l American Electric Power Service 2  NAR 121987 Corporation Your after-the-fact evaluation of this condition determined that a twenty-three (23) percent reduction in the design margin of the Final Safety Analysis Report ECCS analysis had existed and that the ECCS would still have been capable of meeting its safety function. However, the violation is of concern to the NRC because several licensed operators or senior operators either reviewed this condition prior to its implementation or were later cognizant of its existence and were not aware that this condition was contrary to Technical Specification This deficiency demonstrates the importance of a comprehensive knowledge of system operability requirements and the needed attention to detail by operations staff when removing equipment from service or operating with equipment out of service. To emphasize the significance of this deficiency, I have been authorized, after consultation with the Director, Office of Inspection and Enforcement, to issue the enclosed Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty in the amount of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) for the violation described in the enclosed Notice. In accordance with the " General itatement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1986) (Enforcement Policy), the violation, as described in the enclosed Notice, has been categorized as a Severity Level III. The base civil penalty for a Severity Level III violation is $50,000. The escalation and mitigation factors in the Enforcement Policy were considered and no adjustment has been deemed appropriat You are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions specified in the enclosed Notice when preparing your response. In your response, you should document the specific actions taken and any additional action you plan to prevent recurrence. After reviewing your response to this Notice, including your corrective actions, the NRC will determine whether further NRC enforcement action is necessary to ensure compliance with regulatory requirement In accordance with 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," Part 2, Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be olaced in the NRC Public Document Roo _ _ - _ _ _ - _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
