February 8, 1988 h EN 88-12 0FFICE OF ENFORCEMENT NOTIFICATION OF SIGNIFICANT ENFORCEltENT ACTION Licensee: The Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company (EA 87-206)

(Perry Nuclear Power Plant, Unit 1)

Docket No. 50-440

Subject:

PROPOSED IMPOSITION OF CIVIL PENALTY - $25,000 This is to inform the Comission that a Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty in the amount of Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars

($25,000) will be issued on or about February 11, 1988 to The Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company. This acticn is based on the failure to ensure that some '

electrical equipment important to safety was (1) properly environmentally qualified by test and/or analysis; (2) installed in the configuration qualified by test and/or analysis; and (3) maintained to preserve its qualification. The i base civil penalty was reduced by 50 percent because of the licensee's unusually i prompt and extensive corrective actions.

The special Enforcement Policy for EQ violations in Generic Letters 85-15 and 86-15 is not applicable because the Perry Unit 1 wc4 granted an operating  ;

license after the November 30, 1985 EQ deadline. Therefore, the regular l Enforcement Policy was applied. The deficient conditions may not have been '

to such a degree as to impair a s.vstem's ability to perform its intended function. However, the programatic nature of these violations are cause for significant regulatory concern and therefore the violaticos have been considered in the aggregate as a Severity Level III problem. J 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 FebrJary ll, 1988 1 Telephone Notificatien of Licensee February 11, 1988 The State of Ohio 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, miticated, or imposed by Order.
