Dear Mr. Stello:

The Federal Emergency Management Agency- (FEMA) has completed an analysis of the prompt alert and notification system for the Wolf Creek Generating Station located in Burlington, Kansas. This review has been campleted pur-suant to FD4A Rule 44 CFR 350; selected evaluative criteria and Appendix 3 in NUREG-0654gEMA-REP-1, Revision 1; and FEMA-43, the " Standard Guide for the Evaluation of Alert and Notification Systems for Nuclear Power Plants" d (now published as FEMA-REP-10). The enclosed report, entitled " Wolf Creek j Generating Station Site-Specific Offsite Radiological Emergency Preparedness Alert and Notification System Quality Assurance Verification" summarizes the engineering design review; incorporates the results of the telephone survey

.of the public conducted immediately following the full activation of the alert and notification system on May 21, 1985; and confirms the adequacy of the applicable evaluative criteria fran NUREG-0654NDIA-REP-1, Revision 1, and FEMA-43.

Based on the engineerirg design reviw and the results of the public telephone survey, FEMA has determined that the alert and notification system installed y

arcund the Wolf Creek Generatirg Station, satisfies the requirements of NUREG--

0654/ FEMA-REP-1, Revision 1, and FEMA-43. Therefore, there is now reasonable assurance that the system is adequate to pranptly alert and notify the public in the event of a radiological emergency at the site. The review of the off-site plans and preparedness for the Wolf Creek Generating St ation pursuant to FEMA Rule 44 CFR 350 will be completed by FEMA at a later date.

Notwithstanding this approval, FEMA recomends that the State of Kansas, Coffey i County, and the Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation consider increasing the frequency of the full-cycle tests of the Wolf Creek alert and notification system to once a month. FEMA believes that additional full-cycle tests, at a monthly frequency, would provide an added degree of assurance of the continued readiness and operability of the Wolf Creek alert and notification system.
