August 30, 2019 Adam C. Heflin, President and Chief Executive Officer Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation P.O. Box 411 Burlington, KS 66839 SUBJECT: UPDATED INSPECTION PLAN FOR WOLF CREEK GENERATING STATION , REPORT 05000482/201900

Dear Mr. Heflin:

The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through June 30 , 20 21 , for the Wolf Creek Generating Station. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (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. You should be aware that the agency is pursuing potential changes to the Reactor Oversight Process (ROP), including changes to engineering inspections (SECY-18-0113, "Recommendations for Modifying the Reactor Oversight Process Engineering Inspections"), and other changes to the baseline inspection program described in SECY-19-0067, "Recommendations for Enhancing the Reactor Oversight Process

." Should these changes to the ROP be implemented, the engineering and other region-based inspections are subject to change in scope, as well as schedule, beginning in January 2020. The inspections listed during the last 12 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.

On December 17, 2018, the NRC issued a Severity Level II Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty associated with a violation of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 50.7, "Employee Protection,"

for actions Wolf Creek Generating Station took in response to a contract employee raising nuclear safety concerns (ADAMS Accession No. ML18333A043).

On January 15, 2019, Wolf Creek Generating Station notified the NRC of its acceptance of the violation (ADAMS Accession No.

ML19024A206).

Therefore, the NRC plans to conduct Inspection Procedur e 92722, "Follow Up Inspection For Any Severity Level I or II Traditional Enforcement Violation or For Two or More Severity Level III Traditional Enforc ement Violations in a 12 Month Period," to follow-up on this violation.

The NRC notified you in the 201 7 annual assessment letter (ADAMS Accession No. ML19024A206

) of a cross-cutting theme related to the inconsistent implementation of Safety-Conscious Work Environment (SCWE) Policy (S.1). The NRC conducted several inspections to assess the corrective actions taken to address this theme (Inspection Reports 05000482/2018007 (ADAMS Accession No.

ML18218A265), 05000482/2018004 (ADAMS Accession No.

ML19042A089)

and 05000482/2019002 (ADAMS Accession No. ML19225D316)

). Based on these inspections and review of your actions taken and planned, as well as the issuance of the aforementioned violation of 10 CFR 50.7, the NRC determined that a theme in the SCWE area continues to exist.

The NRC plans to conduct Inspection Procedure 93100, "Safety-Conscious Work Environment Issue of Concern Follow-up," concurrent with Inspection Procedure 92722 to assess your progress in addressing the open SCWE theme at Wolf Creek.

These inspections will be scheduled after you provide written notification to the NRC of your readiness for the inspection, although an estimated date was used in the attached inspection plan as a place holder.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Agency Rules of Practice and Procedure," 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 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 me at (817) 200-1141 with any questions you have regarding this letter.

Sincerely,

/RA/ Neil F. O'Keefe, Chief Project Branch B Division of Reactor Projects Docket No. 50-482 License No
