NRC CONDUCTING SPECIAL INSPECTION AT WOLF CREEK NUCLEAR PLANT

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission is conducting a special inspection at the Wolf Creek nuclear plant in response to problems discovered in a safety system that provides cooling water for the reactor during an emergency. The plant, located near Burlington, Kan., is operated by the Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corp. NOTE FROM A4NR: Wolf Creek, like Palo Verde are both under special inspection and are both STARS plants. The STARS consortium are working together on license renewals for their nuke plants and all are in Reg IV. This is disconcerting as Texas where a new nuke is proposed and license renewals have been filed and Diablo Canyon are members of the STARS team as well.
