SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-482/98-20  :

!

Dear Mr. Maynard:

From November 15 to December 26,1998, a resident routine inspection was conducted at your [

Wolf Creek Generating Station reactor facility. The enclosed report presents the scope and

results of that inspection.

l

During the 6-week period covered by this inspection, your conduct at Wolf Creek was generally  !

characterized by safety-conscious operations and sound maintenance activities. Most notable

was the operations and maintenance departments' response to an inoperable rod control  ;

system. j

i

in accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its I

enclosure will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.

i'

Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, we will be pleased to discuss them

with you. l

f

Sincerely,

/ /LJnk  ;
