U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 2 of 3 Serial HNP-14-017 Ladies and Gentlemen, On March 12, 2012, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued Order EA-12-051 (Reference 1). Reference 1 was immediately effective and directs Duke Energy to have a reliable indication of water level in associated spent fuel storage pools. Specific requirements are outlined in Attachment 2 of Reference 1.

Reference 1 required submission of an initial status report 60 days following issuance of the final interim staff guidance (Reference 2) and an overall integrated plan pursuant to Section IV, Condition C. Reference 2 endorses industry guidance document NEI 12-02, Revision 1 (Reference 3), with clarifications and exceptions identified in Reference 2. Reference 4 provided the Duke Energy initial status report regarding spent fuel pool instrumentation. Reference 5 provided the Duke Energy overall integrated plan.

Reference 1 required submission of a status report at six-month intervals following submittal of the overall integrated plan. Reference 3 provides direction regarding the content of the status reports. Reference 6 provided the first six-month status report for Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant, Unit 1 (HNP). The purpose of this letter is to provide the second six-month status report pursuant to Section IV, Condition C.2, of Reference 1, that delineates progress made in implementing the requirements of Reference 1. The enclosed report provides an update since the last status report, including any changes to the compliance method, schedule, or need for relief and the basis, if any.

By Letter dated November 19, 2013 (Reference 7), the NRC staff provided an Interim Staff Evaluation (ISE) which included a Request for Additional Information (RAI) to HNP. In Reference 7, the NRC staff indicated that Duke Energy should provide the information requested in the 6-month status updates, as the information becomes available, with all information to be provided by September 30, 2014. This 6-month status update contains no RAI responses.

This letter contains no new Regulatory Commitments and no revision to existing Regulatory Commitments.

Should you have any questions regarding this submittal, please contact Dave Corlett at (919) 362-3137.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.

Executed on February 27, 2014.

Sincerely, Sean T. O'Connor
