[Docket No. 50-482]
Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation; Notice of Issuance of
Amendment to Facility Operating License
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (Commission) has issued
Amendment No. 122 to Facility Operating License No. NPF-42 issued to
the Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation (WCNOC or the licensee),
which revised the technical specifications for operation of the Wolf
Creek Generating Station (WCGS) located in Coffey County, Kansas.
The amendment is effective as of the date of issuance.
The amendment revises Technical Specification (TS) 4.7.3b., ``Plant
Systems--Component Cooling Water System--Surveillance Requirements,''
by deleting the requirement to perform the specified surveillances
during shutdown.
The application for the amendment complies with the standards and
requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act),
and the Commission's rules and regulations. The Commission has made
appropriate findings as required by the Act and the Commission's rules
and regulations in 10 CFR Chapter I, which are set forth in the license
amendment.

petition for leave to intervene was filed following these notices.
The Commission has prepared an Environmental Assessment related to
the action and has determined not to prepare an environmental impact
statement. Based upon the environmental assessment, the Commission has
concluded that the issuance of this amendment will not have a
significant effect on the quality of the human environment.
