed by plant equipment. In addition, the !!anager Nuclear Plant Engineering shall identify and control design interfaces and coordinate the design process
, between internal divisions and the outside organization (s).

Surveillance in this sense involves a physical presence to monitor, by observation, designated activities for the purpose of evaluating supplier performance and product acceptance.
Organizations participating in the procurement process shall prepare procedures. These documented procedures assure con-formance to the procurement document requirements. Procedures also identify organizational responsibilities; specify the characteristics or processes to be witnessed, inspected or verified, and accepted; the method of surveillance; and the documentation required. These procedures are reviewed and approved by the quality assurance organization. These pro-cedures shall include provisions for the following, as appli-cable:
- 1. Identifying supplier planning techniques;
- 2. Controlling documents generated or processed during activities fulfilling procurement re-quirements;
- 3. Identifying and processing change information;
- 4. Establishing a method of control and documenta-tion of information exchange with
- the supplier; and
- 5. Auditing or surveillance of supplier activities.
The originating organization shall est..blish measures for monitoring supplier-generate 3 document submittals against procurement document requirements.
