Combined Inspections 50-317/78-38; 50-318/78-34
This refers to the inspection conducted by Mr. R. Conte of this office
on December 12-15, 1978 at Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant Units 1
and 2, Lusby, Maryland of activities authorized by NRC License Nos. DPR-
53; DPR-69 and to the discussions of our findings held by Mr. Conte with
Mr. L. Russell and other members of your staff at the conclusion of the
inspection, and to subsequent telephone discussions between Mr. D.
Johnson, NRC:RI and Mr. Russell on December 15. 1978 and between Mr.
Conte and Mr. Russell on December 19 and 20,1978. This,also refers to
the management meeting held at our office on January 4,1979, attended
by yourself, Mr. V. R. Evans, Vice President, General Services, and
other representatives of the Baltimore Gas and Electric Company.
Areas examined during this inspection are described in the Office of
Inspection and Enforcement Inspection Report which is enclosed with this
letter. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of selective
examinations of procedures and representative records, interviews with
personnel, and observations by the inspector.
Our inspector also verified the steps you have taken to correct the item
of noncompliance brought to your attention in letters dated October 26,
1978 and Novenber 2 and 6,1978. We have no further questions regarding
your action at this time.
Based on the results of this inspection, it appears that certain of your
activities were not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements,
as set forth in the Notice of Violation, enclosed herewith as Appendix
A.
These items of noncompliance have been categorized into the levels
as described in our correspondence to you dated December 31, 1974.
This
notice is sent to you pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.201 of the
NRC's " Rules of Practice," Part 2, Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations.

Company
Section 2.201 requires you to submit to this office, within twenty (20)
days of your receipt of this notice, a written statement or explanation
in reply including:
(1) corrective steps which have been taken by you
and the results achieved; (2) corrective steps which will be taken to
avoid further items of noncompliance; and (3) the date when full canpli-
ance will be achieved.
With respect to Item A of the enclosed Notice of Violation (Appendix A),
we are concerned about the implementation of your management system in
controlling recurrence of this type of item of noncompliance. We note
that from August 19, 1978 to December 14, 1978. five instances of
apparent inattention to your facility Technical Specification requirements,
by your Unit Nos. 1 and 2 licensed reactor operators and senior reactor
operators (station watch personnel), have been reported.
Of these five
instances, three were identified by station management and two were
identified by an NRC inspector.
In two of these instances (excluding
Item A, Appendix A to this letter), you were cited for an item of noncom-
pliance at the Infraction level and you responded that corrective actions
had been taken to prevent recurrence. We note that your corrective
actions included three memoranda issued to your station watch personnel
to call their attention to compliance with facility Technical Specification
requirements.
The latest instance, for which you are being cited, again
for noncompliance at the Infraction level, adds emphasis to our concern
regarding the effectiveness of your management control system. This and
other matters were discussed at the management meeting held on January
4, 1979. It is our view that this meeting was mutually beneficial in
that you now have a clear understanding of our concerns in the above
matter and we are aware of the corrective actions taken by you with
regard to the previously cited items of noncompliance.
In your reply to
this letter, you should describe those additional actions taken or
planned to improve the effectiveness of your management control system
in preventing recurrence of items of noncompliance of this type.
In accordance with Section 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," Part
2, Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, a copy of this letter and the
enclosures will be placed in the NRC's Public Document Room.
If this
report contains any infonnation that you (or your contractor) believe to
be proprietary, it is necessary that you make a written application
within 20 days to this office to withhold such infonnation from public
disclosure. Any such application must be accompanied by an affidavit
executed by the owner of the information, which identifies the document
or part sought to be withheld, and which contains a statement of reasons
which addresses with specificity the items which will be considered by
the Commission as listed in subparagraph (b) (4) of Section 2.790. The
information sought to be withheld shall be incorporated as far as possible
into a separate part of the affidavit.
If we do not hear fran you in
this regard within the specified period, the report will be placed in
the Public Document Room.
