SUBJECT:

CALVERT CLIFFS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 -

NOTIFICATION OF CONDUCT OF A TRIENNIAL FIRE PROTECTION BASELINE INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

Dear Mr. Hanson:

The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff will conduct a triennial fire protection baseline inspection at your Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2 in September, 2016. The inspection team will be led by Mr. Dan Orr from the NRC Region I Office. The team will be composed of personnel from the NRC Region I Office. The inspection will be conducted in accordance with Inspection Procedure 71111.05XT, the NRC's baseline fire protection inspection procedure.

The schedule for the inspection is as follows:

Information Gathering Visit: August 30 - September 1, 2016

On-Site Inspection: September 12 - 16, 2016 and September 26 - 30, 2016 The purpose of the information gathering visit is to obtain information and documentation needed to support the inspection, to become familiar with the station fire protection programs, fire protection features, nuclear safety capability and performance criteria, plant layout, and mitigating strategies to address Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.54(hh)(2); and obtain plant specific site access training and badging for unescorted access.

An initial list of the documents the team will review during the conduct of the inspection are listed in Enclosures 1 and 2. The team leader will contact you with any additional specific document requests prior to the information gathering visit.

Your cooperation and support during this inspection will be appreciated. If you have questions concerning this inspection, or the inspection team's information request or logistical needs, please contact Mr. Dan Orr, Team Leader at (610) 337-5048, or via e-mail at Dan.Orr@nrc.gov.

B. Hanson This letter does not contain new or amended information collection requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Existing information collection requirements were approved by the Office of Management and Budget, under Control Number 3150-0011. The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a request for information or an information collection requirement unless the requesting document displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget control number.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC Rules and Practices, a copy of this letter and its enclosures will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publically Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.hmtl (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

Sincerely,

/RA/
