Gentlemen:

Subject: Combined Inspection Report Nos. 50-317/90-04 and 50-318/90-04

l

A special safety inspection of your emergency preparedness program was conducted by

Mr. C. Conklin on January 22 25,1990 at your Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant,

'

Lusby, Maryland. Discussions of our findings were presented by Mr. Conklin to you

and other members of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection..

Areas examined during this inspection are described in the NRC Region I Inspection

Report which is enclosed with this letter. Within these areas, the inspection consisted

of selective examination of procedures and representative records, interviews with

personnel, and observations by the inspector.

'

No violations or deviations were identified, but our review did identify needed

improvements in your Emergency Classification Level system. Although the NRC

approved your onsite emergency plan in a letter dated May 11,1983, we now conclude

l

that the NRC erred in granting that approval since Emergency Action Levels did not

L

meet the guidance in effect at that time as identified in Combined Inspection Report

Nos. 50 317/8119 and 50-318/8118. This inspection confirmed that your Emergency

Action Levels are still not consistent with NUREG 0654. In a January 31,1990

telephone conversation between Dr. Ronald R. Bellamy of this office and Mr. Richard

Heibel of your staff, Mr. Heibel committed to evaluate and upgrade your Emergency

Action Levels to present guidance and to implement these upgrades.

Mr. Heibel

stated that this effort is scheduled for completion by June 1,1990, and further

committed to keep the NRC apprised of progress and to identify any problems or

schedular slippage,
