- Phoenix, Arizona 85036 Gentlemen:
This refers to your letter of January 31, 1984, which responded to the NRC letter and Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalties of December 12, 1983.
This action was based on significant violations of NRC requirements involving your failure to adequately control activities affecting the quality of safety-related work.
The circumstances are contained in our letter of December 12,
- 1983, and in NRC Inspection Report 50-528/83-34.
Based on careful consideration of your reply, and for the reasons given in the Appendix to the enclosed
- Order, we have concluded that the violation occurred as set forth in paragraph I.A, Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalties.
In accordance with your request, the item in paragraph I.B. of the Notice of Violation and of Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalties will be addressed later in separate correspondence.
After careful consideration of your response to item I.A, we have concluded for the reasons given in the enclosed Order and Appendix that your prompt and extensive corrective action provides sufficient basis for 501 mitigation of the proposed penalty.
Accordingly, we hereby serve the enclosed Order on Arizona Public Service Company imposing a civil penalty in the amount of Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000) for this item.
We also acknowledge receipt of your response to those items contained in the Notice of Violation for which no civil penalty was proposed.
As you requested, we have reexamined the severity levels assigned each of those items.
With exception of items II.A.3 and II.A.4, we disagree with your contention that the violations have been inappropriately assigned as Severity Level IV.
Items II.A.3 and II.A.4., are hereby reclassified as Severity Level V.
