SUBJECT: NRC REGION 1 INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-317/99-06

AND 50-318/99-06

Dear Mr. Cruse: )

l

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

Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant from June 27,1999 to August 14,1999. The enclosed report

presents the results of that inspection. At the conclusion of the inspection, these findings were

discussed with Mr. Katz and others of your staff.

Overall, the NRC has concluded that your facility was operated in a safe manner. Your conduct

of activities was generally characteiized by safety-conscious operations. An automatic

shutdown of Unit i during harsh weather was without complication and all equipment functioned

as designed. Also, we determined that you are implementing a security program that effectively )

protects against acts of radiological sabotage.

Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC has determined that two Severity Level IV

violations of NRC requirements occurred. These violations are being treated as non-cited

violations (NCVs), consistent with Appendix C of the NRC Enforcement Policy. The issues

involved a failure to document maintenance activities on an emergency diesel generator and a

failure to promptly report a condition outside of the design basis of the plant. These NCVs are

described in the subject inspection report. If you contest these violations or severity level of

these NCVs, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report,

with the basis for your denial, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control

Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001, with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region I, the

Resident inspector Office at Calvert Cliffs, and the Director, Office of Enforcement, United

States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001.
