Docket No. 50-341 The Detroit Edison Company A'ITN: Wayne H. Jens Vice President Nuclear Operations 6400 North Dixie Highway Newport, MI 48166 Gentlemen:

The March 8, 1984 revision to the NRC Enforcement Policy introduced a means of recognizing good licensee performance by providing for full mitigation of a civil penalty based on prior good performance in the general area of concern.

One of the cases where this option was exercised by NRC involved the Kewaunee Nuclear Plant. I thought it would be informative to provide you with a copy of that hTC enforcement package so you could review our application of this aspect of the enforcement policy.

Secondly, I was particularly impressed with the quality of the presentation by Wisconsin Public Service management during the Enforcement Conference with regard to this issue. The presentation reflected an indepth analysis of the event, an assessment of safety significance and a clear description of corrective actions which were very useful for me and my staff in reviewing this case. With the approval of Wisconsin Public Service Company, I am also enclosing a copy of that presentation for your information.

I would hope that the provision in the Enforcement Policy to mitigate certain civil penalties based on good performance would be an incentive to strive for excellence of performance at your facilities.
