At 1715 EDT on July 17th, 2012, Calvert ClAt 1715 EDT on July 17th, 2012, Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1 identified RCS 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. The licensee 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.</br>The licensee initially discovered the leak during an RCS leak rate surveillance that indicated RCS leakage on the order of 0.08 gpm. A video camera was used to look for the leak and was found to be on the identified instrument line. The licensee has initiated a power reduction and is currently at approximately 50%. </br>The recovery plan at this time is to reduce power to about 10% which will reduce radiation levels in the area of the leak and isolate the instrument line and isolate the leakage. The instrument line is for a reactor coolant pump differential pressure transmitter which is for monitoring purposes only and does not provide any safety related functions. If the leak can be secured, the licensee intends to return to power. If the leak cannot be secured, the plant will shutdown in compliance with the technical specification action statement.</br>The licensee has notified the NRC Resident Inspector.e has notified the NRC Resident Inspector.  +
