Docket No. 50-265  ;

i Subiect: PROPOSED IMPOSITION OF CIVIL PENALTIES - $100,000 ,;

Tnis is to inform the Commission that a Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalties in.the amount of $100,000 will be issued on or about July 30, 1993, to Commonwealth Edison Company. This action is based on two violations involving the i inoperablity of emergency diesel generators which have each been  :

classified as Severity Level III violations. In the first, the shared emergency diesel generator was inoperable under certain ,

conditions, due to a design deficiency in some associated logic '

circuitry. In the second, the Unit 2 emergency generator was i determined to be inoperable because the associated cooling water  !

pump was incapable of performing its function. In each case, the escalation and mitigation factors were considered. In-the first case, the base civil penalty of $50,000 was escalated a total of '

50 percent to $75,000 after partially offsetting escalation for prior opportunities to identify with mitigation for licensee i identification. In the second case, the base civil penalty was mitigated 50 percent to $25,000 based upon mitigation for prior i

. good licensee performance.  ;

It should be noted that the licensee has not been specifically ,

informed of the enforcement action. The schedule of issuance and  !

notification is:

Mailinc )f Notice July 30, 1993 Telephone Notification of Licensee July 30, 1993 The State of Illinois will be notified.
