3' "

This-refers to your letter dated October 17, 1989 in response to the Notice of-

ViolationLand Proposed Imposition of. Civil Penalty l(Notice) sent to you by our

M' . letter dated September 13, 1989. Our letter and Notice described two viola ~-

tions,~one with multiple. examples, identified in NRC' Inspection Report.No. -

50-302/89-09.. t

-To emphasize the?importance of implementing adequate management and programmatic.

j

,

controls to ensure the initial and continuing qualification of equipment

?i mportant to safety, a civil- penalty of $100,000 was proposed.-

(In your response, you~ admit the violations occurred. However, you requested J

mitigation)of the civil penalty on the basis that the mitigation factors in R

~10LCFR Part 2, Appendix C,Section V.B were not a>propriately applied in this

.particul.ar case. . In addition, you also believe t1at the NRC has not provided:

s an adequate. basis to conclude that FPC's EQ program had significant deficien-

!

cies following conclusion of the.1985 refueling outage because the NRC inspec-

tionifocused on' specific issues and was not an= integrated appraisal of FPC's EQ -;

program.- ,

L Af ter consideration of your- response, we have concluded for the reasons given -

l in the Appendix attached to the enclosed Order Imposing Civil Monetary Penalty

l- that; the proposed civil penalty should be imposed. Accordingly, we hereby

? .

Tserve-the enclosed Order on Florida Power Corporation imposing a civil monetary -

'

. penalty in the amount of $100,000. We will review the effectiveness of your

. corrective actions during a subsequent inspection. 44
