Letter from Mr. A. W. Dromerick (NRC) to Mr. C.11. Cruse (BGE),
dated October 18,199' Transfer of Ownership as Described in Order Affecting License Nm DPR-53 and DPR-69 for the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, License No. SNM 2505 (TAC Nos. M95271, M95272, and L22281)
As noted in the referenced Order, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has approved the transfer of the licenses for Calvert Cliffs Units I and 2, and the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Facility from Baltimore Gas and Electric Company (BGE) to Constellation Energy Corporation. The Order stated that, "should the transfer of the licenses not be consummated by December 31,1997, this Order shall become null and void, provided, however, on application and for good cause shown, such a date may be extended."
Baltimore Gas and Electric Company is requesting an extension of the Order as described below.
The proposed merger of BGE and Potomac Electric Power Company (Pepco) into Constellation was the impetus for requesting the license transfers for Calvert Cliffs Units 1 and 2. All of the necessary regulatory approvals have now been obtained for the consummation of the merger. However, the Maryland and District of Columbia Public Service Commissions attached conditions to their approvals that are inconsistent with the merger applications. The companies have liled joint requests with the Maryland and District of Columbia Commissions for rehearing of their original orders.
AJ Folo/o An intervener in the Maryland case appealed the Maryland Commission's order to the Circuit Court in Baltimore County, and this appeal has delayed the expected merger process. The Circuit Court affirmed the Commission's order on October 27,1997, but the Court's order has now been appealed to the Court of Special Appeals of Maryland. The issues being appealed, and those that are contained in the requests for rehearing in both Maryland and the District of Columbia, do not change the information provided to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission on which its Order was based.
