SUBJECT: WOLF CREEK GENERATING STATION - NOTIFICATION OF NRC

EVALUATIONS OF CHANGES, TESTS AND EXPERIMENTS INSPECTION

(05000482/2022002) AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

Dear Mr. Reasoner:

The purpose of this letter is to notify you that U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff

will conduct the baseline inspection of changes, tests and experiments at your Wolf Creek

Generating Station from April 11 - 15, 2022. The inspection will consist of three reactor

inspectors from the NRCs Region IV office for one week. The inspection will be conducted in

accordance with NRC Inspection Procedure 71111.17T, Evaluations of Changes, Tests and

Experiments, dated December 8, 2016.

Experience has shown that this inspection is resource intensive for both the NRC inspectors

and your staff. To minimize the impact to your onsite resources and to ensure a productive

inspection, we have enclosed a request for information needed for this inspection. Please note

that the documents are requested to be provided by March 28, 2022. Upon review of these

documents, the inspectors will select additional documentation for review upon arrival. It is

important that all documents are up-to-date and complete in order to minimize the number of

additional documents requested during the preparation and/or the onsite portions of the

inspection.

We have discussed the schedule for these inspection activities with your staff and understand

that our regulatory contact for this inspection will be Jason Knust of your Licensing organization.

If there are any questions about this inspection or the material requested, please contact the

lead inspector, Fabian Thomas, by telephone at 817-200-1126 or by e-mail at

Fabian.Thomas@nrc.gov.

screenings, and evaluations and any other 10 CFR 50.59 program-related documents.

These documents, for example, may include procedures for implementation of alternate

processes or screening criteria such as for replacement part evaluations, design

equivalent changes, long-term configuration control, etc.

2. A list with descriptions of all 10 CFR 50.59 applicability determinations of fully

implemented changes, tests and experiments performed since the last triennial 10 CFR

50.59 inspection that did not result in a screening.

3. A list with descriptions of all 10 CFR 50.59 screenings of fully implemented changes,

tests and experiments performed since the last triennial 10 CFR 50.59 inspection that

did not result in an evaluation.
