SUBJECT:
ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR WOLF CREEK GENERATI NG STATION (REPORT 05000 482/20 17 00 6)
Dear Mr. Heflin:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
has completed its end-of-cycle performance assessment of Wolf Creek Generating Station, reviewing performance indicators (PIs)
, inspection results
, and enforcement actions from January 1, 2017 , through December 31, 2017. This letter informs you of the NRC's assessment of your facility during this period and its plans for future inspections at your facility. The NRC concluded that overall performance at your facility preserved public health and safety.
The NRC determined the performance of Wolf Creek Generating Station during the most recent quarter was within the Regulatory Response Column, the second highest performance column of the NRC
's Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) Action Matrix
. This conclusion was based on one or more Greater-than-Green inspection findings (or PIs) in the Security cornerstone originating in the last quarter of 20 17. Wolf Creek Generating Station moved to the Regulatory Response Column on December 20, 2017.
Therefore, in addition to ROP baseline inspections, the NRC plans to conduct a supplemental inspection in accordance with Inspection Procedure 9500 1 , "Supplemental Inspection Response to Action Matrix Column 2 Inputs.
" The objective of this supplemental inspection will be to (1) assure that the root causes and contributing causes of significant performance issues are understood; (2) independently assess and assure that the extent of condition and extent of cause of significant performance issues are identified; (3) assure that corrective actions taken to address and preclude repetition of significant performance issues are prompt and effective; and (4) assure that corrective plans direct prompt actions to effectively address and preclude repetition of significant performance issues.
This inspection will be scheduled after you notify the NRC of your readiness.
The NRC identified a cross-cutting theme in the safety conscious work environment (SCWE) area. Specifically, the NRC identified a finding with a documented cross-cutting aspect related to the inconsistent implementation of SCWE policy (S.1) that was not isolated, as discussed in NRC Inspection Report 05000482/2017004 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) ML18043A114), dated February 12, 2018. The NRC determined that the impact on SCWE was not isolated because of concerns raised in other work groups, including the security department and maintenance support group, as discussed in NRC Inspection Report 05000482/2016009 (ADAMS ML16222A733), dated August 9, 2016 , and NRC Inspection Report 05000482/2017003 (ADAMS ML17311B223), dated November 7, 2017
, respectively. The NRC will continue to monitor your staff's effort and progress in determining the cause and implementing corrective actions for th is theme. The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through December 31
, 20 19. This updated inspection plan now includes planned security inspections
, which were formerly transmitted under separate correspondence.
The NRC provides the inspection plan to allow for the resolution of any scheduling conflicts and personnel availability issues. Routine inspections performed by resident inspectors are not included in the inspection plan. The inspections listed during the last twelve months of the inspection plan are tentative and may be revised.
The NRC will contact you as soon as possible to discuss changes to the inspection plan should circumstances warrant any changes.
In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390 of the NRC
's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of the NRC's document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
Please contact Nicholas Taylor at (817) 200-1141 with any questions you have regarding this letter.
