T v g D R W.ri DCuET NUMBER PROPOSED RULE O EO July 13,1"95 Secretary U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555 NITENTION: Docketing and Services Branch SUllJECT: Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant Unit Nos.1 & 2; Docket Nos. 50-317 & 50-318 Comments on Proposed Rule Change; Emergency Planning and Preparedness hqLeise Requirements (60 FR 19002) Baltimore Gas and Electric Company is pleased to provide the following comments regarding the proposed rule change. Baltimore Gas and Electric Company supports the NRC's conclusion that: The required frequency for full, formal exercise of the onsite emergency plan should be 1 reduced from annual to biennial, Re means to train and maintain emergency response capabilities and readiness in the two-year interval between formal exercises should be changed such that proficiency in these areas will be ensured by informal drills; and Opportunities for training State and local governments should be preserved. Baltimore Gas and Electric Company has acquired extensive experience with, and insight into, a nuclear facility's emergency response needs. Emergency response program enhancements resulting from actions by the NRC after the Three Mile Island accident have matured significantly. Program maintenance at the level of readiness will not be jeopardized by a change in the frequency of full, formal exercises. The flexibility provided by the proposed rule change allows the licensee to test response organizations in accident scenarios that more accurately reflect plant design. 9508090087 950713 PDR PR V 50 60FR19002 PDR
