MAR 01J988 Docket No. 50-369 License No. NPF-9 EA 87-163 Ouke Power Company ATTN: Mr. H. B. Tucker, Vice President Nuclear Production Department 422 South Church Street Charlotte, NC 28242 Gentlemen:
SUBJECT:
ORDEP IMPOSING A CIVIL HONETARY PENALTY This refers to your letter dated November 25, 1987, in response to the Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty sent to you by our letter dated October 28, 1987. Our letter and Notice describe three violations, identified during an NRC inspection conducted on August 3-7, 1987. To emphasize the need to improve independent ve"ification, strict compliance with procedures, and attention to detail, a civil penalty of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) was proposed.
In your response, you admitted that the subject violations occurred and you did not contest imposition of the. base civil penalty or the proposed Severity Level; however, you disputed the escalation of the base civil penalty on the grounds that the bases cited for escalation are either inconsistent with the factors set forth in the Enforcement Policy or are otherwise improper.
After consideration of your response, we have concluded for the reasons given in the Appendix attached to the enclosed Order Imposing Civil Monetary Penalty that the 100 percent escalation of the base civil penalty is appropriate. Accordingly, we hereby serve the enclosed Order on Duke Power Company imposing a civil monetary peralty 111 the amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). We will review the effective-ness of your ccrrective actlons during a subsequent inspection.
In accordance with Section 2.790 of the NRC's "Rule of Prcctice," Part 2, Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations, a copy of this letter and the enclosure will be placed in tile NRC's Public Document Room.
Sincerely, 303[
