December 8, 1994 EN 94-126 OFFICE OF ENFORCEMENT NOTIFICATION OF SIGNIFICANT ENFORCEMENT ACTION License:
Consumers Power Company (EA 94-222)
Palisades Nuclear Plant Docket No. 50-255
Subject:
PROPOSED IMPOSITION OF CIVIL PENALTY - $25,000 This is to inform the Commission that a Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty in the amount of $25,000 will be issued on or about December 13, 1994, to Consumers Power Company.
The action is based on an inspection conducted at the Palisades Nuclear Plant concerning the licensee's identification of the emergency diesel generators being incapable of supplying their respective maximum design basis accident loads. Three violations were identified and have been collectively categorized as one Severity Level III problem and a civil penalty is being proposed.
Fifty percent mitigation of the civil penalty was warranted each for the factors of identification and licensee corrective action because the violations were identified by the licensee and the corrective actions taken subsequent to the violations' identification were considered good.
However, the civil penalty was escalated 50 percent because of the licensee's prior poor performance.
As a result of these factors, the adjusted civil penalty was $25,000.
It should be noted that the licensee has not been specifically informed of the enforcement action.
The schedule of issuance and notification is:
Mailirtg of Notice Telephone Notification of Licensee The State of Michigan will be notified.
December 13, 1994 December 13, 1994 The licensee has thirty days from the date of the No~ice in which to respond.
Following NRC evaluation of the response, the civil penalty may be remitted, mitigated, or imposed by Order.
