No. 85-4 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Tel. 301/492-7715 (Friday, January 11,1985)

NRC STAFF PROPOSES $50,000 CIVIL PENALTY AGAINST FLORIDA POWER CORPORATION The Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff has proposed a $50,000 civil penalty against Florida Power Corporation for alleged violation of NRC security reouirements at the Crystal River nuclear power plant in Florida.

Safeguards inspectors from the NPC's Region II office in Atlanta -

identified two violations d.uring a routine safeguards inspection at the plant on August 12-16, 1984. The inspectors found that plant equipment designated -

as " vital" was not afforded the level of protection specified in the physical security plan. NRC security requirements prohibit disclosure of details of physical security plans at nuclear power plants.

The company was informed of the proposed civil penalty in a letter signed by James P. O'Reilly, Administrator of the NRC's Atlanta regional office. He said company officials would be required to describe actions taken or planned to increase effectiveness of the management of the company's security program when responding to the NRC citation.

The company has 30 days in which to either pay the proposed civil penalty or to protest its imposition, in whole or in part.
