Wichita ? Federal regulators have removed the Wolf Creek nuclear power plant near Burlington from its increased oversight list.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission said Monday that the plant had passed a new inspection and has returned to a regular inspection schedule.

The NRC increased the oversight level for Wolf Creek in March because of concerns about safety system failures and unplanned plant shutdowns in 2010. It was one of three reactors placed on the third level of its heightened oversight.

NRC spokeswoman Lara Uselding says Wolf Creek will be returned to level one. The Wichita Eagle reports that she said the operators of the plant had taken corrected the issues that caused the action in March.
