CAROLINA POWER 8, LIGHT COMPANY SHEARON HARRIS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT MANAGEMENT CAPABILITY REPORT
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Since the first nuclear generating unit belonging to Carolina Power 8, Light Company
("the Company" or
<<CP8,L")
began commercial operation in March
- 1971, the amount of generating capacity on the Company 's system derived from nuclear power has increased substantially.
Accordingly, the Company 's responsibilities in connection with its nuclear facilities have grown.
During this period of time, the Company has developed and enhanced its capabilities with respect to the construction, operation, and maintenance of its nuclear facilities.
The Company has safely managed H. B. Robinson Unit 2, and Brunswick Units 1 and 2 since they were placed into operation approximately 14, 7, and 8 years ago, respectively.
The Company also managed the construction of the Brunswick facility and is in the process of constructing the Harris Plant, which is 84 percent complete.
The anticipated commercial operation date the of Harris Plant is spring of 1986.
The Company has always
- been, and will continue to be, totally committed to safety and quality in the construction and operation of our nuclear facilities.
The Company has reorganized its management structure several times during the past 12 years to accommodate and better manage the increased nuclear capacity and additional associated personnel.
The most recent reorganization, announced on September 1,
1983, reflects the strengths developed and lessons learned from the Company 's operating experience as well as from the experiences of the rest of the nuclear utility industry.
It focuses the authority and responsibility tor operation, engineering and construction under one individual at each of CP8,L's three nuclear plant sites.
In addition, it ties many of the related offsite nuclear support organizations to the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant (SHNPP) and H. B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant (HBR) plant organizations and places them under one individual, the Senior Vice President Nuclear Generation.
The Vice President, Brunswick Nuclear Project (BNP),
who presently reports directly to the Executive Vice President, Power Supply 8, Engineering and Construction, also benefits from the support services that are under the management control of the Senior Vice President Nuclear Generation.
The Company expects to bring the Brunswick Nuclear Project under the management control of the Senior Vice President Nuclear Generation at some point in the future.
There are three major support organizations which do not report to the Senior Vice President Nuclear Generation.
These are Corporate Nuclear Safety 8,
- Research, Corporate Quality Assurance, and Operations Training 8, Technical Services.
Each of these departments is composed of General Office personnel to ensure independence from and uniformity among the plants, and on-site personnel to ensure that plant-specific issues are adequately addressed.
The independence provided by this staffing arrangement is required by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission
("NRC") for the Corporate Nuclear Safety 8, Research and the Corporate Quality Assurance Departments.
We have also chosen to separate the support functions of the Operations Training and Technical Services (7390SNP)
Department, and other support organizations from the direct line supervision of the Nuclear Generation Group to enable the Senior Vice President Nuclear Generation to focus primarily upon the coordination of the engineering, construction, and operations activities at the Harris and Robinson Nuclear Projects.
The technical support functions of the Operations Training and Technical
- Services, and Fuel Departments, and the service functions of the Materials Management Department, and the Contract Services Section are now under the direction of the Senior Vice President Operations Support Group.
The concentration of these support functions within a single group enables the Senior Vice President - Operations Support to coordinate these resources to best filI the needs of the respective nuclear projects.
Additional operations and maintenance support functions are provided by the Generation Operation and Maintenance, and Maintenance Support Sections of the Fossil Generation and Power Transmission Group.
Having these support functions as part of the Fossil Generation and Power Transmission Group enables the Senior Vice President - Fossil Generation and Power Transmission to coordinate these resources for scheduled and forced outages at the nuclear and fossil generating facilities on a priority basis.
The present organization of the Company 's management of nuclear activities is described
- below, beginning with the Executive Vice President who is ultimately responsible for the Company's nuclear activities, down through the individual nuclear project and support group organizations.
The descriptions provided in Section 2.0 delineate the assignment of authority and responsibility within the line organizations at the plant sites and demonstrate the functional relationships between these line organizations and the support group organizations.
1-2 (7390SNP)
2.0 MANAGEMENT OF NUCLEAR ACTIVITIES The Company 's nuclear projects are supported by an extensive organization that provides expertise in a variety of areas.
For the most part, the departments and organizations engaged in nuclear activities have no responsibility for non-nuclear matters.
This philosophy ensures that the Company's nonnuclear activities will not divert appropriate management attention from the conduct of its nuclear activities.
The Corporate support for nuclear activities is managed by Mr. E.
E. Utley, Executive Vice President - Power Supply and Engineering 8, Construction Groups who reports to Mr. Sherwood H. Smith, Jr.,
President/Chairman.
Reporting to Mr. Utley are five officers and a department manager w~se organizations further subdivide technical and managerial support into six areas:
Mr. M. A. McDuffie, Senior Vice President - Nuclear Generation Group; Mr. P.
W. Howe, Vice President Brunswick Nuclear Project Department; Dr. T. S. Elleman, Vice President' Corporate Nuclear Safety and Research Department; Mr. H. R. Banks, Manager - Corporate Quality Assurance Department; Mr. J.
M. Davis, Jr.,
Senior Vice President Operations Support Group; and Mr. L.
W. Eury, Senior Vice President - Fossil Generation and Power Transmission Group (see Figure 1).
The Corporate Nuclear Safety and Research Department conducts the independent safety evaluation of nuclear operations, and the corporate health physics programs.
The Vice President Corporate Nuclear Safety 8, Research is the Company officer who oversees these functions.
The formal oversight mechanisms are described in Section 3.3.
The Corporate Quality Assurance (CQA) Department is responsible for providing quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) with respect to the Company's nuclear activities, including engineering, construction, and operations.
In
- addition, the CQA Department is responsible for QA audit functions.
This department was formed in early 1981 to provide more efficient and effective QA/QC within the Company by consolidating the QA/QC functions.
Placing the responsibility for independent nuclear safety assessments, health physics assessment, and quality assurance oversight functions in organizations separate from the Nuclear Generation and Operations Support Groups provides effective mechanisms for ensuring independent assessments by Senior Management of how well these programs are working.
These technical staff resources and Senior Management oversight mechanisms are described in detail in Sections 3.7 and 3.3, respectively.
The major offsite support organization for nuclear operations is the Nuclear Generation
- Group, which includes the Nuclear Engineering 8, Licensing Department support staff, the Nuclear Plant Construction Department support staff, the Engineering and Construction Support Services Department support
- staff, and the Nuclear Staff Support Section support staff.

The Nuclear Generation Group provides a source of offsite technical and managerial resources to assist and support the operating plants in areas of nuclear licensing, civil design, instrumentation and controls, computers, mechanical,-
electrical, nuclear engineering, metallurgical analysis, construction, operations, and industrial security.
The concentration of the above listed offsite nuclear generation activities in organizational groups separate from the nuclear safety and quality assurance activities provides a strong, independent management focus on safe and reliable nuclear operations support.
Offsite management in the Nuclear Generation Group is organized to minimize conflict among the engineering, construction, and operation activities at the respective nuclear facilities.
The Operations Support Group provides offsite technical and managerial support to the nuclear plants'n the areas of environmental and radiatio'n control, emergency planning, training and retraining, plant chemistry and radiochemistry, regulatory compliance, outside contractural supervision, operational management, environmental monitoring, meteorological and seismic monitoring, permits, nuclear fuel procurement, refueling operations
- support, and plant procurement support.
The Fossil Generation and Power Transmission
- Group, including the Fossil Generation Department, and the Maintenance Support
- Section, provide operating and maintenance support staff.
Figure 5 outlines the offsite support organization of the Nuclear Generation Group, Operations Support Group, and the Corporate Quality Assurance Department.
The offsite organization for the Corporate Nuclear Safety and Research Department is shown on Figure 6.
The Fossil Generation
& Power, Transmission Group is shown on Figure l.
The Company has established clear lines of responsibility and effective mechanisms for coordination among the Nuclear Generation Group, the Operations Support Group, and the Fossil Generation 8, Power Transmission Group.
This coordination ensures that independent management attention to each of these support activities complements and strengthens the total attention to offsite support of the nuclear projects.
