The inspection covered a key attribute of the Security Cornerstone of the NRC's Reactor Oversight Process, Material Control and Accounting of Special Nuclear Material (MC&A-SNM).

The deficiency was promptly corrected in the plant in order to restore compliance with applicable MC&A-SNM requirements before the inspectors left the site, and this matter was entered into the corrective action program to revise MC&A-SNM procedures to comply with NRC requirements.

In addition, this violation had a cross-cutting aspect in the area Human Performance associated with decision making and conservative assumptions. Wolf Creek Generating Station, Unit 1, did not verify the validity of the underlying assumptions when they implemented procedures that were contrary to NRC requirements without obtaining a written exception to NRC regulations (H.1.b). However, because this violation was of very low safety significance and was entered
