The break-in happened between last Thursday at 10 p.m. and Friday at 8:15 a.m. After breaking out a rear window, the thief unsuccessfully attempted to remove the car's stereo system and damaged both the AM/FM ra dio and rear speakers.

CP&L To Pay $75,000 NRC Fine For Slow Response To Problems Carolina Power & Light Co. has no plans to contcst a 575,000 civil penalty proposed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff for al leged violation of NRC require ments at the Brunswick Nuclear PlanL The fine has been proposed, ac cording to the NRC, because the company failed in 1988 and early 1989 to promptly identify and cor rect two deficiencies in the plant's service water system that could af fect its ability to function. Neither deficiency posed a major risk, ac cording to both CP&L and the NRC. During an emergency, the ser vice water system provides cooling for both safely and non-safety-relat ed components to assure adequate cooling water for safety-related equipment. Other systems supply water directly to the reactor core. The NRC said the company failed to recognize the danger that could arise from the equipment problems and dien was slow to cor rect them after being alerted by the NRC. The base civil penalty for the vio lation is $50,000. However, the NRC said it was being increased by 50 percent to $75,000 in this case bccausc the full scope of the prob lem was identified by the NRC after it questioned CP&L's evaluation. The NRC indicated plant person nel should have been more aggres sive in problem solving and better identifying the underlying causes of the problem. This is not the first instance in which the plant has had difficulties in finding "root causes" for prob lems. "Problem solving, or root cause analysis, has been one of the major areas of focus at the plant over the last two years," said Russell Starkey, vice president of the Brunswick Nuclear Project. The plant has made improvements have been made In ihis aica since uic events occurred that led loathe vio lation and civil penalty, he contin ued, and continued improvement is expected. The plant's resident NRC inspec tor first raised concerns about the system in February 1988, with questions about the company's han dling of an issue involving electrical relays. The relays are associated with a valve which would be used to isolate non-safcty-rclated compo nents during a hypothetical emer gency. After the question came up several more times, the agency said the company incorrectly determined that there was no reason to be con cerned about the ability of the sys tem to function as it should in an emergency. Then, on Aug. 6, 1988, service water pump motors were identified as operating at high "winding" tem peratures. The overheating resulted because airflow to coll the insulated windings was restricted. ' The NRC said planned corrective action was not timely, as indicated by the failure of one of the motors on April 29. 1989. While CP&L has 30 days in which to either pay the penalty or protest it, a news release from the company indicated it had no plans m rnntcst the fine.
