(Sequoyah Units 1 & 2)
Docket Nos. 50-327 and 50-328
Subject:
PROPOSED IMPOSITION OF CIVIL PENALTY - $75,000 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 May 13, 1991 to Tennessee Valley Authority (Sequoyah). This action is based on the failure of control room personnel to respond to a control room alarm indicating low starting air pressure for the 28-B emergency diesel generator. The_ low air pressure condition continued for 1-2 hours until an auxiliary operator identified the condition locally at the diesel and reported the problem to the control room.- The base civil penalty of $50,000 has been escalated 50% for past poor performance specifically in the area of control room communication and command and control.
It should be noted that the licensee has not been specifically informed of the enforcement action.
The schedule of issuance and notification is:
Mailing of Notice May 13, 1991 Telephone Notification of Licensee May 13, 1991 The State of Tennessee will be notified.
The licensee has thirty days 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.
