f o EN 98-038 May 14,1998 OFFICE OF ENFORCEMENT NOTIFICATION OF SIGNIFICANT ENFORCEMENT ACTION Licensee: Boston Edison Company (BECo) (EA 98191) l Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station Docket No. 50-293 Subiect: PROPOSED IMPOSITION OF civil PENALTY - $55,000 This is to inform the Commission that a Notice of Violation and Proposed I ,sosition of Civil Penalty in the amount of $55,000 will be issued on or about May 19,1998 to BECo.

This action is based on one violation involving apparent failures associated with assessment aids at the facility. The violation is classified in the aggregate at Severity Level Ill. Because this was not the first escalated enforcement action within the past 2 years, the staff considered whether credit was warranted for identification and corrective action.

Credit was not warranted for identification because the violations were identified by the NRC. Credit was warranted for corrective actions because BECo's corrective actions were prompt and comprehensive.

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

Mailing of Notice May 19,1998 Telephone Notification of Licensee May 19,1998 The Commonwealth of Massachusetts 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 penalties may be remitted, mitigated, or imposed by Order.
