UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION I 2100 RENAISSANCE BOULEVARD, SUITE 100 KING OF PRUSSIA, PENNSYLVANIA 19406-2713 March 4, 2013 Mr. George H. Gellrich, Vice President Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, Inc. Constellation Generation Group, LLC 1650 Calvert Cliffs Parkway Lusby, Maryland 20657-4702
SUBJECT: ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR CALVERT CLIFFS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT UNITS 1 & 2 (REPORT 05000317/2012001 AND 05000318/2012001)
Dear Mr. Gellrich,
On February 15, 2013, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed its end-of-cycle performance review of Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant Units 1 & 2 (Calvert Cliffs). The NRC reviewed the most recent quarterly performance indicators, in addition to inspection results and enforcement actions, from January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012. This letter informs you of the NRC's assessment of your facility during this period and its plans for future inspections at your facility.
The NRC determined that overall, Calvert Cliffs operated in a manner that preserved public health and safety and met all cornerstone objectives. Calvert Cliffs was in the Regulatory Response Column of the NRC's Reactor Oversight Process Action Matrix until the third quarter 2012, due to one or more greater-than-green security cornerstone inputs as described in inspection report 05000317/2011403 and 05000318/2011403 dated July 27, 2011. The NRC determined the performance at Calvert Cliffs during the third quarter 2012 was within the Licensee Response Column because all inspection findings had very low (i.e., green) safety significance, all performance indicators demonstrated that your performance was within the nominal, expected range (i.e., Green), and a supplemental inspection was successfully completed for the greater-than-green inputs on December 15, 2011. Therefore, the NRC plans to conduct Reactor Oversight Process baseline inspections at your facility.
The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through June 30, 2014. Routine inspections performed by resident inspectors are not included in the inspection plan. The inspections listed during the last nine months of the inspection plan are tentative and may be revised at the mid-cycle performance review. In addition to baseline inspections, the NRC will perform Inspection Procedure (IP) 71003, "Post-Approval Site Inspection for License Renewal," and Temporary Instruction (TI) TI-182, "Review of the Implementation of the Industry Initiative to Control Degradation of Underground Piping and Tanks." The NRC provides the inspection plan to allow for the resolution of any scheduling conflicts and personnel availability issues. The NRC will contact you as soon as possible to discuss changes to the inspection plan should circumstances warrant any changes. This inspection plan does not include security-related inspections, which will be sent via separate, non-publicly available correspondence. In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 2.390 of the NRC=s ARules of Practice,@ a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of the NRC's Agencywide Document Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room). Please contact Daniel Schroeder at (610) 337-5262 with any questions you have regarding this letter.
Sincerely,/RA/ Darrell J. Roberts, Director Division of Reactor Projects Docket Nos.: 50-317, 50-318 License Nos.: DPR-53, DPR-54
