UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION I 475 ALLENDALE ROAD KING OF PRUSSIA, PENNSYLVANIA 19406-1415 March 2, 2006 Mr. James A. Spina, Vice President Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, Inc.
Constellation Generation Group, LLC 1650 Calvert Cliffs Parkway Lusby, Maryland 20657-4702
SUBJECT:
ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER - CALVERT CLIFFS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT (REPORT 05000317/2006001 AND 05000318/2006001)
Dear Mr. Spina:
On February 8, 2006, the NRC staff completed its performance review of Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant. Our technical staff reviewed performance indicators (PIs) for the most recent quarter and inspection results for the period from January 1 through December 31, 2005. 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.
This performance review and enclosed inspection plan do not include physical protection information. A separate letter designated and marked as Official Use Only - Security-Related Information will include the physical protection review and resultant inspection plan.
Overall, Calvert Cliffs Units 1 and 2 operated in a manner that preserved public health and safety and fully met all cornerstone objectives. 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 reactor oversight process (ROP) baseline inspections at your facility.
While plant performance at Unit 2 for the most recent quarter is within the Licensee Response column of the Action Matrix, there was an inspection finding that resulted in this unit being within the Regulatory Response column through the first quarter 2005. The finding was of low to moderate safety significance (White) in the Mitigating Systems cornerstone, and involved a relay failure that caused the steam dump valves to remain full open following a reactor trip in January 2004. An NRC Supplemental Inspection, conducted in January 2005, determined that the root causes for the performance deficiencies were understood and that completed and planned corrective actions were reasonable to address the related causes.
The enclosed inspection plan details the inspections, less those related to physical protection, scheduled through September 30, 2007. Planned inspections include reactor vessel head replacement inspections at both units and an independent spent fuel storage installation inspection. The inspection plan is provided to allow for the resolution of any scheduling conflicts and personnel availability issues well in advance of inspector arrival onsite. Routine resident inspections are not listed due to their ongoing and continuous nature. The inspections
2 J. Spina in the last nine months of the inspection plan are tentative and may be revised at the mid-cycle review.
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 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).
If circumstances arise which cause us to change this inspection plan, we will contact you to discuss the change as soon as possible. Please contact Mr. Brian McDermott at 610-337-5233 with any questions you may have regarding this letter or the inspection plan.
Sincerely,
/RA/
