Dear Mr. Neal:
PPAS AJohnson I am pleased to respond to your letter dated July 20, 1986, which Mr. Denton referred to me.
In your letter, you expressed certain concerns regarding the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant.
Specifically, you are concerned about the "horrendous safety record in past operations."
You also feel that a "real evacuation will be a most difficult procedure to implement, given the peculiarities of the region."
You also requested that the NRC "impel C.P.8L.

Neal Route 9, Box 429 Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27514 In regard to your concern about the safety record at the Shearon Harris Plant, an NRC resident inspector has been at the plant since July 1980, and at least two resident inspectors have been at the site since November 1983.
There are presently three inspectors at the plant.
During this period of inspection, no major safety concerns were identified; neither was there any kind of escalated enforcement action required which would be the case if significant safety deficiencies were identified.
Regarding a possible exemption from the requirement to conduct an exercise within one year prior to full power authorization, the staff is currently reviewing CP8L's request.
- However, by letter dated May 2, 1986, CP8L committed to conduct a partial participation exercise with participation by Lee, Harnett, Chatham and Wake counties, which is scheduled for October 1986.
If you would like more information concerning the implementation of the emergency plan for the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant, the North Carolina State Emergency Plan in support of the Shearon Harris plant, CPLLs Corporate Emergency Plan, and the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant Emergency Plan are all located at the local public document r'oom at the Wake County.Public Library, Fayetteville Street,
- Raleigh, North Carolina.
I hope that the above discussion has been responsive to your concerns.
Sincerely, art C.
