Dear Mr. Middleton:

I am resporiding to the letter from you dated January 17, 1989, about your concerns regarding the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant. The NRC also i recognizes the declining performance at Calvert Cliffs. Consequently, the NRC is significantly increasing its overall inspection effort planned for this facility. The increased inspection effort includes a special team inspection to provide an independent evaluation of performance and operational safety at Calvert Cliffs which will be conducted onsite during the period of February 27 - March 31, 1989.

In addition, as a consequence of being identified as warranting increased NRC attention, the Baltimore Gas and Electric Company (BG&E) has committed to submitting a corrective action plan to the NRC. In developing this plan, BG&E is attempting to identify the root causes of its declining performance and to determine specific actions that CG&E could take to improve its performance. The NRC will review and evaluate this corrective action plan when it is submitted.

The EG&E corrective action plan and the results of the special team inspectbn, as well as the results of all other NRC inspections at Calvert Cliffs, will be available to the public at the Local Public Document Room in the Calvert County Library, Prince Frederick, Maryland, or copies can be obtained from the Commission's Public Document Room, 2120 L Street, N.W.,

Washington, DC.

Furthermore, since 1976 the NRC has had in place a State Liaison Officer (SLO) program. In this program, each State's Governor appoints an SLO to be the State's point of contact with the NRC. On matters concerning plant events and before any public announcements, the NRC SLO will inform the State SLO of the concern or issue involved.

l Mr. Thomas Mac Middleton If you have any specific questions or concerns regarding Calvert Cliffs, please feel free to contact the NRC Region I State Liaison Officer, Ms. Marie Miller, at (215) 337-5246. In addition, for your information, the Maryland State Liaison Officer is Mr. Thomas Andrews, Deputy Secretary, Department of Environment, (301) 631-3086.

I hope that this information is responsive to your concerns regarding the operational performance at Calvert Cliffs and the notification of the State about plant concerns and events.
