APPENDIX B NOTICE OF DEVIATION Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation Docket: 50-482 Wolf Creek Generating Station License: NPF-42 Based on the results of an NRC inspection conducted on May 18-22, 1987, a deviation of your Updated Safety Analysis Report (USAR) was identified. The deviation involved the failure to implement the air monitoring program in the USAR. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1987), the deviation is listed below:

Failure to Implement a Continuous Airborne Monitoring Program The USAR for the Wolf Creek Generating Station, Section 12.3.4.2.2.2.9, portable monitors, and Section 12.5.2.1, health physics equipment and instrumentation, establish a commitment to use Continuous Airborne Radioactivity Monitors (CAMS) as a primary means of measuring and trending airborne radioactivity concentrations at five specific locations: the 1974-foot elevation in the auxiliary building, the 2000-foot elevation in the auxiliary building - north and south ends, the 1976-foot elevation in the radwaste building, and the 2047-foot elevation in the fuel building.

In deviation from the above, the NRC inspectors determined on May 20, 1987, that the licensee did not have operable CAMS available to measure and trend airborne radioactivity for the 2000 foot elevation in the auxiliary building, the 1976-foot elevation in the radwaste building, and the 2047-foot elevation in the fuel building. This is a repeat deviation previously identified in NRC Inspection Report 50-482/8542-01.

(482/8712-02)

Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation is hereby requested to submit to this office within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice, a written statement or explanation in reply, including for each deviation:

(1) the reason for the deviation if admitted, (2) the corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved, (3) the corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further deviations, and (4) the date when full compliance will be achieved. Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the response time.
