                          SUBJECT: ORDER IMPOSING A CIVIL MONETARY PENALTY - $75,000
                          This refers to your letter dated June 16, 1989, in response to the Notica of
                          Violation and Proposed imposition of Civil Penalty (Notice) sent to you by our
                            letter dated May 19, 1989, related to NRC Inspection Report Nos. 50-413/88-38
                          and 50-414/88-38 sent to you by our letter dated March 2,1989. Our letter and
                          Notice described the inoperability of one train of the Containment Air Return
                          and Hydrogen Skimmer System due to an electrical wiring error associated with
                          the January 1988 installation of a station modification (Violation A) and the
                          failure to report the degraded safety system for ten months after its discovery
                          (ViolationB). To emphasize the need for adequate post modification testing
                        and prompt reporting of inoperable safety systems, the May enforcement action
                        was issued which included a proposed civil penalty of Seventy-Five Thousand
                        Dollars ($75,000) for Violation A.
                      The NRC has reviewed your r_sponse in which you admitted Violations A and B.
                        You stated that you do not believe Violation A warranted escalation and requested
                        the civil penalty be partially mitigated.                  In addition, you also requested that
                        Violation B be reduced to a Severity Level IV violation.
                      After careful consideration of your response, we have concluded for the reasons
                      giver, in the Appendix attached to the enclosed Order Imposing Civil Monetary
                      Penalty, that there is insufficient cause to mitigate the Civil Penalty for
                      Violation A or to reduce the severity level of Violation B. Accordingly, we
                      hereby serve the enclosed Order on Duke Power Company imposing a civil monetary
                      penalty in the amount of Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000). We will
                      review the effectiveness of your corrective actions during a subsequent
                      inspection.
