NOTIFICATION OF SIGNIFICANT ENTORCEMENT ACTION Licensee: Carolina Power and Light Company (EA89-235)
(Brunswick, Units 1and2)
Docket Nos. 50-325/324 i
Subject:
PROPOSED IMPOSITION OF CIVIL PENALTY - $75,000 i
This is to inform the Comission that a Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty in the amount of $75,000 will be issued on or about January 26, 1990 to Carolina Power and Light Company. This action is based on failures to promptly identify and correct deficiencies in the i
service water system involving over temperatures of pump motors and diversion of flow to nonsafety-related loads. The failure to correct the overtemperature problem resulted in the failure of one of the nuclear service water pump motors and the failure to correct the flow diversion problem may have resulted in not being able to provide adequate cooling to the diesel generators. The escalation and mitigation factors of the Enforcement Policy were considered and the civil penalty in this case was escalated 50% because the licensee failed to recognize the safety significance of the issue and initiate prompt corrective action until the DET questioned the licensee's evaluation and corrective action.
It should be noted that the licensee has not been specifically informed of the i
enforcement action. The schedule of issuance and notification is Mailing of Notice January 26, 1990 i
Telephone Notification of Licensee January 26, 1990 c
The State of North Carolina will be notified.
The licensee has thirty days f rom the date of the Notice in which to respond.
Following NRC evaluation of the response, the civil penalty may be remitted, mitigated, or imposed by Order.
