Gentlemen:

Submitted for your review is a working copy of Baltimore Gas and Electric Company's proposed Technical Specifications regarding radiological ef fluents. Also enclosed is an outline of the proposed Calvert Cliffs plant procedures for implementation of our augmented Radiological Effluent program. These documents are submitted in accordance with our agreement at the March 24, 1982, meeting, described in reference (d).

The Baltimore Gas and Electric Company also takes this opportunity to clarify its position on the RETS issue. Our major objection to the RETS program as proposed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission is the expenditure of additional resources without a commensurate return in the level of safety. We are confident that our proposed RETS program will minimize, although it will not eliminate, the need for additional resource expenditure. Further, our program will allow for the more appropriate use of available resources with a resultant increase in the level of safety. The point concerning the appropriate use of available resources can be extended to include the dilutive effects of additional Technical Specifications. As a result of additional Technical Specifications, 82042703g4 do

Mr. Robert A. Clark April 23,1982 Page 2 the efforts of operating personnel to focus on Technical Specifications more directly related to reactor operation are impeded and the level of safety may be reduced.

We are looking forward to resolution of the RETS issue. Should you have questions or comments regarding this matter, we would be pleased to discuss them with you.

Very truly yours, Manager - Nuclear Power JAT/DWL/gla Attachments cc: 3. A. Biddison, Esquire G. F. Trowbridge, Esquire D. H. Jaffe, NRC R. E. Architzel, NRC