Resources of each of the units or sections shown are available to the plants or other units as needed.
Routine lines of communication exist between the personnel of each offsite unit and their appropriate counterparts at each nuclear project.
Support of each nuclear project is the function of the offsite organization, and assistance requested by the plants is routinely provided without a requirement for formal management action.
In the event that high level coordination is required for some projects, the Section managers maintain frequent communication, and the Department Manager of the respective Nuclear Project is kept fully informed.
The Company 's offsite management ls well qualif led to direct the design, construction,
- startup, and operation of the Harris Nuclear Project.
The Company has continuously increased its offsite management involvement in nuclear plant design, construction, and operations since
- 1966, when the Robinson Nuclear Project commenced, to the present.
Currently, four nuclear units are under Company construction or operations management.
.2-2 (7390SNP)
The Company offsiie management is experienced in coordinating complex nuclear operations which require close coordination between the construction and operating work forces.
An example of these types of activities was the startup and operation of Brunswick Unit 2 while Brunswick Unit I was still under construction, with security separation of common control rooms.
This experience, as well as its additional experience in constructing the Harris plant while operating three other nuclear units, demonstrates the Company 's capability to safely manage all of its nuclear activities simultaneously.
These management resources are described in more detail in the following sections.
The Executive Vice President Power Supply and Engineering 8 Construction
- Groups, Mr. E.
E. Utley, manages ail nuclear activities.
Mr. Utley has 31 years of experience with the Company, including serving as superintendent of three plants for over 'six years, and as Manager, Vice President, Senior Vice President, and Executive Vice President of various Power Supply, Operations, and Engineering and Construction activities for the past Fifteen years.

- engineer, has four years of experience in the U. S. Marine Corps, and thirteen years of experience in nuclear power plant engineering and safety review.
The Section is composed of a Nuclear Safety Review Unit (offsite) and three On-site Nuclear Safety (ONS) Units, one at each project site.
The CNS Section monitors the Company 's operating nuclear plants to ensure that the associated nuclear safety programs are carried out in an effective manner.
Independent Review (IR) and Independent Safety Engineering Group (ISEG) functions make up the primary areas of the CNS Section's responsibilities.
The CNS organization consists of over 30 professionals allocated among four units - one offsite in the General Office and one at each of the Company 's three nuclear projects.
The Nuclear Safety Review Unit is responsible for the IR program as well as for providing general evaluations of safety related systems.
The CNS independent review activity addresses The following:

Procedures and changes meeting 10 CFR 50.59 review criteria, Licensing actions, Test or experiments not described in the facility FSAR, P.lant operational occurrences (LERs),
Regulatory violations (IE Reports),
Technical Specification
- changes, Plant Nuclear Safety Committee (PNSC) meeting minutes, and Any item deemed appropriate for review relative to safe operations.
2-19 (7390SNP )
Required reviews are processed in the manner described below:
Safety related. items are evaluated by the responsible members of the respective plant staffs.
If the item contains an unreviewed safety question, technical specification
- change, FSAR change, or is deemed safety-significant by the Plant General Manager, it is forwarded to the CNS Section for independent review.
Upon receipt, the item is logged in and sent to the NSR Director who forwards it to the Principal Engineer Independent Review for assignment.
Depending upon the extent of the item and the disciplines or areas involved, the package is assigned to one or more of the Project Engineers in the IR Subunit.
Considerations to be included in the review are specified along with the time frame in which the review is to be completed.
'arith respect to both time and detail, the Project Engineer has a significant amount of latitude in carrying out the assignment.
Sometimes additional details that need to be considered are uncovered in the review, or a given review may produce unforeseen complexities that require more time than first estimated.
In these instances, the scope and time are adjusted as necessary with the concurrence of the Principal Engineer.
Once the assignment is completed, the comments are documented and the package is sent to the Principal Engineer for concurrence.
The Principal Engineer evaluates the
- package, and if satisfied, sends it to the Director Nuclear Safety Review for final approval and filing.
If not satisfied, the Principal Engineer returns the package to the reviewer with specific comments that must be addressed before ii may be approved.
For each item reviewed, at least three signatures of qualified individuals are required to show that the items have been adequately evaluated.
The final signature is normally the Director-Nuclear Safety Review.
In all cases where technical specification changes are submitted to the NRC or where a modification or test constitutes an unreviewed safety question, formal approval must be obtained from CNS prior to implementation.
In the case of modifications or tests which do not constitute unreviewed safety questions, an approval memorandum is required, but the work can proceed before receipt.
Formal approvals are issued over the signature of the Manager CNS.
If a specific item cannot be fully closed out, yet the open element(s) does not constitute an immediate safety
- problem, a "follow-up item" may be issued.
In these cases the review item is closed out and a specific follow-up document is initiated to trace and eventually close out the long-term open issue.
These follow-up items may be generated by any CNS Unit; are serialized,
- updated, and closed out in a time frame consistent with their priority.
The respective Unit Director reviews the status of outstanding items to assure they are being handled in a timely manner.
Most items are resolved via direct contact between the CNS Engineers and the appropriate individuals on the plant staff.
however, if such efforts are not successful and it is determined that further act ion is required to enhance plant safety, a formal concern or recommendation is issued.
A recommendation results from a decision that a specific course of action is desired to improve nuclear safety margins.
A concern is raised when the course of action is unspecified but an identified deficiency requires resolution to improve nuclear safety margins.
Formal correspondence describing the concern or recommendation is initiated and sent to the appropriate Manager in the nuclear organization
.for resolution.
Target dates for resolution and final corrective 2-20 (7390SNP)
action are established consistent with the safety implications.
If the problem is 'of immediate safety concern, it is verbally communicated to the Plant General Manager and respective Nuclear Project Manager for prompt resolution.
Additional reports to Senior Management are discussed in Section 3.3.
A significant number of the items reviewed in the IR program are Licensee Event Reports (LERs).
These LERs are examined for safety implications, accuracy of root cause identification, and adequacy of corrective action to prevent recurrence.
Repetitive events are examined closely for safety significance and proper corrective actions.
Trends of LERs relative to equipment, procedure, and personnel deficiencies are also examined to highlight areas which may need attention.
The second major responsibility of the NSR Unit is the evaluation of plant safety-related systems to assess overall performance.
This activity is carried out by gathering and compiling data generated by tests, modifications, and repairs of the system; conducting interviews with operators; reviewing industry practice and integrating this information into an overall performance summary.
Reports are issued providing the nuclear operations personnel with an oui line of the evaluation, conclusions, and any appropriate recommendations and/or concerns.
The NSR Unit also monitors unresolved safety issues and is developing capabilities in the transient analysis area.
The main thrust of these programs is to act as the primary technical contact on key generic issues affecting the operation of the Company's nuclear plants and to gain the in-house ability to thoroughly evaluate and resolve issues insofar as practicable.
On-site Nuclear Safety Units fulfill the role of the ISEG as outlined in NUREG-0737.
These units are located at each CP8L nuclear plant site and have a relatively high degree of flexibility in carrying out their tasks.
Major functions included in the ISEG role are:
a ~
b.
co d.
e.
Operating experience feedback
- program, Procedures and modification reviews, Evaluation of transients and safety system challenges, Direct observation of plant activities, and Special investigations.
The operating experience feedback function consists of screening assigned documents tor applicability to the plant.
Documents such as plant reports, NRC issuances, Company reports generated external to the plant, and industry assessments of operating experience are included in the system.
The ONS Unit determines if an Itenf is applicable and then routes it to the appropriate plant personnel and specifies whatever action is to be taken.
A document control system is used to ensure proper action.
As opposed to the 10 CFR 50.59 procedures and modifications review conducted by the NSR Unit, the task carried out by ONS under this heading is directed toward an "in-line" technical adequacy check.
Emphasis is placed on identifying programmatic deficiencies and establishing a good feedback loop to ensure that corrections are applied tothe procedure/modification development 2-21 (7390SNP)

process.
The same focus is placed on the assessment of plant transients and safety system challenges, i.e.,
"real time" assessments that thoroughly address the initiating events and apply the lessons learned.
