SUBJECT:

WOLF CREEK NUCLEAR OPERATING CORPORATION'S PROPOSED i

EMERGENCY PLAN REVISION FOR THE WOLF CREEK GENERATING STATION (TAC NO. MA3656).

l

Dear Mr. Maynard:

By letter dated August 6,1997, as supplemented by letters dated January 27 and March 19, L 1998, Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation (WCNOC) submitted proposed changes to the Wolf Creek Generating Station Radiological Emergency Response Plan (RERP). By letter

. dated September 18,1998, WCNOC proposed changes to the RERP that replaced the l previous submittals in their entirety. The changes in the September 18,1998, submittal were evaluated by WCNOC under 10 CFR 50.54(q) and WCNOC determined that the changes required prior NRC approval. Specifically, WCNOC requested approval to change the

, activation time for the Technical Support Center (TSC) during off-hours to 75 minutes; change l the specific positions required to activate the TSC; eliminate the Emergency Planner position at l the TSC; and change exercise frequencies to reflect revisions to the regulations.

The NRC staff has completed its review of the proposed changes and supporting documentation that WCNOC Identified as needing NRC approval and has determined that the proposed changes are acceptable. The bases for our conclusions are summarized in the enclosed safety evaluation.

If you have any questions conceming the above, please contact me at (301) 415-1362.

Sincerely,
