SUBJECT:
CALVERT CLIFFS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 -
CORRECTION OF LICENSE AMENDMENT NOS. 327 AND 305 FOR THE ELIMINATION OF THE NUCLEAR ADVISORY COMMITTEE REQUIREMENTS (EPID L-2018-LLA-0077)
Dear Mr. Hanson:
By letter dated November 15, 2018 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML18309A301), the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued Amendment No. 327 to Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-53 and Amendment No. 305 to Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-69 for the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant (Calvert Cliffs), Units 1 and 2, respectively. The amendments were in response to the application by Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon) dated March 26, 2018 (ADAMS Accession No. ML18086A138). The amendments deleted the requirements for the Nuclear Advisory Committee in Appendix C, Additional Conditions, of each license.
For Calvert Cliffs Unit 1, Appendix C is incorporated into the license through license condition 2.C.(3). For Calvert Cliffs Unit 2, Appendix C is incorporated into the license through license condition 2.C.(5). When the subject amendments were issued, these two license conditions should have been updated with the new amendment numbers and the associated replacement pages for the licenses should have been provided.
to this letter provides the corrected November 15, 2018, amendments and associated replacement pages for Calvert Cliffs Units 1 and 2 licenses, which contain marginal lines showing the areas of change. Please replace these pages in your copy of the November 15, 2018, amendments. Note that the replacement pages for Appendix C of the licenses were not affected by this error. The corrections do not change any of the conclusions in the safety evaluation associated with the amendments and do not affect the associated notice to the public.
In addition, the error in license condition 2.C.(3) for Calvert Cliffs Unit 1 also appeared on the replacements for page 3 of the license included with Amendment Nos. 328 and 329 (ADAMS Accession Nos. ML18365A373 and ML19053A588, respectively). Enclosure 2 provides the corrected page 3 of the Calvert Cliffs Unit 1 license that is current through Amendment No. 329.
If you have any questions, please contact me by email to Blake.Purnell@nrc.gov or by phone at (301) 415-1380.
Sincerely,
/RA/
