December 27, 2006 Mr. Barry Jacobs, Chair Orange County Board of Commissioners Post Office Box 8181 200 South Cameron Street Hillsborough, NC 27278
Dear Mr. Jacobs:
Thank you for your letter dated November 27, 2006, to Doug Pickett, of my staff. Your letter provided additional clarifications to the letter dated October 16, 2006, from the Orange County Board of Commissioners, which was addressed to the Executive Director for Operations for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and expressed concerns relating to: 1) the adequacy of emergency planning during a radiological emergency, and 2) compliance with the existing federal fire safety standards and regulations at the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant. Specifically, the Orange County Board of Commissioners submitted the following resolutions:
A Resolution Calling for Coordinated Emergency Management and Evacuation Planning Within the 50-Mile Radius Ingestion Pathway for Potential Discharge of Airborne Nuclear Waste Material from the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant, and A Resolution in Support of an Emergency Petition to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission by the NC Waste Awareness and Reduction Network, the Union of Concerned Scientists, the Nuclear Information and Research Service, NC Fair Share and Students United for a Responsible Global Environment Seeking Regulatory Action by the Commission to Enforce Existing Fire Protection Standards and Regulations Applicable to the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant.
As requested in your November 27, 2006, letter, the NRC will include the Orange County Board of Commissioners on distribution for related NRC correspondence with the main petitioners concerning their request. We also acknowledge that the Orange County Board of Commissioners supports the request that the NRC hold field hearings or public meetings regarding this petition in the vicinity of the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant.
Please note that I provided a response to your resolution concerning emergency preparedness in my letter dated November 27, 2006, to the Orange County Board of Commissioners.
However, as requested in your letter, the resolution will be treated as a statement in support of the 2.206 petition.
B. Jacobs December 27, 2006 If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Chandu Patel, of my staff, at (301) 415-3025.
Sincerely,
/RA/
