Dear Mr. Cruse-i On December 4,1996, Baltimore Gas and Electric Energy (BGE), submitted a license amendment request to convert the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2 Current Technical Specifications to the Improvad Technical Specifications (ITS). During the course of our review, we found that we require additional information to complete our evaluation.
Please respond to the enclosed request for information (RAI) that seeks to clarify the ITS Sections 2.0 Safety Limits, 3.1 Reactivity Control Systems, 3.2 Power Distribution Limits, 3.5 Emergency Core Cooling Systems, and 3.9 Refueling.
On May 15, 1997, in a telephone conference with Brian D. Mann, of BGE and NRC staff Mr. Mann said that the supplement to the Calvert Cliffs conversion amendment would be sent to the NRC on May 31, 1997. The staff anticipates that review of the supplement will assist in the Calvert Cliffs conversion to the Standard Technical Specifications. To support the NRC staff's review schedule, your written and electronic response in Wordperfect 5.1 to this RAI is requested within 15 days of the receipt of this letter. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at (301) 415-3473.
