SUBJECT:

ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER FOR CALVERT CLIFFS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 (REPORTS 05000317/2023006 AND 05000318/2023006)

Dear David Rhoades:

The U.S Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has completed its end-of-cycle performance assessment of Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant (Calvert Cliffs), Units 1 and 2, reviewing performance indicators (PIs), inspection results, and enforcement actions from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. This letter informs you of the NRCs assessment of your facility during this period and its plans for future inspections at your facility. The NRC concluded that overall performance at your facility preserved public health and safety. The baseline inspection program was completed at your facility as defined in Inspection Manual Chapter 2515, Light-Water Reactor Inspection Program - Operations Phase.

The NRC determined the performance at Calvert Cliffs Unit 2 during the most recent quarter was within the Licensee Response Column (Column 1) of the NRCs Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) Action Matrix in Inspection Manual Chapter 0305, Operating Reactor Assessment Program, because all inspection findings had very low safety significance (i.e., Green), and all PIs were within the expected range (i.e., Green). Therefore, the NRC plans to conduct ROP baseline inspections at Calvert Cliffs Unit 2.

The NRC determined the performance at Calvert Cliffs Unit 1 during the most recent quarter was within the Regulatory Response Column (Column 2) of the NRCs Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) Action Matrix in Inspection Manual Chapter 0305, Operating Assessment Program. This conclusion was based on a single inspection finding having low-to-moderate safety significance (i.e., White) in the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone originating in the third quarter of 2023, and all PIs within the expected range (i.e., Green).

Therefore, in addition to ROP baseline inspections, the NRC plans to conduct a supplemental inspection in accordance with Inspection Procedure 95001, Supplemental Inspection Response to Action Matrix Column 2 (Regulatory Response) Inputs. This inspection procedure is conducted to provide assurance that the root and contributing causes of risk significant performance issues are understood, the extent of condition and the extent of cause are identified, and the corrective actions are prompt and sufficient to prevent recurrence. On February 9, 2024, the NRC was notified of your readiness for the supplemental inspection to review the actions taken to address the performance issues. Therefore, the NRC plans to conduct a supplemental inspection in accordance with Inspection Procedure 95001, Supplemental Inspection Response to Action Matrix Column 2 (Regulatory Response) Inputs, scheduled to start on March 18, 2024.

The enclosed inspection plan lists the inspections scheduled through December 31, 2025.

The NRC provides the inspection plan to allow for the resolution of any scheduling conflicts and personnel availability issues. Routine inspections performed by resident inspectors are not included in the inspection plan. The inspections listed during the last twelve months of the inspection plan are tentative and may be revised. The NRC will contact you as soon as possible to discuss changes to the inspection plan should circumstances warrant any changes.

In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390 of the NRCs Rules 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 NRC's document 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 Brice Bickett at (610) 337-5312 with any questions you have regarding this letter.

Sincerely, Blake D. Welling, Director Division of Operating Reactor Safety
