This refers to the inspection conducted by Mr. B. L. Bartlett of this office

License No. NPF-42 for the Wolf Creek Generating Station, and to the discussion

of our findings with Mr. F. T. Rhodes and other members of your staff at the

conclusion of the inspection.

Areas examined during the inspection included followup on a previously

identified NRC item, operational safety verification, engineered safety

features system walkdown, onsite followup of events, monthly surveillance

observation, monthly maintenance observation, and plant tours. Within these

areas, the inspection consisted of selective examination of procedures and

representative records, interviews with personnel, and observations by the

inspector. The inspection findings are documented in the enclosed inspection

report.

During this inspection, it was found that certain of your activities were in

violation of NRC requirements. Consequently, you are required to respond to

these violations, in writing, in accordance with the provisions of

Federal Regulations. Your response should be based on the specifics contained

in the Notice of Violation enclosed with this letter.

Your response regarding violation B should also address the reasons why the

inadequate fire barriers were not recognized by management and corrective

actions taken in a timely manner. Additionally, your response to violaticn C

inservice inspection programs include adequate programatic controls to ensure

the analyzed requirements will be met.

We have also examined actions you have taken with regard to a previously

identified NRC item concerning NRC General Letter 83-28. The status of this

item is identified in paragraph 2 of the enclosed report.
