Dc3 August 15, 1985 EN 85-57 0FFICE OF INSPECTION AND ENFORCEMENT NOTIFICATION OF SIGNIFICANT ENFORCEMENT ACTION Licensee: Florida Power and ight Compan (Turkey Point, Units 3 and 4) y Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251

Subject:

PROPOSED IMPOSITION OF CIVIL PENALTY - $100,000 This is to inform the Commission that a Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty in the amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars

($100,000) will be issued on or about August 20, 1985 to Florida Power and Light Company. This action is based on the failure of the licensee's staff to determine whether a modification to the spent fuel pits (SFP) piping created an unreviewed safety question. This failure resulted in the operation of SFP systems for several years in a different manner than that described in the Final Safety Analysis Report.

It should 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. The schedule of issuance and notification is:

Mailing of Notice August 20, 1985 Telephone Notification of Licensee August 20, 1985 A news release has been prepared and will be issued about the time the licensee receives the Notice. The State of Florida 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.
