Dear Mr. Johnson:

On February 18, 1983, Kansas Gas and Electric Company (KG&E) reported a potential 10CFR50.55(e) matter concerning material supplied to the Wolf Creek Generating Station by the Ray Miller Corporation. Additional information was subsequently provided in the References.

The specific problems associated with material supplied by the Ray Miller Corporation were identified in I&E Information Notice 83-01 and Bulletin 83-07. As a result of these notifications a review was conducted of SNUPPS procurement records from January 1,1974 through December 31, 1979.

The results of this investigation were described in Reference 3) . Con-current with the generic (Wolf Creek and Callaway) SNUPPS effort, a review of site specific procurements or Wolf Creek Generating Station was also conducted by KG&E. This investigation addressed the same time period as the SNUPPS review. During the review of site specific procure-ment documentation, KG&E determined that some fittings had been ordered from Ray Miller Corporation. However, all of the fittings identified were ordered on non-safety related purchase orders for non-safety related applications. The documentation review did not identify any site specific procurement of safety-related materials from Ray Miller. As documented in Reference 1), the review did identify five non-safety related flanges that were received with an approved safety related heat number. 'Ivo of the flanges had been installed and the other three were found in the non-t 8407090023 830628 -

-Mr..E.H. Johnson KMLNRC 84-100 June 28, 1984 safety related material storage area. Although there was no indication that the two flanges were used in a safety-related application, KG&E had

- independent destructive testing performed on the three flanges since the heat number is one method of identifying safety-related fittings. The results' attached indicate that the flanges met or exceeded safety-related material requirements.

I As a result of the aforementioned activities, KG&E has concluded that this matter is not reportable pursuant to 10CFR50.55(e) . Please contact me or Mr. Otto Maynard of my staff if you have any questions concerning this subject.

Yours very truly, Glenn L. Koester -
