Barton, Vice President and Director GPU Nuclear Corporation Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station Post Office Box 388 Forked River, New Jersey 08731
Dear Mr. Barton:
SUBJECT:
ORDER IMPOSING A CIVIL MONETARY PENALTY - $25,0C0 (NRC Inspection Report No. 50-219/93-07)
This letter refers to your letter, dated September 20, 1993, in response to the Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of '
Civil Penalty (Notice) sent to you by our letter dated
-
August 17, 1993.
Our letter and Notice described five violations of NRC radiological controls requirements, which were classified in the aggregate as a Severity Level III problem.
To emphasize the importance of adherence to the proper radiological control requirements as well as the communications necessary to implement those requirements, a civil penalty in the amount of $75,000 was proposed for these violations.
The base civil penalty of $50,000 was escalated by 25% based on the long term corrective action not being adequate or timely, and another 25% based on the licensee's prior performance.
In your response, you admitted the violations, and paid $50,000 of the civil penalty.
However, you contended that the escalation of the base amount of the penalty was unwarranted, and you requested that it be withdrawn, for the reasons set forth in your response, 'as summarized in the Appendix.
%
After considering your response, we have concluded, for the reasons given in the Appendix to the enclosed Order Imposing a Civil Monetary Penalty, that an adequate basis was not provided for withdrawing the remainder of the civil penalty.
Accordingly, we hereby serve the enclosed Order on GPU Nuclear Corporation imposing a civil monetary penalty in the amount of $25,000.
We will review the effectiveness of your corrective actions during a subsequent inspection.
