Gentlemen:

This refers to the Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance (SALP) Board

Report of Wolf Creek Generating Station. The SALP Board met on April 14, 1987,

to evaluate the performance of the subject facility for the period February 1,

1986, through February 28, 1987. The performance analyses and resulting

evaluations are documented in the enclosed SALP Board Report.

The performance of your facility was evaluated in the selected functional areas

identified in Section IV of the enclosed SALP Board Report. Overall, we find

that your performance was at a high level during this assessment period.

Particular strength was noted in the areas of Maintenance, Licensing Activities,

and Training and Qualification Effectiveness. Improvements were noted in the

areas of Plant Operations, Radiological Controls, and Security. A decline was

noted in the areas of Surveillance and Quality Programs and Administrative

Controls Affecting Quality. However, your Quality Assurance organization was

found to be exceptionally strong. In the two areas of decline, increased

management attention should be applied to allow you to regain previous

performance levels.

Unless you specifically request it, a management meeting will not be scheduled

for this reporting period. Any request for a management meeting should be made,

in writing, within 10 days of receipt of this report.

Comments which you may submit are not subject to the clearance procedure of the

Office of Management and Budget as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of

1980, PL 96-511.

Should you have any questions concerning this letter, we will be glad to discuss

them with you.

Sincerely,
