At 2315 EDT on July 24th, 2014, CCNPP (Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant) U1 identified RCS (Reactor Coolant System) pressure boundary leakage from the instrument line to 1-PDT-123A, 11A reactor coolant pump differential pressure transmitter. Technical Specification 3.4.13, Action B was entered and requires that the unit be placed in Mode 3 within 6 hours and Mode 5 within 36 hours. (CCNPP has) initiated plant shutdown in accordance with this Technical Specification. Therefore, this is reportable under 10 CFR 50.72(b)(2)(i) Plant Shutdown Required by Technical Specifications. This is also reportable under 50.72(B)(3)(ii)(A) as a material defect in the primary coolant system that cannot be found acceptable under ASME Section XI, IWB-3600 or ASME Section XI, Table IWB-3410-1. The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.

ENS 4269911 July 2006 11:28:00On 7/6/06 a significant jelly fish influx required securing 11 Circulating Water Pump on Unit 1 and 26 Circulating Water Pump on Unit 2. Both Units remained at 100 % power, On 7/7/06 Unit 1 was downpowered to 41 % due to similar jelly fish influx and subsequently returned to 100 % power. NPDES permit requires state notification of any significant aquatic impact on the plant. NRC Resident Inspector has been notified.
