May 2007 Calvert Cliffs: Safe and Secure by Design Almost 30 years ago, Constellation Energy - then Baltimore Gas & Electric - began a tradition of excellence at Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant. Year after year, Constellation Energy has continued that tradition, earning national recognition by the Institute for Nuclear Power Operations for maintaining operational excellence at Calvert Cliffs. In doing so, Constellation Energy continues to prove that high levels of safety, reliability and efficiency go hand in hand.

comprehensive safety and health management system and demonstrated safety performance above industry average.

Operating safely begins with a safe design Being honored among industrial and nuclear facilities comes from Calvert Cliffs design and Constellation Energys commitment to operating securely and safely. The team continually maintains and improves the plants redundant safety systems based on the best practices in the energy industry.

The plants redundant safety systems protect nuclear fuel.

While in use, nuclear fuel is protected by a ceramic case, called a pellet. Pellets sit in fuel rods and are contained in a building with thick concrete walls. Once spent, fuel is stored under cool water within a concrete structure for a decade. In 2006, the Department of Homeland Security announced Radioactivity drops significantly during this decade. Then the the nuclear portion of its National Infrastructure Protection spent fuel moves to a secure concrete structure on site awaiting Plan (NIPP) at Calvert Cliffs. The site served as a pilot plant a national spent-fuel storage site to open at Yucca Mountain, for this program and provided the foundation for the ongoing Nevada. At Yucca, the spent fuel will remain secure as it loses development of the nuclear sectors portion of the NIPP.

The Institute of Nuclear Power Operations accredits training programs.

Training bolsters a safety-conscious culture Every year these partners conduct intense emergency Constellation Energys Calvert Cliffs team has been recognized management training drills. Every two years the NRC grades as an industry leader in training. For every employee, training these exercises, and every six years the graded drill includes begins on the first day at work and never ends. agencies within a 50-mile radius of Calvert Cliffs.