In the routine conduct of CNS Section activities, informal contacts are required throughout the Operations Groups of the Company.
The Section's members are unrestricted in making these contacts and have the organizational freedom, authority, and independence to contact any person regarding safety matters.
Other than members of the nuclear project organizations, frequent contacts are made with the support functions in the Nuclear Engineering and Licensing Department, Nuclear Plant Construction Department, Fuel Department, Operations Training and Technical Services Department, and the Nuclear Staff Support Section.

The Maintenance Support Section was created in 1982 and reports to the Senior Vice President Fossil Generation and Power Transmission.
The Maintenance Support Section provides support to the maintenance programs at the Company's operating power generating plants.
These support functions include assisting in coordinating the scheduling of generating equipment outages with the System Operations Department and providing maintenance manpower and technical support to each nuclear plant.
Each area superintendent maintains close communication with the maintenance supervisors at the generating plants in his assigned area in order to remain aware'f their requirements for maintenance support.
The schedule for crews and specialists to work at various plants is approved by the Section Manager.
Ii is based on input from the area superintendents and the planning and scheduling personnel at the operating plants.
In determining the schedule, special emphasis is placed on how critical the work is and on the priority of the unit for system generation.
When necessary, personnel from all three geographic areas may work at a particular plant in order to provide as much of the outside requirements for manpower, supervision, and technical support as possible.
2-40 (7390SNP)
II
The outage coordinating function for the Maintenance Support Section is performed by an operations engineer who obtains data for plant equipment outage requirements on long-term, short-term, and emergency bases.
These equipment outage requirements are developed and used to coordinate with the System Operations Oepartment for the planning and scheduling of long-term and short-term outages.
The data are also used to provide a basis for minimizing the length of emergency outages while meeting the system power requirements.
Approximately 226 craftsmen, 20 foremen, and 6 technical specialists fulfill the maintenance manpower function.
The crews and specialists are based at three strategic locations in the northern,
- eastern, and southern areas of the Company
- system, and report to an area superintendent.
Each crew is equipped with a van-type trailer which is moved to the plant site where the crew is assigned and which contains the foreman's office, crews'ockers, work
- benches, and special tools.
Effective September 1,
1983, the Maintenance Support Section assumed responsibility for the coordination of manpower requirements, including the use of contractors for scheduled plant outages.

The Environmental and Radiation Control Manager and Radiation Control Supervisor qualifications will be reviewed against the criteria of Regulatory Guide 1.8 to ensure that appropriate standards are met.
3.2 HARRIS PRE-STARTUP PREPARATION As a result aware of the management a
orderly tran a ~
of the experience gained at Robinson and Brunswick, The Company is value of early pre-startup planning for Harris Unit 1.
Several ctions have been taken with the objective of effecting a smooth, sition from construction through startup to operations:
The construction schedule reflects CP&L's consideration of plant startup requirements.
Both Release for Test (RFT) and Final System Turnover (FST) schedules have been developed jointly by the Startup and Test Unit, Harris Plant Engineering
- Section, and Harris Plant Construction Section which defines a sequence and timing of each RFT and FST turnover to the Testing organization which will support an orderly testing process.
The various buildings and piping systems have been scheduled in a manner that will permit'he early involvement of the startup organization.
This will allow a leveling of the startup manpower requirements and will permit the startup and testing of the entire system to begin as early as practicable.
As equipment and systems are completed, they are transferred to the Startup and Test Unit which functions as a construction test organization to implement the component testing and initial operation program.
The RFT and FST turnovers represent a transfer of jurisdiction but does not transfer responsibility for work that is normally performed by the Harris Plant Construction Section (i.e.,
work identified on plant design documents and punch lists).
All work performed by the Harris Plant Construction Section and ihe Harris Plant Operations Section Maintenance Unit after release to the Startup and Test Unit will be controlled in accordance with the Startup Manual.
The RFT process allows initial operations,
- flushing, and hydro testing to begin on a partial system basis.
Prior to performing the system preoperational test a formal FST of
- systems, components, facilities and structures is accomplished until eventually all plant systems, components, facilities, and structures have been formally released to the Harris P lant Operations Section.
The Startup and Test Unit functionally reports to the Harris Plant Operations Section but is matrixed to the Harris Plant Construction Section such that the same test group directs all phases of equipment and system testing.
Similarly, the complete jurisdictional transfer of electrical systems and components is accomplished through a series of RFT
.and formal FST turnovers until eventually all plant electrical systems and components have been formally released to the Harris Plant Operations Section.
The construction schedule places emphasis on early completion of those common portions of the building which contain the control room and the cable spread 3-3 (7390SNP)
rooms.
The intent is to construct these faci I ities as soon as possible in order to ai low instal lation of the relay racks and control boards in the cable spread room and control room.
- Again, releasing startup and test work as early as possible will provide the maximum amount of time for an orderly transition to the operating phase.
b.
Another construction management action has been taken with respect to scheduling in order to facilitate an orderly test program and startup of the plant.
Because facilities to house the Startup and Test Unit were completed in the early phases of construction, the Startup Engineers were able to become involved in the day-to-day construction of the various systems for,which they are responsible.
This early assignment of onsite startup personnel will enhance their familiarity with the plant and its systems when they ultimately write preoperational and startup test procedures.
The familiarity gained will minimize problems usually experienced during the turnover of systems, components, facilities, and structures.
co Beginning in I979, boundaries of the systems detailed in the individual RFT packages were defined.
This assists the Harris Plant Construction Section in accomplishing the sequential completion and turnover of systems to the Startup and Test Unit.
The establishment of system boundaries also permits Quality Assurance personnel to collect, check and package documentation in volumes that are grouped according to system boundaries in preparation for future FSTs.
d.
The organization at the Harris Nuclear Project has been structured-so that there are fewer organizations involved in the RFT/FST process than typically seen in a project of this size.
Therefore, the process of system completion and checkout by the Harris Construction Section and QA/QC Section, and release to the Harris Plant Operations Section is shorter.
This results in a more efficient turnover system.
The onsite QA/QC Section performs in-process inspections and surveillances during construction, component testing, and initial operation testing after RFT.
As.individual systems or portions of systems are completed, the onsite QA/QC Section performs final system inspections.
Any nonconforming or incomplete work is identified and documented for resolution.
Subsequent inspections are performed to,ensure proper resolution of nonconformances and incomplete work.
Any outstanding work (e.g.,
incomplete work or a nonconformance) is identified in the FST package as exceptions.
The FST package is then forwarded to the Harris Plant Operations Section for acceptance.
The Harris QA/QC Section will continue to provide coverage for any additional work (e.g.,
resolution of exceptions) performed by the Harris Plant Construction Section subsequent to system turnover. After system
- turnover, the Harris QA/QC Section will continue to provide QA/QC coverage of the testing, operation, and maintenance activities performed by the Harris Plant Operations Section.

As an aid in developing complete RFT and FST turnover
- packages, a Material Trackin S stem has been created for pipe spool,
- hanger, and electrical cable installation.
The purpose of this System is to track the status of these bulk items from their delivery through installation and subsequent release to the Startup and Test Unit group in a consistent and efficient manner.
A secondary reason for creating this system was to establish a
common data base from which the status of material can be determined by all functional groups.
Construction Control S stem - This module of the Material Tracking System consists of an on-line computerized system with a common data base from which the engineering, construction, quality assurance, and operations (startup) sections can extract pertinent data relative to the status of material during the erection, inspection, RFT testing, and FST phases of the project.
One major component of the Construction Control System is a tracking system which provides the status of systems for startup and testing.
Additional components include:
a ~
Startup Work List This component was implemented in 1982 and is the master punch list ot remaining work on systems at the time of final system turnover to the Harris Plant Operations Section for preoperational testing.
The list is subdivided by system.
It includes FST exceptions, work items identified after FST as a
result of testing, and Construction Work Request/Authorizations (CWRA) issued after FST.
b.
Field Change Request (FCR)/Design Change Notice (DCN) Tracking System This system was implemented in 1983 and tracks the status of field initiated design changes (FCRs and A/E initiated DCNs).
