In accordance with licensee action paragraph two, surveillance testing of C. P. Clare Itdel HG2X-1011 mercury-wetted relays installed in both Calvert Cliffs units' Reactor Protective Systems has been increased to the prescribed frequency. It is anticipated that a qualified dry-contact relay will be available in a direct replacement configuration by early 1981. When available, replacement relays will be purchased.
