NRC Issues Safety Evaluation Report on Calvert Cliffs License Renewal Application

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff has issued its safety evaluation report on the proposed renewal of the operating licenses for the two Calvert Cliffs nuclear power plants in Lusby, Md. In the report, the staff concludes there are no safety concerns that would preclude renewal of the license.

Baltimore Gas & Electric Co. submitted an application to the NRC in April 1998 to renew the licenses for Calvert Cliffs Units 1 and 2 for another 20 years after the current licenses expire on July 31, 2014, for Unit 1 and August 31, 2016, for Unit 2.

A copy of the safety evaluation report will be available on the NRC's Web site at: http://www.nrc.gov/OPA/reports/renewal.htm . A copy will also be available in the NRC Public Document Room at 2120 L Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20555; telephone: 202/634-3273.

As a separate matter, the Commission is considering what actions it might take in response to a November 12 ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals concerning a request by the National Whistleblowers Center to intervene in the Calvert Cliffs proceeding.
