0FFICE OF ENFORCEMENT NOTIFICATION OF SIGNIFICANT ENFORCEMENT ACTION Licensee: Arkansas Power & Light Company (EA88-284)

(Arkansas Nuclear One Units 1 and 2)

Docket Nos. 50-313 and 50-368

Subject:

PROPOSED IMPOSITION OF CIVIL PENALTIES - $175,000 This is to inform the Connission that'a Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalties in the cumulative amount of One Hundred Seventy-five Thousand Dollars ($175,000) will be issued on or about April 7, 1989 to Arkansas Power & Light Company. This action is based on two problems. The first involved the licensee's failure to take adequate corrective actions for various identified conditions adverse.to quality. The second problem involved various violations in which the licensee failed to properly control safety-related equipment. The first problem was escalated 100% because of prior notice and past performance while the secor;d was escalated 50% because the NRC identified a number of the violations which reasonably should have been identified earlier by the licensee.

It should be noted that the licensee has not been specifically informed of the enforcement action. The schedule of issuance and r. notification is:  !

Mailing of Notice April 7, 1989 Telephone Notification of Licensee April 7, 1989

. The State of Arkansas 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.
