P.O. Box 411 Burlington, KS 66839
SUBJECT:
WOLF CREEK - NOTIFICATION OF POST-APPROVAL SITE INSPECTION FOR LICENSE RENEWAL AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (05000482/2025010)
Dear Cleve Reasoner:
During the weeks of January 20 and February 3, 2025, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin a Post-Approval License Renewal Phase 2 Site Inspection, Phase 2, for License Renewal for your facility. Five inspectors will perform this two-week inspection in accordance with the NRC Inspection Procedure 71003. This inspection focuses on activities associated with license renewal: implementation of aging management programs, regulatory commitments, as well as any tests or inspections of structures, systems, or components.
To minimize the inspection impact on the site and to ensure a productive inspection for both parties, we have enclosed a request for information needed for the inspection. It is important that all these documents are up to date and complete to minimize the number of additional documents requested during the preparation and/or the on-site portions of the inspection.
Please provide this information electronically to the lead inspector. The information request has two groups:
The first group lists information necessary for our initial inspection scoping and in-office preparation activities. During the in-office preparation activities, the team will identify as much as possible the information and activities to be reviewed during the inspection.
This information should be provided to the lead inspector by January 13, 2025.
The second group includes additional information required for the team to review the selected activities. This information should be available to the team on January 20, 2025. It is also requested that corrective action documents and/or questions developed during the inspection be provided to the lead inspector as the documents are generated.
C. Reasoner 2
The schedule for the inspection is as follows:
Offsite Preparation Week: January 13 - 17, 2025 Onsite Inspection Weeks: January 20 - 24 & February 3 - 7, 2025 PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT STATEMENT This letter contains mandatory information collections that are subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

Send comments regarding this information collection to the Information Services Branch, Office of the Chief Information Officer, Mail Stop: T6 A10M, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, or by e-mail to Infocollects.Resource@nrc.gov, and to the Desk Officer, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, NEOB-10202, (3150-0011) Office of Management and Budget, Washington, DC 20503.

January 20 - 24, 2025; and February 3 - August 7, 2025 Inspection Procedure:
IP 71003 Post-Approval Site Inspection for License Renewal Phase 2 The documents and information requested below should generally be made available to the inspection team for the team's use both on-site and off-site. Electronic format is the preferred media, preferably in a searchable format. Electronic media should contain descriptive names and be indexed and hyperlinked to facilitate ease of use. Information in lists should contain enough information to be easily understood by someone who has knowledge of light water reactor technology. If electronic media is made available via an internet based remote document management system, then the remote document access must allow inspectors to download, save, and print the documents in the NRC's office. Electronic media on compact disc or paper records (hard copy) are acceptable. At the end of the inspection, the documents in the team's possession will not be retained.
This document request is based on typical documents that a generic plant might have. As such, this document request is not meant to imply that any specific plant is required to have all of the listed documents. In addition, your plant specific document titles may vary from the document titles listed below. We also request that the information provided be sorted by the list below.
As discussed in our November teleconference in preparation for this inspection, the station has Aging Management (AMP) Notebooks as a matter of course, and are being updated. Note that the following AMPs and associated commitments were closed in a prior NRC inspection, and that information need not be provided: Buried Piping and Tanks Inspections, Flux Thimble Tube Inspection, Electrical Cables and Connections Used in Instrument Circuits, and Electrical Connections Not Subject to 10 CFR 50.49 Environmental Qualification Requirements.
