Dr. T. E. hturley, Director Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation SUBJEQ Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant Unit Nos.1 & ^; Dmket Nos. 50-317 & 50-318 Baltimore Gas & Electric Company License Renewal and hiaintenance Rule Initiatives Gent!cmen:
The purpose of this letter is to initiate discussions with you based na two meetings recently held with your staff and Commissioner Curtiss during November 1992. The pu. pose of these meetings was to brief the NRC on Baltimore Gas and tilectric (BG&E) Company's Life Cycle Management / License Renewal and Maintenance Rule efforts.
Since 1990, BG&E has expended over $12 million in the development and execution of our Life Cycle Manapment (LCM) Program for Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant. Baltimore Gas and Electric Company's goal is 'o position Calvert Cliffs to operate well, up to and possibly beyond its current licensed life, includir; making preparations for decommissioning. More recently, BG&E has initiated efforts to implemont the new Maintenance Rule under the industry's Verification and Validation (V&V) Prograr. sponsored by NUMARC. In all, BG&E currently has over 20 full-time employees working on the.c effarts.
As discussed with Messrs. D. M. Crutchfield and J. W. Craig on November 19th, BG&E requests that NRC work with BG&E in 1993 to review our program activities regarding license renewal and the maintenance rule. Specifically, we proposed submitting the results of three system evaluations that demor. strate our interpretations and implementation of l') CFR Part 54 and take into account the use of the Maintenance Rub,10 CFR 50.65 Baltimore Gas and Electric Company believes that this review between NRC and us is impartant in that BG&E will be assured that our efforts over the next several years are productive. Conversely, BG&E believes that our work and experience can offer valuable insight into the execution of these rules. We would like to begin work with your newly established senior management review effort to address policy issues relevant to these rules. Our three proposed system evaluations could act as a
" verification and validation" test. We would appreciate you taking this strategy into account in establishing your 1993 resource priorities.
