Attachment I to CO 04-0003 Page 2 of 2 Safety Evaluation Pronossi._ Change This amendment request proposes to revise Technical Specification Section 6.2.2.g, 6.3.1.b, and 6.12.1.c to reflect title changes in the Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation (WCNOC) organization.
l EyAluation The title of - mervisor Operations in Technical Specification 6.2.2.g is being l changed to Lgm intendent operations. This title change is administrative in I nature and does not represent any change in reporting relationships, job responsibilities, or overall organizational commitments.
Regulation 10 CFR 50.54 (1) states:
"The licensee shall designate individuals to be responsible for directing the .icensed activities of licensed operators. These individuals shall be licensed as senior operators pursuant to part 55 of this chapter."
This regulation implies that the Shift Supervisors are required to report to an individual licensed as a senior reactor operator (SRO). At WCNOC, the Shift Supervisors report to the Supervisor Operations who holds a SRO license.
The Shift Supervisors will continue to report to the Superintendent operations.
The title of Radiation Protection Manager in Technical Specification 6.3.1.b is being changed to Superintendent Radiation Protection and language has been added to assure the qualifications for this position continue to meet or
, exceed the requirements for Radiation Protection Manager as described in l
Regulatory Mide 1.8. The title of Manager Radiation Protection in Technical Specification 6.12.1.c is being changed to Superintendent Radiation Protection. The titles of Radiation Protection Manager and Manager Radiation Protection are identical in duties and responsibilities and are the same position. This title change incorporates both titles into the title of Superintendent Radiation Fnotection. This title change is administrative in nature and does not reprasent any change in reporting relationships, job responnibilities, or overall organizational changes.
Based on the above discussions and the considerations presented in Attachment II, the proposed change does not increase the probability of occurrence or the consequences of an accident or malfunction of a different type than any previously evaluated in the safety analysis report; or reduce the margin of safety as defined in any technical specification. Therefore the proposed change does not adversely affect or endanger the health or safety of the general public or involve a significant safety hazard, 1

i Attachment II to CO 94-0003 Page 2 of 2 No Significant Hazards Consideration Determination The proposed change would revise Technical Specification 6.2.2.g, 6.3.1.b, and 6.12.1.c to reflect title designation changes in the Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation (WCNOC) organization.
Standard I - Involves a Significant Increase in the Probability or Consequences of an Accident Previously Evaluated The proposed changes do not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated. These changes involve administrative changes to the WCNOC organization and to the position titles and as such have no effect on plant equipment or the technical qualification of plant personnel.
Standard II - Create the Possibility of a new or Dif ferent Kind of Accident from any Previously Evaluated.
The proposed change does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated. This change is administrative in nature and does not involve any change to the installed plant systems or the overall operating philosophy of Wolf Creek Generating Station.
Standard III - Involve a Significant Reduction in the Margin of Safety The proposed change does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety. This change does not involve any changes in overall organizational commitments. A position title change alone does not reduce the margin of safety.
Based on the above discussions it has been determined that the requested technical specification revision does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident or other adverse condition over previous evaluations; or involve a significant reduction in the margin of safety.

Attachment III to CO 94-0003 i Page 2 of 2 l Environmental Impact Determination 10 CFR 51.22 (b) specifies the criteria for categorical exclusions from the requirements for a specific environmental assessment per 10 CFR 51.22 (c) (9).
The specific criteria contained in this section are discussed below.
(i) the amendment involves no significant hazards consideration As demonstrated in the No Significant Hazards Consideration Determination in Attachment II, the requested license amendment does not involve any significant hazards consideration.
(ii) there is no significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluents that may be released offsite The requested license amendment involves no change to the facility and does not involve any change in the manner of operation of any plant systems involving the generation, collection or processing of radioactive materials or other types of effluents. Therefore, no increase in the amounts of effluents or new types of effluents would be created.
(iii) there is no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure The requested license amendment involves no change to the facility and does not involve any change in the manner of operation of any plant systems involving the generation, collection or processing of radioactive materials or other types of effluents. Furthermore, implementation of this proposed change j will not involve work activities which could contribute to occupational radiation exposure. Therefore, there will be no increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure associated with this proposed change.
Based on the above discussion it is concluded that there will be no impact on the environment resulting from this change. The change meets the criteria specified in 10 CFR 51.22 for a categorical exclusion from the requirements of 10 CFR 51.21 relative to specific environmental assessment by the Commission.