The system also provides a cross reference between FCRs/DCNs and Release for Test boundaries to aid in completion of systems for RFT.
Co Mechanical Status Reporting System This interim component of the Construction Control System was implemented in 1979 and converted to an on-line status in June 1981.
The system tracks the status of piping spools,
- hangers, restraints, and valves.
Ii is currently being updated to track entire RFT packages and related documents.
d.
Electrical Status Reporting System This interim component of the Construction Control System was approved and implemented in early 1981.
This system tracks the status of cables, cable
- trays, conduit, and terminations.
It is also designed to interface with the Architect Engineer's computerized Cable Routing System which produces
- raceway, cable pull, and cable termination cards.
In September 1981, this system was also converted to an on-line system.
e.
Welder Qual Ification System A manually operated system for monitoring welder qualification was in operation from the time the Construction Permit was received until 1980.
The system was computerized in 1980.
It tracks the qualification status and 3-5 (7390SNP)
performance of each welder on the Harris Nuclear Project, and alerts project management when certifications of each welder is nearing expiration.
The Harris Nuclear Project Startup Manual addresses the plant startup program beginning with completion of construction (on a system or equipment basis) and continuing through completion of-the Power Test Program.
There are two major phases of activity as follows:
Construction Phase:
The Harris Plant Construction Section has responsibility for the plant during the period that begins with receipt of equipment on site and ends with final system turnover to the Harris Plant Operations Section.
Prep erational Startu Test Phase:
The Harris Plant Operations Section has responsibility for the plant during the period that commences with final system turnover though the completion of the Power Test Program.
The Startup Manual, Section 5, "Construction Completion Activities," is used by the Harris Plant Construction Section as a guide in performing necessary checks prior to releasing the equipment to the Startup Unit.
I The Startup
- Manual, Section 6, Construction/Startup Interface, describes procedures and controls between the Harris Plant Construction Section and the Startup and Test Unit for the release for test and final system turnover of equipment and systems.
After release of a system to the Startup and Test Unit, any work or other required modification will be processed through the responsible Startup Engineer or Supervisor and will continue to be performed by the Construction Section personnel as applicable.
The Company will be able to maintain adequate staffing of the Harris Plant Construction Section as a
result of the following factors:
'a ~
The peak manpower requirement for the mechanical and electrical crafts for the plant will have passed and the number of craftsmen will be reduced.
The Company will be in a position to retain those craftsmen with higher skill levels and on-site experience.
b.
The craftsmen retained wi I I be those
- who, in most cases, have made the initial equipment installation.
Their familiarity with the facility and other site-specific procedures, requirements, etc., will expedite future work.
The Harris plant is the fourth nuclear unit for which Company professional and technical personnel have participated in the construction and startup phase.
As construction continues on the plant, their level of expertise will rise.
3.3 SENIOR MANAGEMENT OVERSIGHT FUNCTIONS The Vice President Corporate Nuclear Safety and Research Department provides CP8,L's Senior Management, including the Chairman/President and the Board of Directors, with a continuing assessment of current nuclear safety programs.
If any nuclear safety or quality assurance issue requires immediate attention, the Vice President Corporate Nuclear Safety and Research has the authority and organizational freedom to contact anyone with the Company, including the 3-6 (7390SNP)
Chairman/President and the Board of Directors, in order to resolve such concern to his satisfaction.
Figure 7 shows these administrative channels and direct communications channels.
The Company 's policies with respect to nuclear safety and quality assurance are set forth in Exhibit 1
and IA.
The Vice President - Corporate Nuclear Safety and Research Department meets at least quarterly (and whenever matters requiring immediate attention dictate) with the managers of QA/QC at Brunswick, and Robinson and the Manager of the Corporate Quality Assurance Department to discuss safety and QA issues.
He also meets with the General Managers of the Brunswick and Robinson Plant Operations Sections and will begin to meet with the General Manager of the Harris Plant Section on a quarterly basis at an undertermined time in the future (see exhibit 2).
If the Vice President Corporate Nuclear Safety and Research is absent, or in the event he does not respond satisfactorily to a nuclear safety or quality assurance
- issue, each of the Managers and Directors listed in Figure 7 is required to communicate directly with the Chairman/President.
In addition, the Vice President of Corporate Nuclear Safety and Research meets approximately twice a year with the Company's Chairman/President to review actions related to nuclear safety at the plants and to present a nuclear safety summary (see Exhibit 3).
The Vice President - Corporate Nuclear Safety and Research makes an annual presentation to the Board of Directors on nuclear safety of the operating plants.
If the Vice President - Corporate Nuclear Safety and Research is not satisfied with the Chairman/President's response to a nuclear safety or quality assurance
- issue, he is directed to meet with a member of the Board of Directors to express his concerns (see exhibit I).
The Senior Management Oversight Function has proved to be an effective Senior Management feedback system which operates independently of normal administrative channels.
Those individuals within the Company who administer nuclear safety and quality assurance programs have written authority providing complete organizational freedom to perform their job functions.
A similar corporate policy exists with respect 'to health physics and radiation protection.
This policy statement describes the goals and objectives of the radiation protection programs and delineates mechanisms for senior management oversight (see exhibit 4).
Members of CP8,L's Senior Management routinely receive copies of major reports generated by the Corporate Nuclear Safety Section which enhances Senior Management Oversight.
These reports include a bimonthly summary of outstanding
- Items, a
summary of Licensee Event Report (I ER) trends by categories, and summaries of operating experience feedback and review activities.
As appropriate, detailed assessments of system performance may also be distributed to senior management.
The Corporate Nuclear Safety and Research Department may include recommendations in their report to Senior Management if a commitment for corrective acton does not appear to be sufficient to resolve a nuclear safety or quality assurance problem by the established target date.
Items of interest regarding safety are also summarized to keep senior management apprised of ongoing activities.
(7390SNP)
I
Members of Senior Management also receive copies of quality assurance audits.
An audit report includes the audit scope, participants,
- results, recommendations, comments; and details of nonconformances.
There are three terms used in audit reports:
<<findings," '~concerns,"
and "comments."
The terms "findings>> and "concerns" represent nonconformances which require documented corrective action for resolution.
A "comment" is a weakness which may present a potential problem and may not require documented corrective action.
The audit report is addressed to the Company President/Chairman, the Executive Vice President Power Supply and Engineering 8, Construction, and The Senior Vice President Nuclear Generation, with copies to the department,
- section, or unit which was audited.
Within 30 days after receipt of the
- report, the department,
- section, or unit audited must formally respond to the audit and provide the corrective action and schedule for resolving each finding.
The respective QA/QC Manager reviews these responses for adequacy and contacts the responsible department,
- section, or unit managers to resolve any problems.
In addition, the Corporate Quality Assurance Department forwards monthly reports containing the status of all quality assurance audits to Senior Management.
The key to the success of this audit program is that audit reports which identify deficiencies are sent to Senior Management at the same time they are sent to middle management.
Members of CPS,I 's Senior Management responsible for nuclear plant operations are keenly aware of all aspects of plant operations and keep abreast of any concerns that may affect nuclear safety.
On a daily basis, the Executive Vice President Power Supply and Engineering 8, Construction receives written reports on the status of operating units, load reductions, and reasons for those reductions.
Through direct discussions and staff meetings, the Senior Vice President Nuclear Generation and the Vice President - Brunswick Nuclear Project keep the Executive Vice President - Power Supply and Engineering 8,
Construction advised of any significant concerns affecting the nuclear plants.
On a periodic basis, the Executive Vice President Power Supply and Engineering 8, Construction Groups," the Senior V,ice President Nuclear Generation meet at the operating nuclear projects to review matters 'related to nuclear, project operations with plant management personnel.
3.4 COORDINATION OF INTERDEPARTMENTAL TECHNICAL STAFF SUPPORT Responsibility for coordination of technical staff resources for supporting the nuclear project is shared between the Senior Vice Presidents of the Nuclear Generation Group, the Operations Support Group, and the Fossil Generation and Power Transmission Group.
Written memoranda define each department's functional responsibilities for support activities.
