NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

[Docket No. 70–1201; License No. SNM–

1168; EAs 95–236 and 95–215]

B&W Fuel Company d/b/a Framatome

Cogema Fuels; Order Imposing Civil

Monetary Penalty

I

B&W Fuel Company (Licensee) is the

holder of Special Nuclear Material

License No. SNM–1168 issued by the

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC

or Commission) in September 1969. The

license authorizes the Licensee to

possess and use special nuclear material

in accordance with the conditions

specified therein. The license was last

renewed on September 24, 1990, and is

due to expire on September 30, 2000.

II

Inspections of the Licensee’s activities

were conducted during the period of

June 12 through October 6, 1995. The

results of these inspections indicated

that the Licensee had not conducted its

activities in full compliance with NRC

requirements. A written Notice of

Violation and Proposed Imposition of

Civil Penalty (Notice) was served upon

the Licensee by letter dated January 30,

1996. The Notice states the nature of the

violations, the provisions of the NRC’s

requirements that the Licensee had

violated, and the amount of the civil

penalty proposed for the violations.

The Licensee responded to the Notice

in a letter dated February 23, 1996. In

its response, the Licensee admitted

Violations B, and C, and questioned the

regulatory basis for Violation A. In

addition, the Licensee requested the

NRC to reconsider both the severity

level of the violations and the proposed

civil penalty based on the stated

minimal safety significance of the

violations and the Licensee’s corrective

action.

III

After consideration of the Licensee’s

response and the statements of fact,

explanation, and argument for

mitigation contained therein, the NRC

staff has determined, as set forth in the

Appendix to this Order, that the

violations occurred as stated and that

the penalty proposed for the violations

designated in the Notice should be

imposed.

IV

In view of the foregoing and pursuant

to Section 234 of the Atomic Energy Act

of 1954, as amended (Act), 42 U.S.C.

2282, and 10 CFR 2.205, IT IS HEREBY

ORDERED THAT:

The Licensee pay a civil penalty in

the amount of $12,500 within 30 days

of the date of this Order, by check, draft,

money order, or electronic transfer,

payable to the Treasurer of the United

States and mailed to Mr. James

Lieberman, Director, Office of

Enforcement, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission, One White Flint North,

11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD

20852–2738.

V

The Licensee may request a hearing

within 30 days of the date of this Order.

Where good cause is shown,

consideration will be given to extending

the time to request a hearing. A request

for extension of time must be made in

writing to the Director, Office of

Enforcement, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission Washington, D.C. 20555,

and include a statement of good cause

for the extension. A request for a

hearing should be clearly marked as a

‘‘Request for an Enforcement Hearing’’

and shall be addressed to the Director,

Office of Enforcement, U.S. Nuclear

Regulatory Commission Washington,

D.C. 20555, with a copy to the

Commission’s Document Control Desk,

Washington, D.C. 20555. Copies also

shall be sent to the Assistant General

Counsel for Hearings and Enforcement

at the same address and to the Regional

Administrator, NRC Region II, 101

Marietta Street, N.W., Suite 2900,

Atlanta, Georgia 30323.

If a hearing is requested, the

Commission will issue an Order

designating the time and place of the

hearing. If the Licensee fails to request

a hearing within 30 days of the date of

this Order (or if written approval of an

extension of time in which to request a

hearing has not been granted), the

provisions of this Order shall be

effective without further proceedings. If

payment has not been made by that

time, the matter may be referred to the

Attorney General for collection.

In the event the Licensee requests a

hearing as provided above, the issues to

be considered at such hearing shall be:
