Acceptance Review for Calvert Cliffs TSTF-511 Application (TAC Nos.

ME1129/ME1130)

Dear Ms. Furio:

By letter dated April 23, 2009, Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, Inc., the licensee, submitted a license amendment request for the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, Unit Nos. 1 and 2. The proposed amendment would eliminate those portions of the technical specifications superseded by 10 CFR Part 26 regarding working hour restrictions. The licensee's submittal is consistent with TSTF-511, "Eliminate Working Hour Restrictions from TS 5.2.2 to Support Compliance with 10 CFR Part 26." The purpose of this letter is to provide the results of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff=s acceptance review of this amendment request. The acceptance review was performed to determine if there is sufficient technical information in scope and depth to allow the NRC staff to complete its detailed technical review. The acceptance review is also intended to identify whether the application has any readily apparent information insufficiencies in its characterization of the regulatory requirements or the licensing basis of the plant.

Consistent with Section 50.90 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), an amendment to the license (including the technical specifications) must fully describe the changes requested, and following as far as applicable, the form prescribed for original applications. Section 50.34 of 10 CFR addresses the content of technical information required.

This section stipulates that the submittal address the design and operating characteristics, unusual or novel design features, and principal safety considerations.

The NRC staff has reviewed your application and concludes that it provides technical information in sufficient detail to enable the staff to proceed with its detailed technical review and make an independent assessment regarding the acceptability of the proposed amendment in terms of regulatory requirements and the protection of public health and safety and the environment. If additional information is needed for the staff to complete its technical review, you will be advised by separate correspondence.

Please contact me if you have any questions. A copy of this email will be made publicly available in ADAMS.