During routine operations, when a Nuclear Project Department requires technical assistance, the respective plant section or unit manager initiates a
written Task Assistance Request (TAR), and forwards it to the respective nuclear support department.
Typically, the Nuclear Plant Engineering and Licensing Department is requested by the Nuclear Project Department to provide engineering assistance to resolve a plant design problem.
The Nuclear Engineering and Licensing Department performs the necessary engineering and recommends a solution to the Nuclear Project Department.
The modifications 3-8 (7390SNP)
are designed to comply with the requirements of the Corporate QA Program, the plant techncial specifications, and to other appropriate design codes.
Modifications may be installed by the Nuclear Project Department or by the Nuclear Plant Construction Department if the Nuclear Project Department so requests.
All modifications to the operating plant are approved by the appropriate persons in the Nuclear Project Department prior to installation.
Similar interdepartmental responsibilities exist among the Nuclear Engineering and Licensing Department, Fuel Department, Operations Training and Technical Services Department, and Nuclear Project Departments.
The delegation of responsibilities is designed to ensure that nuclear refuelings and spent fuel movements are coordinated
- properly, nuclear licensing interface with NRC is coordinated with the plants, and that meteorological, seismological, and environmental monitoring programs are carried out as required by the operating license for each unit.
If situations arise at nuclear projects requiring immediate technical staff
- support, the respective Vice President or Manager - Nuclear Project Department may request immediate assistance from appropriate department heads throughout the Company or from outside contractors and vendors, if necessary.
3.5 BRUNSWICK IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM The Company 's effort to improve operations at the Brunswick Nuclear Project is an example of the involvement and commitment of Management to the Company 's nuclear program.
These efforts have involved The establishment of goals for improvement in the areas of Health Physics, Maintenance, Operations, and Design Control.
Many of these efforts have shown positive results, and the Company is confident that the performance of Brunswick Units i and 2 will continue to improve significantly in future years.
Similar improvement programs are in place at both the Robinson and Harris Nuclear Projects.
The accomplishment of the goals established for each Nuclear Project will significantly enhance the overall nuclear program of the Company.
3.6 INVOLVEMENT IN INDUSTRY ACTIVITIES
A further indication of the Company 's commitment to its nuclear program is the degree of its industry involvement in major industry activities.
The Company actively participates in and supports industry groups such as the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO), the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI),
the Westinghouse Pressurized Water Reactor Owners 'roup, and the GE Boiling Water Reactor Owners'roup.
3.7 TECHNICAL STAFF RESOURCES The functional organization of the various groups which support nuclear operations is described in Section 2.0.
Within this organization are personnel with the training, experience, and expert'ise to ensure that technical capability is maintained in the following areas:
- Nuclear, mechanical, structural, electrical, thermal-hydraulics, and fluid systems b.
Metallurgy and materials; instrumentation and controls engineering 3-9 (7390SNP)

Fire protection k.
Emergency Preparedness The distribution of areas of expertise and responsibility within the functional organization is depicted on Figure 4.
ln order to demonstrate the staff personnel resources in a clear and concise
- manner, a figure and several tables are provided.
Figure 8 shows authorized and actual-staffing levels for professional employees (Category II), including degreed engineers.
Table 3-2 shows the total number of college graduates within the nuclear support organization.
Tables 3-3 and 3-4 list the number of Professional Engineers and Engineers in Training who support nuclear operations.
Table 3-5 depicts the number and distribution of individuals within the departments who have technical degrees.
The existence of these technical staff resources further demonstrates the Company's capability to properly support all of Its nuclear activities.
3.8 OFFSITE STAFF TRAINING The offsite technical support personnel receive training during the course of their performance of their daily responsibilities.
Written procedures for handling incoming NRC correspondence ensure that appropriate offslte support staff are aware of current NRC directives and issues.
Plant events and modifications are routinely discussed with appropriate offsite personnel by the plant staff, and this interaction is an excellent mechanism to keep the offsite personnel informed.
Many of the offsite personnel who deal with the nuclear power plants have spent time at the plant sites and have, therefore, attended orientation sessions on health physics and security matters relating to those specific plants.
As new personnel join the offsite support groups, they will receive similar on-the-job training.
Expertise in specific areas is maintained by all off-site personnel through continual on-the-job training as assignments are carried out.
Offsite support staff are active participants in many industry groups which address issues of generic significance to the nuclear
- industry, such as the Edison Electrical Institute, the Southeastern Electric Exchange, and the Atomic Industrial Forum.
In addition, the support 3-IO (7390SNP)
staff routinely participates in utility owners'roups in order to address equipment or regulatory issues such as BWR Pipe Cracking or the PWR Steam Generator issues.
Staff members who receive new information regarding generic issues pass the information on to the Special Nuclear Programs Unit.
The Special Nuclear Programs Unit is responsible for distributing the information to appropriate individuals throughout the Company.
The Nuclear Training Section makes available a formal orientation program for all newly assigned professional staff members in nuclear related positions.
In addition, supervisory/management courses in the areas of human resources development and organizational development specialty training are routinely offered by the Employee Relations Department to provide employees an opportunity to specialize and upgrade their skills.
3.9 CONTRACT ASSISTANCE The Operations Support Group maintains a large number of active contracts for labor and services in order to ensure availability of qualified personnel when they are needed by the nuclear projects to augment the Company's resources.
These contracts enable the Company to expeditiously obtain additional maintenance personnel, such as mechanics, electricians, 18C Technicians, and technical specialists such as RC8T Technicians.
The Company also has contracts with engineering and consulting firms to provide immediate access to specialized technical expertise when it becomes necessary to supplement the capabilities of Company personnel.
3.10 RECRUITING PROGRAM By current estimates, the staff of the Harris Plant Operations Section will total approximately 500 persons by the end of 1984.
The Company has recognized the necessity for a well developed and productive recruiting program to meet its manpower needs.
Personnel have been hired Into the Harris Plant Operations Section organization since 1979 and temporarily assigned to other operating nuclear plants.
Thus, existing CP8,L nuclear plants have been used as training bases for the buildup of the Harris Plant Operations Section staff.
At various times, these and other trained personnel from those plants have been transferred to the Harris site.
The Company has developed an aggressive program for recruiting new employees from colleges and universities.
Particular emphasis is placed on recruiting engineering and technical personnel.
Within the Employee Relations Department, the Area Personnel Relations function at the Harris Nuclear Project is assigned to the Personnel Relations-Nuclear Plants Section.
This Section provides overall Personnel Relations support in the recruitment of construction and operations personnel.
The Section provides the onsite coordination of all recruitment activities at the Harris Nuclear Project.
The Area Personnel Relations office at Harris is involved in recruitment efforts at college
- campuses, technical
- schools, and naval installations.
As a result of this structure the Company is able to fill vacancies more rapidly and improve coordination with onsite managers and corporate recruiters.
3-1 I (7390SNP)
Ouring the academic year 1982-1983, CPS,L recruiters made 25 visits to 20 different colleges and universities.
From September 1982 to April 1983, Company recruiters have visited the following colleges and universities:
Mississippi State,
- State, North Carolina
- State, North Carolina, Virginia, Virginia Polytechnical Institute, South
- Carolina, Clemson,
- Purdue, Memphis State, Ouke, Florida, North Carolina
- Central, Georgia Institute of Technology, Tennessee, North Carolina A&T, St. Augustines, and UNC at Wilmington.
In addition, the Company will continue to recruit from naval bases in 1984 in order to add to its complement of experienced nuclear personnel.
Technical school and community college recruiting will assure the Company of a continuous supply of qualified technical graduates with at least iwo years of training.
Schools in the following states are'isited on a routine basis:
North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, and Florida.
In addition, the Company actively participates in programs which it believes will enhance student and faculty awareness and perception of the Company.
Some of these programs include:
industrial
- workshop, career day, job fair, and workshops for high school guidance counselors on career opportunities for graduates of two-year colleges and technical schools.
In
- 1983, Company recruiters visited 26 community colleges and technical schools.
ln addition, the Company participates in a Cooperative Education Program which has been established at eight four-year and six two-year Institutions.
