CORRECTION LETTER TO LICENSE AMENDMENT NO. 297 - CALVERT CLIFFS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, UNIT NO.1 (TAC NO. ME2831)

Dear Mr. Gellrich:

By letter dated February 18, 2011, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued Amendment No. 297 to Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-53 for the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, Unit NO.1. The amendment revised the licensing basis and the Technical Specifications to allow the use of AREVA Advanced CE-14 HTP fuel in the Calvert Cliffs reactors as proposed in your application dated November 23,2009.

The transition from Westinghouse to AREVA fuel will be accomplished over three refueling cycles beginning with Calvert Cliffs Unit No.2 during the refueling outage which is currently ongoing. AREVA fuel will not be introduced into Calvert Cliffs Unit No.1 until the refueling outage scheduled for February 2012.

The license amendment issued for Unit No. 1 inadvertently stated that the amendment would be implemented within 30 days. However, as stated in your correspondence, the amendment will be implemented within 60 days of completion of the Unit 1 2012 refueling outage. A corrected license amendment for Unit No. 1 is enclosed.

Please contact me at 301-415-1364 if you have any questions.

Sincerely, Douglas V. Pickett, Senior Project Manager Plant licenSing Branch 1-1 Division of Operating Reactor Licensing Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Docket No. 50-317
