March 1, 1990 EN 90-29 0FFICE OF ENFORCEMENT NOTIFICATION OF SIGNIFICANT EldORCEMENT ACTION Licensee: Baltimore Gas & Electric Company (EA90-002)

(CalvertCliffs)

Docket Nos. 50-317 and 50-318

Subject:

PROPOSED IMPOSITION OF CIVIL PENALTY - 5100,000 This is to inform the Comission that a Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty in the amount of $100,000 will be issued on or about March 6,1990 to Baltimore Gas & Electric Cornpany. This action is based on the failure to take adequate corrective action for deficiencies in meeting Low Temperature Overpressure Protection (LTOP) comitinents. Several hardware and software comittents had not been irnplemented as required since initial plant startup. A 1988 NRC inspection identified the failure to inaplement two comit-raents, and two licensee analysis of the LTOP system performed in 1987 and 1989 identified other design assuinption deficiencies for which the licensee failed to properly evaluate and correct. The civil penalty was escalated 50% for NRC identification and 50% for inadequate corrective action.

It was concluded that further escalation for poor past performance was not necessary to etaphasize our co.1ce.rn because that performance has contributed to an extended shutdown of the facility.

It should be noted that the licensee has not been specifically informed of the enforceraent action. The schedule of issuance and notification is:

Mailing cf Notice March 6, 1990 Telephone Notification of Licensee 11 arch 6,1990 The State of liaryland will be notified.

The licensee has thirty cays from 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.