This
- program, along with the Company 's summer employment
- program, provides vocational training to students, and serves as a
means of identifying potential employees.
The Company also advertises in numerous professional and technical publications such as Engineering News Record, Power Magazine, Nuclear
- News, IEEE Spectrum, ASME Publication, Navy Times, and other military newspapers.
Local newspapers are used whenever a supply of local qualified personnel is likely to be available due to industrial layoffs or job changes.
The Company continuously encourages referrals by employees.
The Company 's wage and salary program is competitive with that of other utilities and industries at ihe local and national levels.
This is an important factor in attracting entry level and experienced personnel for operating plants.
The salary program is reviewed at least annually through use of surveys and market data provided by outside organizations and is adjusted to ensure competitive salaries are maintained.
Entry level professional and technical salaries are adjusted twice annually with satisfactory performance.
These adjustments are during first two-years of employment.
The Company is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer and has a
number of special programs designed to attract qualified minority, female, and handicapped personnel.

- CRESAP, McCORMICK AND PAGET AUDIT The management consulting firm of Cresap, McCormick, and Paget (Cresap) conducted an eight-month long comprehensive, corporate-wide and independent audit under the direction of the North Carolina Public Utilities Commission during 1982.
As a result of this audit, Cresap commended the Company for having:
o A well-organized top management team; A participative management philosophy with a commitment to excellence and innovative change; A sound management approach to the Harris Project incorporating lessons learned at other Company nuclear plants and by the nuclear industry generally; o
Extensive and innovative formal management systems that compare very favorable with those of other utilities Cresap had reviewed recently; and o
Competent personnel at the Harris Project from various industry sources.
Cresap's overall conclusion was that "CPS,L is one of the best-managed utilities that we have audited in the past several years."
- 3. 12 ESSEX REV I EW In April of 1980, the Company contracted with Essex Corporation to perform a
comprehensive evaluation of its nuclear plant control rooms using human factors engineering principles.
The primary objective was to im'prove the control rooms by optimizing the man-machine interface.
The evaluations were completed in September 1981 for the Robinson, Brunswick, and Harris Plants.
Recommendations for improvements are contained in detailed data flies and summary reports.
As a result of these evaluations, the Company completely redesigned the Harris plant control board and rearranged the control room to optimize viewing angles.
The recommendations for Robinson and Brunswick have been evaluated by the Company and their implementation is underway.
3.13 WESTINGHOUSE ELECTRIC CORPORATION Westinghouse provides technical assistance to the Company during the installation, startup, testing,.
and initial operation of the Harris nuclear steam supply system (NSSS).
Westinghouse personnel at the Harris plant site review and comment on NSSS preoperational test procedures to assure that test acceptance criteria and objectives are appropriate and consistent with safe operation.

Dr. Thomas S. Elleman, Vice President Corporate Nuclear Safety and Research FR6Mt Sherwood H. Smith, Jr.
SUBJECT:
Nuclear Safety and Quality Assurance Matters This memorandum will confirm our understanding that you will meet periodically with me to discuss nuclear safety and quality assurance matters.
These discussions may encompass matters outside of routine nuclear safety and quality assurance audit and surveillance reports, as well as app-opriate items in those reports.
These reviews should, include,'ut not be limited to, such items as trends in quality assurance which could lead to safety concerns, generic quality assurance and safety problems in the nuclear
- industry, any matters requiring extended or intensive investigations affecting CP6Lrs quality assurance or nuclear safety programs, the attitudes and morale of personnel involved in the implementation of CP&L's programs, or any other personnel concerns'elated to safety matters.
Since your total responsibility includes all aspects of nuclear safety from a corporate standpoint with no other assigned duties that might conflict with this interest, I am certain that your reviews will provide an obgective evaluation of the effectiveness of nuclear safety, quality assurance, and ALARA programs.
I will also expect to be informed about the concerns of other personnel working in areas of nuclear safety, quality assurance, and health physics, if there are any safety matters not being satisfactorily addressed by other levels of management.
Our conversations, of course, will not be intended to replace, or
- alter, the regular and routine written reports on nuclear safety matters, which are provided to me.
It will be your responsibility to initiate these meetings on a frequency of no less than semiannually.
Of course,
- however, should situations arise that you feel should be brought to my attention immediately for satisfactory resolution, I will expect you to contact me promptly and make me aware of the urgency of the situation, Exhibit 3 Page 1 of 2

This input applies to SRP Sections 2.5. I, 2.5.2 and 2.5.3.
The repor was prepared by Anthony Cardone, Geologist and Phyllis Sobel, Seismologist.
As stated in the draft SER, the staff concluded'hat there are no capable faults at the site or.in the. region around the site and that the SSE and OBE are adequate.
Seismicity has not been observed during the filling of the reservoirs at the Harris site.
Seismic monitoring of the reservoirs wi 11 continue for two years after the reservoirs are filled.
This draft SER also discusses a potential problem as a result of the possible need for addressing a more explicit treatment of the subdivision of the New England - Piedmont tectonic province.
We suggest that a meeting with the applicant be scheduled so that a further discussion on this topic can take place.
The USGS is reassessing its position on localization of the 1886 Charleston, S.C. earthquake.
We will consider the re-evaluation from both a scientific and a regulatory point of view when it becomes available.

Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2
Draft Safety Evaluation Report 2.5 Geolo and Seismolo The geology and seismology of the site was reviewed in detail prior to issuance of construction permits for Shearon Harris Units 1,', 3, and 4
by the staff of the AU. S. Atomic Energy Commission, the predecessor to-the U.. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and its geological advisors, the U. S. Geological Survey (USGS) and its seismological
- advisors, the National Oceanic and Atmospheri" Administration (NOAA).
The findings of that review were published on December 22, 1972 (U. S. Atomic Energy Commission, 1972) as part of the Safety Evaluation Report relating to construction of the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant.
Additional geologic investigations made by the applicants after the r
issuance of construction permits for Units 1; 2, 3 and 4 were prompted by the discovery of a fault in the excavation of the waste processing building.
The applicant notified us of the discovery on July 11, 1974.
Investigations and evaluations by the applicant, its consultants, and the NRC staff were required to assess the impact of the new geologic data on the seismicity of the site.
A two volume report entitled, "Fault Investigation Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant Units 1, 2, 3
and 4" (Ebasco Services, Inc., 1975) resulted from the applicants investigation.
Our evaluation of the applicants findings was reported in Supplement No.
3 to the SER dated July 1977.
Recently the USGS has stated that it is reassessing its position regarding the localization of the seismicity in the vicinity of Charleston, S.C., including the 1886 Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) X Earthquake.
A formal statement of that position is forthcoming.
The staff has supported the existing USGS position on the Charleston Earthquake with respect to the seismic and structural uniqueness of the Charleston area.
We continue to support 'that position and will examine any reassessment by the USGS.
In licensing decisions since about 1976 regarding the seismic design basis of nuclear power plants located in the Precambrian-Paleozoic crystalline section of the Appalachian Orogen, particularly in New
~ England and the northernmost
- Piedmont, the staff has recognized the New England-Piedmont Tectonic Province.
Because seismicity was relatively uniform throughout this province-," and the maximum historic earthquakes were MMI VII, it was not important to subdivide it.
However in the Southern Appalachian area the staff, in effect, has treated the southern Piedmont as a separate tectonic area.
Although this is the case, on January 9, 1982, a magnitude (mb) 5.7, MMI VI earthquake occurred in south central New Brunswick, Canada in geologic terrain that js similar to that which characterizes the New England-Piedmont Province (including the southern Piedmont).
Extensive research is under way regarding that earthquake by the Canadians, the U. S. Geological Survey, universities, consulting firms, and the New England utility companies.
The NRC Geosciences Branch has formed a panel to monitor the results of these studies and assess them with respect to nuclear power plant sites in the
region.
If it becomes.
necessary to consider this earthquake to be the largest historic earthquake for licensing purposes, then this concern must be addressed as part of the much broader seismotectonic issue in which the validity of the Piedmont-New England tectonic province as a
homogeneous unit must also be considered.
