KG&E seeks early work OK for Wolf Creek plant near Burlington
KG&E and KCP&L filed with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to begin preliminary construction at the Wolf Creek Generating Station site in Coffey County near Burlington. The request covers site clearing, access roads, foundations, utilities, pipelines, and a 12 mile rail spur, estimated at 22.7 million dollars. The NRC may grant exemptions to a current moratorium on nuclear work while waste reprocessing rules are refined, as the utilities aim to avoid 1982 completion delays.
