authorized by NRC Operating License NPF-42 for the Wolf Creek Generating  ;

Station, and tc the discussion of our findings with Mr. G. D. Boyer and other  ;

members of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection.

Areas examined during the inspection included licensed operator initial  !

training and requalification programs, and the nonlicensed staff training  !

program. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of selective examination l

of procedures and representative records, interviews with personnel, and 4

observations by the NRC inspectors. The inspection findings are documented in

the enclosed inspection report.

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

potential violation of NRC requirements. However, since the potential

violation is related to training, it is not cited herein as a violation but is

considered to be an unresolved item in accordance with the Commission Policy i

Statement on Training and Qualification of Nuclear Power Plant '

Personnel (50 FR 11147). No response is required; however, your attention to

the unresolved item that has the potential of becoming a violation in the l

future is warranted. The unresolved item is identified in paragraph 3 of the 1

enclosed inspection report.

In addition, it das aetermined during this inspection that a licensed

individual that failed the annual requalification examination was not removed l

from licensed duties and placed in your accelerated requalification program in j

a timely manner. Although not specifically stated in 10 CFR Part SS, the NRC's (

' position is that an individual must be removed from licensed duties immediately l

after performance evaluations performed in accordance with your NRC-approved

l requalification program clearly indicate the need. Your immediate attention to

l this item is warranted.
