SUBJECT:
NOTICE OF VIOLATION - NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-317/98-80
)
AND 50-318/98-80
Dear Mr. Cruse:
j
This letter transmits the report of a safety system engineering inspection conducted by Mr.
i
Suresh K. Chaudhary and others at the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 & 2,
l
from January 12-30,1998 and March 27,1998. The inspection team reviewed various
'
engineering activities, including those related to control room ventilation, emergency diesel
generators (EDGs), service water / salt water system, engineering support, and corrective
action systems. At the conclusion of the inspection, the preliminary findings were
discussed with Mr. P. Katz of your staff.
l
The team determined that BG&E's engineering activities to assure plant safety were
j
satisfactory and generally effective. The team identified concerns regarding the control
l
l
room ventilation system design and performance testing that have been classified as an
l
unresolved item pending NRR review of your submittal on control room habitability.
!
Engineering and design control activities for the emergency diesel generators and the
service water / salt water system were effective, engineering support of operations was
satisfactory, and there was appropriate management emphasis on the effectiveness of
j
corrective action processes.

Two violations of NRC requirements were identified related to: (1) test acceptance criteria
f
for the DGP 1 A battery and (2) post-maintenance testing that f ailed to identify and correct
'
!
proHems with a failed EDG speed switch. These violations are cited in the enclosed Notice
l
of Violation (Notice), and detailed descriptions of these violations are included in the
/
j
!
enclosed report. In addition to the above, consistent with Section IV of the NRC
.
!
Enforcement Policy, three violations are treated as non-cited violations, and are described
l
in the enclosed report. Please note that you are required to respond to this letter and
should follow the instructions specified in the enclosed Notice when preparing your
!
response. The NRC will use your response to determine if further enforcement actions are
necessary to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
