Docket Nos. 50-254 and 50-265 Subiect:
PROPOSED IMPOSITION OF CIVIL PENALTY - $125,000 This is to inform the Commission that a Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty in the amount of $125,000 will be issued on or about September 21, 1993 to the Commonwealth Edison Company.
This action is based on the violations identified as a result of the followup of the bursting of a rupture disc in the Unit 1 High Pressure Coolant Injection System during testing conducted on June 9, 1993.
