Subject:
PROPOSED IMPOSITION OF CIVIL PENALTIES - $150,000 This is to inform the Commission that a Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalties in the amount of One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars
($150,000) will be issued on or about September 20, 1988 to Baltimore Gas &
Electric Company. This action is based on two events in which Technical Specification Limiting Conditions for Operation were violated.
In the first, one of the two emergency diesel generators required for Unit 2 was inoperable for approximately 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> because the voltage regulator was lef t in manual after testing.
In the second, all the variable high level and axial offset Reactor Protective System instrumentation channels on Unit I were set less conservative than required. The escalation and mitigation factors of the Enforcement Policy were considered and in both cases the base civil penalty was escalated 50%.
For the first, escalation was deemed appropriate because of poor prior performance and in the second, escalation was warranted because of prior notice of a similar problem.