The applicant has satisfied the requirements of the following NRC guides and regulations:
(1)
Appendix A, 10 CFR Part 100, Seismic and Geologic Siting for Nuclear Power Plants; (2)
Standard Review Plan (NUREG-0800), Sections 2.5. 1, 2.5.2, and 2.5.3; (3)
Regulatory Guide 1.60, Design
Response
Spectra for Seismic Design of Nuclear Power Plants, Revision 1; and (4), Regulatory Guide 1.70, Standard Format and Content of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants, Revision 2.
The NRC staff has completed its review of the geological and seismological aspects of the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR).
Based on our review of the FSAR and pertinent documents from the published scientific literature we conclude:
1.
The applicant has conducted an adequate investigation of the site and region around it.
There are no capable faults in the site region and there are no geologic conditions that pose a hazard to the nuclear power plant and its facilities;
4 2.
The Safe Shutdown Earthquake of 0.15g zero period acceleration anchored to a Regulatory Guide 1.60 response spectrum is adequate; and 3.
The Operating Basis Earthquake of 0.075g zero period acceleration anchored to a Regulatory Guide 1.60 response spectrum is adequate.
4.
Seismicity has not been observed during the filling of the reservoirs at the Harris site.
Seismic monitoring of the reservoirs will continue for two years after the reservoirs are filled.
2.5. 1 Basic Geolo ic and Seismic Information The paragraphs in this section contain a brief summary of the geological
.conditions of the Shearon Harris Nuclear Site and the basis for our conclusion concerning the geological suitability of the site.
2.5.1.
~R The Shearon Harris site is located in the Deep River Triassic Basin, which lies mostly within the Piedmont Physiographic Province.
Upland elevations range from 300 feet above sea level along the eastern border of the province to about 1500 feet above sea level at the western border.
The Piedmont province trends northeasterly and is bordered on the east by the Coastal Plain Province and on the west by the Blue Ridge Province The Piedmont is underlain by metamorphic and igneous rocks formed in Late Precambrian and Early Paleozoic time.
Several orogenic episodes are recognized in the Piedmont beginning in Late Precambrian time.
The IR
~2
~
final episode which occurred in the Triassic was characterized by tensional forces which resulted in a series of northeast trending
- basins, one of which is the Deep River Basin.
Structurally, the basin is a trough-shaped graben'filled with Triassic sediments.
The southeastern border of the basin is formed by the Jonesboro fault, which passes approximately 4 miles southeast of the plant site, under the reservoir.
Accumulation of the sedimentary wedge resulted from continued movements of the Jonesboro fault and development of cross-basin faults.
The Jonesboro fault is a diagonal dip-slip fault with a total vertical displacement of 5,000 to 10,000 feet and unknown right-lateral displacement.
.'ts total length exceeds 100 miles.
The basin sediments are intruded by diabase dikes of late Triassic or,early Juras'sic age.
The dikes trend N10'-40'M and range up to 300 feet in width and to more than 7 miles in length.
The rocks of the Piedmont slope to the southeast and disappear beneath the southeasterly thickening wedge of unconsolidated to poorly consolidated sediments underlying the Coastal Plain physiographic province.
The Coastal Plain is comprised of Cretaceous to Recent (138 mybp to present)
- sands, gravels, silts, clays, shells, and limestones that thicken from the Fall Zone to up to 10,000 feet along portions of the Carolina coast.
The Coastal Plain is 90 to 120 miles wide and ranges in elevation from +500 feet NSL in the west to sea level in the east.
During past licensing decisions the NRC and AEC have held to the position that the relatively high seismic activity within the Coastal Plain Province in the vicinity of Charleston, S.C., including the 1886 MM Intensity X earthquake, is related to unique tectonic structure there.
Therefore, in the context of the tectonic province approach, an MM Intensity X earthquake should not be assumed to occur anywhere else.
This conclusion is based primarily on the persistent seismicity that has characterized the meizoseismal zone of the Charleston Earthquake since 1886.
It is also based on evidence, though not strong, of unique geologic structure.
Lacking definitive information, the NRC-AEC based its conclusion to a very great extent on advice from the U. S.
Geological Survey.
In 1973, with AEC funding, the USGS began extensive geologic and seismic investigations in.he Charleston region.
These studies are still underway.
As a result of these investigations, a great deal of information has been obtained, but the source mechanism of the seismicity still is not known.
Many working hypotheses have been developed based on the research data.
These hypotheses are described in the Virgil C.
Summer Safety Evaluation Report (NRC, 1981),
and will not be discussed here, only to say that some of these theories postulate that the Charleston Earthquake of 1886 could recur in other areas of the Piedmont and Atlantic Coastal Plain in addition to the epicentral area.
Hecause of the wide range of opinions within the scientific community concerning the tectonic mechanism for the Charleston seismicity, the
USGS announced in January, l982 that it will reassess its past position.
Me expect the result of that reanalysis to be available in the Fall of 1982.
A change in the USGS position could require a re-evaluation of the seismic design bases of the Shearon Harris site assuming that the Charleston Earthquake could occur closer to the site than was previously considered.
However, pending the announcement of the USGS position, the NRC staff continues to support its past position that the Charleston seismicity is associated with tectonic structure in the Charleston-Summerville
- area, and that for licensing purposes in the O
context of the tectonic province approach, should not be assumed to occur anywhere else.
When the USGS statement is made we wi 1,.1 consider it from a scientific and regulatory point of view.
2.5.1.2
~Ei 8
The site is located near the eastern edge of the Cape Fear River drainage system.
The plant site is on an upland area of gently sloping hills and ridges located between Tom Jack Creek on the west and Thomas Creek on the east.
Elevations of hill tops and ridge crests are mostly between 250 and 275 ft. and local relief is generally less than 60 ft.
The site is underlain by-gently dipping rocks of the Upper Triassic Sanford formation.
The bedrock is mostly siltstone and fine-grained sandstone interbedded with subordinate
- shale, claystone, and conglomerate.
These rocks consist mostly of alluvial fan, stream
- channel, and floodplain deposits and are characterized by abrupt changes in composition and texture, both horizontally and vertically.
Several north to northwest trending diabase dikes of Triassic-Jurassic age have intruded the Triassic bedrock in the site vicinity.
These dikes are near vertical and are one to 15 ft. thick.
Hedrock adjacent to the dikes is commonly baked to a dark gray or black color.
Host dikes are deeply weathered to a mixture of clay and rounded cobbles of residual diabase.
2.5.1.3 Surface Faul tinq During certain clearing operations and excavations in the plant area, a
fault was identified on July 3, 1974 in the foundation of the plant waste processing building.
An investigation into its nature and history of movement and its relation to the geologic and tectonic setting was conducted by the applicant.
The objective was to determine whether renewed movement on the fault could occur resulting in surface rupture and seismicity.
Me reviewed the regional tectonics and the structural relationships, and evaluated the studies conducted by the applicant to determine the age of most recent movement on the fault.
In our determination of the age of the fault, we included studies on (1) radiometric dating of zeolites, (2) soil and saprolite considerations, (3) undisturbed sediments overlying the fault, and (4) regional geology.
The results of the investigations together with independent studies by our consultants, enabled us to determine that the fault is not capable as defined in Appendix A to 10 CFR 100.
The applicants reported findings, which were substantiated by ourselves and our consultants, are discussed in SER Supplement No.
3 (U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission,
II
1977).
The applicant concluded, and we concurred, that the latest movement on the fault is very ancient.
The minimum age of last fault movement that can be demonstrated, based on radiometric dating methods, is approximately 2.5 million years ago and based on other geologic considerations, movement took place more than 136 million years ago.
We further concluded that the fault would not be reactivated under reservoir loading.
We also requested that seismic monitoring be performed at the site to confirm our conclusion that the proposed reservoir would not cause fault movement during and after filling.
Heginning in December 1977 and extending through February 1980, the applicant reported and the NRC staff inspected a number of minor faults that were exposed as foundation excavation proceeded in the main dam and spillway areas.
All of these faults were found to be minor with lengths measured in 10's of feet and displacements measured in inches.
