UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D. C. 20555 January 6,
1987 Steven P.
Katz Coalition for Alternatives to Shearon Harris 237 McCauley Street Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27614
Dear Mr. Katz:
I am pleased to respond to your letter dated November 11, 1986, and to inform you of the current status of the 10 CFR 2.206 petition which the Coalition for Alternatives to Shearon Harris submitted to us on October 17, 1986.
In accordance with our policies, we did an initial screening review of the allegations stated in the petition and determined that they were not safety significant.
This determination was made before issuino the Carolina Power II'ight Company a low power license on October 24, 1986.
As you are already
- aware, the NRC Region II Office also promptly contacted your organization in October to arrange a confidential meeting with the anonymous alleger referred to in the 2.206 petition.
On Wednesday, December 10, 1986, I met with Mr. Wells Eddleman and two representa-tives of your organization, Mr. Billy Cummings and Ms. Jacquelin W. Scarbrough, to discuss the proposed granting of a full power license f'r Shearon Harris and the above mentioned 10 CFR 2.206 petition.
The minutes of the December 10, 1986 meeting, which have been placed in the public document
- rooms, are enclosed for your information.
During the meeting, I indicated that I would look into the procedures the staff was following in the investigation of the items raised in the petition.
I also stressed that it would be very helpful to the investi-gation if the alleger met face-to-face with the NRC investigators so that a
clear understanding could be gained of the allegations.
In addition, I stated that I had been considering making a site visit to the Shearon Harris site during the December 17-18, 1986 time period.
Since December 10, 1986, I have inquired into the investigation procedures and I have been informed that the investigation is being conducted in accordance with our policies and should be completed in the near future.
On December 18, 1986, I visited the Shearon Harris site and met with several Carolina Power II Light (CPAL) officials to discuss the operational readiness of the plant.
During my visit, I also examined and discussed, with other members of the NRC staff, the allegations stated in the petition.
Two members of CASH, Mr. Billy Cummings and Ms. Susan
- Summers, also visited and toured the plant that same day.
CPAL has committed to test certain components which were addressed in your petition.
These tests are presently being conducted by CP8L and are beinq reviewed by the NRC staff to assure that the +acility has been constructed in accordance with the NRC rules and regulations.
