ENGLOSURE 1
NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation Docket No.: 50-482
Wolf Creek Generating Station License No.: NPF-42
Dt ring an NRC inspection conducted on November 2 through December 13,1997, two
violations of NRC requirements we;e identified. In accordanrt the " General Statement of
Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG . w, the violations are listed
below:
A. Technical Spee fication 6.8.1.a requires, in part, that written procedures be established,
implemented, and maintained covering the applicable procedures recommended in
Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978.
Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978, Se: tion 2, recommends, in part, that
procedures be established for general plant operations.
General Operating Procedure GEN 00-008, * Reduced icventory Operations.' Devision 5,
action 5.16.2, requires that personnel be stationed at affected containment hatches
a. v. Jole purpose is to close the hatch prior to the onset of core boiling in the event
t' at decay heat removalls lost, and that a means of communication be established
ootween the contro! room and th3 stationed personnel.
Contrary to the above, on November 13,1997, the inspectors noted that the containment
coordinator had been assigned the duty of closing the containment hatch while retaining
the balance of the containment coordinator duties, and control room personnel were not
able to contact the containment coordinator when requested by the inspectors.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I) (50-482/9722 01).
B. Cnterion V of Appendix B to 10 CFR f art 50 requires, in part, that activities affecting
quakty shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, and drawings
appropriate to the circumstances, and shall be accomplished in accordance with these
instructions, procedures, or dawings.
Procedure AP 20-002, * Post-Trip Review," Revision 0, Section 6.6.1, requires the shift
supervisor or appointed senior reactor operator to ensure that the event is properly
evaluated and analyzed. This review is to include a determination of whether all major
safety related and other important equipment invoived in the trip operated as anticipated
or expected.
Contrary to the above, on November 29,1997, the appointed senior reactor operator
signed the posttrip review package recommending restart, yet failed to identify the error
in the initial 10 CFR 60.72 report, which was part of the posttrip data package. The initial
report identified the cause of the start of both motor driven auxiliary feedwater pumps as

a low steam generator level below 23.5 percent, yet the steam generator levels did not
approach or decline below the low level cetpoint.
This is i Severity Level IV violation (Supplement 1) (50-482/9722-02).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation is
hereby requi"sd to submit a written statement or exclaqation to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, D.C. 20555, with a copy to the
Regional Administrator, Region IV,611 Ryan Plaza Drive, Suite 400, Arlington. Texas 76011,
and a copy to the NRC Resident Irispectors at the facility that is the subject oM s Notice, within
30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice of Violation (Notice). This rep!y should
be clearly marked as a " Reply to a Notice of Violation" and should include for each violation: (1)
the reason for the violation, c' # contested, the bash for disputing the violation, (2) the
corrective steps that have been taken and the results achieved, (3) the corrective steps that will
be taken to avoid further violations, and (4) the date when full compliance w;il be achieved. Your
response may reference or include previous docketed correspondence, if the correspondence
adequately addresses the required response, if an adequate reply is not received within the
time specified in this Notice, an order or a Demand for Information may be issued as to why the
license should not be modified, suspended, or revoked, or why such other action as may be
proper should not be taken. Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to
extending the response time.
Because your response will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR), to the extent
possible, it should not include any personal privacy, proprietary, or safeguards information so
that it can be placed in the POR without redaction. However, if you find it necessary to include
such information, you should clearly indicato the specific information that you desire not to be
placed in the PDR, and provide the legal basis to support your request for withholding the
information from the public.
