SUBJECT:

COMPLETION OF LICENSING ACTION FOR NRC BULLETIN 96-02, " MOVEMENT l OF HEAVY LOADS OVER SPENT FUEL, OVER FUEL IN THE REACTOR CORE, OR OVER SAFETY-RELATED EQUIPMENT," DATED APRIL 11,1996, FOR CALVERT CLIFFS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, UNIT NOS.1 AND 2 (TAC NOS. M95567 AND M95568)

Dear Mr. Cruse:

On April 11,1996, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Comrnission (NRC) issued NRC Bulletin (NRCB) 96-02, " Movement of Heavy Loads Over Spent Fuel, Over Fuel in the Reactor Core, or Over Safety-Related Equipment," to all holders of operating licenses. The NRC issued NRCB 96-02' for three principal reasons:

1. Alert addressees to the importance of complying with existing regulatory guidelines associated with the control and handling of heavy loads at nuclear power plants,

2. Request that all addressees review their plans and capabilities for handling heavy loads in accordance with existing regulatory guidelines and within their licensing basis as previously analyzed in the final safety analysis report, and

3. Rsquire addressees to report to the NRC whether and to what extent they have complied j with the actions requested in this bulletin. 1 Also the bulletin requested that Baltimore Gas and Electric Company determine whether current activities were within the licensing basis and to submit a license amendment request as necessary, i in response to NRCB 96-02, you provided a letter dated May 13,1996, for Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, Unit Nos.1 and 2. This submittal provided both the information requested and the responses required by NRCB 96-02. NRC staff review of the responses to NRCB 96-02 finds that, overall, the responses are acceptable; therefore, TAC Nos. M95567 and M95568 are closed.
