Dear Mr. Muench:

On August 3, 2007, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a securitybaseline inspection at your Wolf Creek Generating Station. The inspection covered one or more of the key attributes of the security cornerstone of the NRC's Reactor Oversight Process.

The enclosed inspection report documents the inspection results, which were discussed on August 3, 2007, with S. Hedges, Vice President of Operations & Plant Manager, and other members of your staff.The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to security andcompliance with the Commission's rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license.

The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel. This report documents one finding of very low security significance (i.e. Green as determined bythe Physical Protection Significance Determination Process). The deficiency was promptly corrected or compensated for, and the plant was in compliance with applicable physical protection and security requirements within the scope of this inspection before the inspectors left the site. NRC is treating this violation as a noncited violation consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRCEnforcement Policy because of the very low security significance of the violation and because it was entered into your corrective action program. If you contest this non-cited violation, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation-2 your denial, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN.: Document Control Desk,Washington DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator Region IV; the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Wolf Creek Generating Station facility.The finding was NRC identified.
