SUBJECT:

MID-CYCLE PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND INSPECTION PLAN - CALVERT CLIFFS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT

Dear Mr. Vanderheyden:

On August 4, 2004, the NRC completed its mid-cycle plant performance assessment of the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant. The mid-cycle review for Calvert Cliffs involved the participation of all technical divisions in evaluating performance for the first half of the calendar year 2004 assessment cycle. The process included a review of performance indicators (PIs) for the most recent quarter and the inspection results over the previous twelve months. The purpose of this letter is to inform you of our assessment of your safety performance during this period and our plans for future inspections at your facility so that you will have the opportunity to prepare for these inspections and inform us of any planned inspections that may conflict with your plant activities. This performance review and enclosed inspection plan do not include physical protection information. A separate letter designated and marked as "Proprietary Information in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390(d)(1)" will include the physical protection review and resultant inspection plan.

Plant performance for the most recent quarter was within the Licensee Response Column of the NRCs Action Matrix, based on all inspection findings being classified as having very low safety significance (Green) and all PIs indicating performance at a level requiring no additional NRC oversight (Green). Therefore, we plan to conduct only reactor oversight process (ROP) baseline inspections at your facility through March 31, 2006. However, the significance of a Unit 2 finding regarding a relay failure that caused the steam dump valves to fail open following a January 23, 2004, trip is still under review as part of the Significance Determination Process (NRC Inspection Report 2004-008).

The enclosed inspection plan details the inspections, less those related to physical protection, scheduled through March 31, 2006. The inspection plan is provided to minimize the resource impact on your staff and to allow for scheduling conflicts and personnel availability to be resolved in advance of inspector arrival onsite. Routine resident inspections are not listed due to their ongoing and continuous nature. The inspections in the last twelve months of the inspection plan are tentative and may be revised at the end-of-cycle review meeting.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRCs document system

Mr. George Vanderheyden 2 (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.govreading-rm/adams.html (Public Electronic Reading Room).

If circumstances arise which cause us to change the inspection plan, we will contact you to discuss the change as soon as possible. Please contact me at (610) 337-5186 with any questions you may have regarding this letter or the inspection plan.

Sincerely,

/RA/
