SUBJECT:
ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER - CALVERT CLIFFS NUCLEAR POWER
PLANT (REPORTS 05000317/2008001 AND 05000318/2008001)
Dear Mr. Spina:
On February 12, 2008, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff completed its
performance review of Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant (Calvert Cliffs). Our technical staff
reviewed performance indicators (PIs) for the most recent quarter and inspection results for the
period from January 1 through December 31, 2007. 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 security information. A
separate letter designated and marked as Official Use OnlySecurity Information will include
the security cornerstone 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 for the most recent quarter was within the Licensee Response column
of the Action Matrix, Calvert Cliffs Unit 1 was within the Regulatory Response column of the
Action Matrix during the first two quarters of the assessment cycle, based on one finding of low
to moderate safety significance (White) identified in September 2006. The White finding
involved an incorrect circuit breaker setting that impacted operability of the "1A" emergency
diesel generator. The NRC has completed a supplemental inspection in accordance with
inspection procedure 95001. The results of that inspection were provided in NRC Supplemental
Inspection Report 05000317/2007006. As a result of that review, this finding was closed and no
longer considered for plant assessment purposes, effective July 1, 2007.
The enclosed inspection plan details the inspections, less those related to physical protection
scheduled through June 30, 2009. In addition to baseline inspections, we plan on conducting
an independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI) 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 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 the inspection plan, we will contact you to
discuss the change as soon as possible. Please contact Glenn Dentel of my staff at
610-337-5233, with any questions you may have regarding this letter or the inspection plan.
Sincerely,
