SUBJECT:

CALVERT CLIFFS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 - FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY LEVEL 1 FINDING FROM 2021 EVALUATED EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS EXERCISE

Dear Ms. Amos:

On September 14, 2021, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) completed an evaluation of an emergency preparedness exercise at Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2. During this exercise, FEMA identified a Level 1 Finding related to the performance of activities performed by the Maryland Emergency Management Agency (MEMA).

Enclosed is correspondence from FEMA Region III to Maryland Emergency Management Agency, dated September 16, 2021, which provides detailed information about the issue involved in the Level 1 Finding (ADAMS Accession No. ML21265A199). As discussed in our September 20, 2021, telephone call, the NRC is performing our responsibilities described in the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between FEMA and NRC (Appendix A to 44 CFR 353).

This MOU is also available in ADAMS at Accession No. ML15344A371. Specifically, this letter and its enclosure serve as formal notification of the Level 1 Finding and our responsibility to monitor Exelons efforts to work with State and local authorities to correct the identified inadequacy. Approximately 60 days after official notification of the Level 1 Finding, the NRC, in consultation with FEMA, will assess the progress being made towards resolution. This is to

P. Amos 2 ensure that reasonable assurance remains, and the offsite organizations retain their ability to take appropriate protective measures to ensure the health and safety of the public.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at (610) 337-5200.

Sincerely, Fred L. Bower Digitally signed by Fred L. Bower Date: 2021.09.22 10:50:57 -04'00' Fred L. Bower, III, Chief Security, Emergency Preparedness and Incident Response Branch Division of Radiological Safety and Security Docket Nos. 05000317 and 05000318 License Nos. DPR-53 and DPR-69
