SUBJECT:
ORDER INP0 SING CIVIL MONETARY PENALTY This refers to your !atter dated June 29, 1988, in response to the Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty sent to you by our letter dated June 1, 1988. Our letter and Notice describe three violations identified by the NRC.
To emphasize the importance of adequate engineering control of installation instructions to ensure qualification of electrical equipment important to safety, a civil penalty of Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000) was prop'ased.
In your response, you admitted Violation 8 occurred as stated in the' Notice of Violation, but denied Violations A and C.
In addition, you requested remission of the proposed civil penalty.
Af ter consideration of your response, we have concluded, fnr the reasons given in the Appendix attached to the encloted Order Imposing Civil Monetary Penalty, that you did not provide sufficient basis for withdrawal of Violation A or for remission of the proposed civil penaltv. However, the NRC staff reconsidered its position on Violation C.
Although ycu did not conform with the EQ recuirements, the NRC staff has determined that Violation C is most appropriately classified at Severity Level IV.
Further, because there has been extensive discussion on this violation and corrected actions have been taken for it, a revised Notice will not be issued. Accordingly, we hereby serve the enclosed Order on Illinc.s Power Company imposing a civil penalty in the amount of Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000).
We will review the effectiveness of your corrective actionc l
during a subsequent inspection.
In accordance with Section 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," Part 2 Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, a copy of this letter and the enclosures will be placed in the NRC's Public Document Room.
Sincerely,
