I October 8, 1985 EN 85-71 0FFICE OF INSPECTION AND ENFORCEMENT NOTIFICATION OF SIGNIFICANT ENFORCEMENT ACTION Licensee: Arizona Public Service Company Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, Unit 1 Docket No. 50-528
Subject:
PROPOSED IMPOSITION OF CIVIL PENALTY - $50,000 This is to inform the Comission that a Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty in the amount of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) will be issued on or about October 8,1985 to Arizona Public Service Company.
This action is based on a violation involving the Post Accident Sampling System (PASS). The selected location for obtaining post accident containment atmosphere samples was found to be unacceptable in that it was subject to high radiation levels that in certain accident situations would have severely limited and may have precluded personnel entry. The staff was advised that the Commission had no objection to taking this action in a SECY Memorandum dated October 7, 1985.
It shoula be noted that the licensee has not been specifically informed of the enforcement action. The Regional Administrator has been authorized by the Director, Office of Inspection and Enforcement, to sign this action.
A news release has been prepared and will be issued about the time the licensee receives the Notice. The State of Arizona 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.
