Calvert Cliffs Unit 1 Assessment Results (Jan 1 - Dec 31, 2004)

! Operated safely throughout the Assessment Period

! Licensee Response Column of the Action Matrix for all of 2004 (cornerstone objectives fully met)

! Inspection Findings

< 13 findings of very low saftey significance (Green)

< 7 of the 13 findings were common to both units

! NRC will conduct baseline inspections during the remainder of the cycle

Calvert Cliffs Unit 2 Assessment Results (Jan 1 - Dec 31, 2004)

! Operated safely throughout the Assessment Period

! Licensee Response column of the Action Matrix for the first quarter of 2004 (cornerstone objectives fully met)

! Regulatory Response column of the Action Matrix for the last three quarters of 2004(cornerstone objectives met with minimal reduction in safety margin)

! Inspection Findings

< 13 findings of very low safety significance (Green)

< 7 of the 13 findings were common to both units

< 1 finding of low to moderate safety significance (White)

! NRC will conduct baseline inspections during the remainder of the cycle

Unit 2 - Safety Significant Finding

! 1 finding of low to moderate safety significance (White)

< Relay failure causing steam dump valves to fail open following reactor trip

! In January of 2005, a supplemental inspection determined the root cause analysis complete and corrective actions appropriately identified

! The finding will no longer be considered in the assessment process after the first quarter of 2005
