SUBJECT:
CALVERT CLIFFS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, UNIT NOS. 1 AND 2 - REPLY TO RESPONSE TO ORDER FOR INTERIM SAFEGUARDS AND SECURITY COMPENSATORY MEASURES (TAC NOS. MB4108 AND MB4109)
Dear Mr. Cruse:
On February 25, 2002, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued an Order modifying the operating license for the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, Unit Nos. 1 and 2 (Calvert Cliffs) to require compliance with the specified interim safeguards and security compensatory measures. The interim compensatory measures (ICMs) were listed in to the Order. When issuing the Order, the Commission recognized that you have voluntarily and responsibly implemented additional security measures following the events of September 11, 2001, but, in light of the continuing generalized high-level threat environment, the Commission concluded that the security measures should be embodied in an Order, consistent with the established regulatory framework.
The Order required responses and actions within specified time frames.Section III.A of the Order required licensees to immediately start implementation of the requirements listed in to the Order and to complete implementation no later than August 31, 2002.
Section lll.B of the Order required licensees to notify the Commission, (1) if they are unable to comply with the requirements in Attachment 2 to the Order, (2) if compliance with the requirements is unnecessary, (3) if implementation of any of the requirements would cause the licensee to be in violation of the provisions of any Commission regulation of the facility license, or (4) if implementation of any of the requirements described in Attachment 2 would adversely impact safe operation of the facility.Section III.C.1 of the Order required licensees to submit to the Commission, within twenty (20) days of the date of the Order, a schedule for achieving compliance with each requirement described in Attachment 2 to the Order.Section IV of the Order noted that in accordance with 10 C.F.R. § 2.202, the licensee must submit an answer to the Order and may request a hearing on the Order, within 20 days of the date of the Order, and, where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the time to request a hearing.
You submitted a response to the Order for the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant in two letters dated March 15, 2002. You requested an extension of time until July 1, 2002, to respond to ICMs B.2.a(1), B.2.a(2) and until July 31, 2002, for ICM B.4.g. You also requested comparable extensions of time to file a request for hearing for these matters. In subsequent discussions with your staff, it was determined that a revised date of July 1, 2002, to respond to ICM B.4.g was feasible.
C. Cruse The NRC staff has reviewed your responses to each of the ICMs and finds that you have satisfied the twenty (20) day reporting requirements of the Order with the exception of ICMs B.2.a(1), B.2.a(2), B.4.g, B.1.b, and B.5.e. An extension of time is hereby granted until July 1, 2002, for your submission of the required response to ICMs B.2.a(1), B.2.a(2) and B.4.g. An extension of time is granted until July 1, 2002, for ICMs B.2.a(1), B.2.a(2) and B.4.g for your filing of a request for a hearing related to these ICMs.
We have previously discussed your response to ICMs B.1.b and B.5.e with your staff and have identified concerns that may be resolved if addressed in an additional submittal. Accordingly, we will continue our review of your response upon receipt of your supplemental response, which you have indicated will be provided by May 30, 2002, for ICM B.5.e and by June 15, 2002, for ICM B.1.b.
The NRC will determine the effectiveness of your implementation of the ICMs through on-site inspections. I would like to remind you that, pursuant to Section lll.C.2 of the Order, you are to report to the Commission, when you have achieved full compliance with the requirements described in Attachment 2 to the Order.
If you have any other questions on these issues, please contact Donna Skay at 301-415-1322.
Sincerely,
/RA/
