, . OFFICE OF ENFORCEMENT NOTIFICATION OF SIGNIFICANT ENFORCEMENT ACTION Licensee: United States Enrichment Corporation (EA 98-455) ;
Bethesda, Maryland l Docket No. 70-7001 Subiect: NOTICE OF VIOLATION AND EXERCISE OF ENFORCEMENT DISCRETION This is to inform the Commission that the staff intends to exercise enforcement discretion by refraining from issuance of a proposed civil penalty to the United States Enrichment Corporation (USEC) for a violation involving a failure to limit the discharge bellow pressure on a Normetex withdrawal pump below a safety limit described in Paducah's Technical Safety Requirements (TSRs).
Supplement VI.A.5 of the Enforcement Policy provides that exceeding a safety limit would normally be classified as a Severity Level I violation. In this case, however, the staff proposes to exercise enforcement discretion because: (1) USEC's failure to maintain the Normetex pump discharge bellow pressure to within the safety limit had minimal, if any, potential safety consequences; (2) the presence of a process gas leak detection system, a separate safety system, would have mitigated the consequences from all Normetex pump discharge piping failures; and (3) the Normetex pump discharge piping pressure limit does not meet the current criteria of 10CFR76.4 for designation as a safety limit. The enforcement discretion would be exercised pursuant to Section Vll.B.6 of the Enforcement Policy to cite the violation at Severity Level IV.
It should be noted that USEC has not been specifically informed of the enforcement decision. The schedule ofissuance is:
Mailing of Notice November 24,1998 Telephone notification oflicensee November 24,1998 The State of Kentucky will be notified.
