SUBJECT: NRC REGION 1 INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-317/98-11

AND 50-318/98-11

Dear Mr. Cruse:

This report transmits the findings of the safety inspection conducted by NRC inspectors at

the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant from October 25 to December 12,1998. The

enclosed report presents the results of that inspection. At the conclusion of the inspection,

these findings were discussed with Mr. Navin and others of your staff.

Throughout the inspection period, the reactor plants were operated safely. During the

inspection period, your staff identified that a part had not been installed in the saltwater

strainers for the new Unit 1 service water heat exchangers. The absence of this part  ;

allowed some strainer bypass flow and may have contributed to recent heat exchanger  !

fouling. Once identified, we found your evaluation of the problem and corrective actions i

to be prompt and appropriate.

'

We also performed a special review of corrective actions for previously identified violations

and concerns in the radiation protection area. The inspectors determined that BGE was

,

'

effectively implementing its Radiological Controls Improvement Program, including broad

based corrective acti;ns for previously identified weaknesses. Further, we found effective I

radiological controls were implemented for spent fuel pool diving activities. We noted work

i activities planned for the March 1999 Unit 2 outage were being categorized on the basis of )

radiological risk and planned accordingly.  !