We concur with the applicant in concluding that all of the faults in the plant site and main dam areas predate the mineralization that formed after regional deformation which occurred at least 136 million and likely more than 200 million years ago. Therefore, the faults are considered non-capable as defined in Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 100.
2.5.2.1
~Summar The conclusion reached at the construction permit (CP) review by both the staff and its consultants, the USGS and NOAA (CP-SER, CP-SER Supp.
1
and CP-SER Supp.
- 3) was that 0.15g (SSE) and 0.075g (OBE) accelerations when used with Regulatory Guide 1.60 response spectra are adequate.
At the operating license review stage, the staff evaluated tectonic provinces to determine the vibratory ground motion corresponding to the SSE. Current staff practice has been to request the applicant to calculate appropriately derived site-specific response spectra from accelerograms for similar controlling earthquake size and epicentral distance and local site conditions.
It is the staff position that the Shearon Harris design should meet the 84th percentile of the site 0
specific spectrum of earthquake records with a mean magnitude of 5.3 (mb).
The staff concludes that the Shearon Harris design criteria are acceptable.
2.5.2.2 Maximum Earth uakes In the CP-SER (1972) the staff and our USGS consultant found that Triassic Basins in the Piedmont appear to have experienced a greater number of earthquakes than the rema'ining portion of the Piedmont.
Based on this, our NOAA seismology consultant found that it is possible that an event larger than the largest historic events in the Piedmont (1913 Union County, South Carolina, intensity VII or 1875 Richmond, Virginia, intensity VII) could be experienced within one of the Triassic Basins.
NOAA recommended that an intensity VII-VIII(MM) earthquake be considered as the maximum earthquake likely to affect the site.
- n the FSAR the applicant notes that the region in the immediate vicinity of the site is characterized by low-level seismicity.
The
applicant recognizes three seismic zones which border the site region-Central Virginia, South Carolina-Georgia and the Southern Appalachians.
The applicant does consider it possible that some intensity VII earthquakes in the Piedmont may have been related to Triassic Basins.
Thus, the applicant considers an 'event of intensity VII similar to the 1875 Richmond or 1871 Milmington, Delaware earthquakes occurring in the Deep River Basin close to the site to be the maximum potential earthquake.
The staff has evaluated tectonic provinces to determine the maximum earthquake that is associated with the SSE.
The staff prsently considers the maximum random earthquake to be intensity VII or magnitude 5.3, bas'ed on the largest events in the, southern Piedmont that have not been associated with structure.
In the OL review the staff did not consider the larger intensity VII-VIIIevent, recommended by NOAA during the CP review, due to the lowlevel of seimsicity near the site.
The largest historic events within 130 miles of the site are intensity VI and seimsicity has not been associated with the nearby Triassic Basins.
The staff considers the use of the largest historic earthquakes in the southern Piedmont to be adequately conservative for determining the maximum random earthquake.
The largest historic earthquakes in the southern Piedmont have estimated Modified Mercalli intensities (MMI) of VII.
Two of these, the February 21, 1774 earthquake and the December 22, 1875 earthquake, occurred near Richmond, Virginia, approximately 133 miles northeast of the site.
A third, the January 1,
1913 Union County, S.C.
earthquake occurred at a distance of approximately 175 miles
southwest of the site.
Bollinger (1973) lists these earthquakes as having an intensity VII (MMI) and its equivalent Rossi-Forel VII-VIII, Barstow (1981) lists these earthquakes with intensities VII (MNI),
Coffman and Von Hake (1977) list these earthquakes with intensity VII or VI-VII (MMI).
In more recent Safety Evaluation reviews, the Staff has maintained that magnitude is a more appropriate measure of earthquake source strength than intensity, which is a measure of observed damage and felt effects.
Nagnitude is usually determined from instrumental records;
- however, because there were no instrumental recordings, Nuttli et al (1979) derived a magnitude estimate for the 1774 and the 1875 Richmond events from felt area and isoseismal area information.
The estimated magnitudes range from 4.5 to 5.0 (mb).
In another study, Nuttli and Hermann (1978) indicated that an appropriate equivalent magnitude for an
'picentral intensity of VII (NMI) is a magnitude 5.3 (mb). It is the staff's conclusion that the maximum historic earthquakes in the Southern Piedmont can be defined as having an estimated (maximum) magnitude of 5.3 (mb).
Events similar to the largest that have occurred in the southern Piedmont could occur anywhere in the Province and should be considered as the maximum random earthquake likely to affect the site.
The August 31, 1886 Charleston, S.C. earthquake is listed in the Coffman and Von Hake catalogue (1977) with a meizoseismal intensity of IX-X (MN).
Bollinger (1977) estimated the maximum intensity to be X (NM).
The Charleston, S.C.
region is presently under intensive investigation.
Interpretations that have emanated from these studies differ considerably as far as the possible mechanisms are concerned.
The NRC and its advisors, the USGS, undertook a survey of the publications on the subject during the OL safety evaluation review of the V. C.
Summer Nuclear Station (USNRC, 1981).
As mentioned before, the Charleston, S.C.
area is being subjected to an intensive study by the USGS.
(See also discussion in Section 2.5.1.1.)
The staff's position has been that the Charleston seismicity is associated with a (regionally unique) tectonic structure in the Charleston-Summerville area and should not be assumed in the tectonic province approach for licensing purposes to occur anywhere else.
Thus, in accordance with the tectonic province approach (Appendix A to 10 CFR 100), the maximum earthquake which shall be conside'red to occur near the.Shearon Harris site has a maximum intensity of VII (NM) or a maximum magnitude of 5.3 (mb).
In addition, the effects of a recurrence of an 1886 Charleston earthquake in the Summerville-Charleston area shall be postulated to assess its influence on the Shearon Harris site.
2.5.2.3 Safe Shutdown Earthquake At the CP stage (CP-SER)
NOAA concluded that the Safe Shutdown Earthquake (SSE) should be characterized as a local intensity VII-VIII event with a peak horizontal acceleration of 0.15g.
While the Southern Valley and Ridge Province and the area near Charleston, South Carolina are con sidered to have a potential for larger earthquakes than the
- Piedmont, the maximum effect at the site from earthquakes in these areas would be less than nearby Piedmont events.
In SER Supplement No.
1 (1973). the staff found that this peak acceleration value should be used for Seismic Category I structures founded on both bedrock and soil.
In SER Supplement No.
3 (1977), the staff noted that the applicant had revised its response spectra to comply with Regulatory Guide 1.60.
In the FSAR, the applicant designates the SSE as an intensity VII earthquake with its epicenter near the site.
The resulting maximum horizontal ground acceleration at foundation level within the bedrock at the site was estimated to be less than 0. 12g.
In order to provide an additional margin of conservatism, a value of 0.15g anchored to a
RG 1.60 spectrum was assigned as the SSE.
The staff's position is that the-following seismic hazards. likely to affect the site should be considered:
(1) a random event of intensity VII or magnitude 5.3 in the site vicinity.
(2) an event the size of the 1886 Charleston earthquake (intensity X) occurring in the vicinity of Charleston, about 200 miles south of the site.
The SSE is characterized by a peak ground acceleration and a response spectrum derived from accelerometer records which record strong ground motion from earthquakes.
Mhen the earthquake is associated with a specific geologic structure or tectonic province, ground motion is determined using relations between either ground motion, magnitude and distance from the fault, or ground motion and intensity.
Numerous ground motion relations are given in the literature and are based on
recorded data.
The applicant concluded that these relations result in peak acceleration values below 0.12g for a random intensity YII event.
The staff considers an acceleration of 0.13g to be adequately conservative for an intensity VII as determined using the trend of the means relating peak acceleration to intensity as shown by Trifunac and Brady (1975). This acceleration is used as the high-frequency anchor of a Regulatory Guide 1".60 spectrum.
Based on published ground motion relations the Shearon Harris 0. 15g response spectra is adequate.
However, in recent site reviews the staff has found site-specific
- spectra, which are discussed next, to be a more realistic aoproach to assessing the adequacy of SSE spectra.
The SRP and Regulatory Guides represent one approach that the staff'onsiders acceptable to establish conformance with NRC regulations.
Another approach that is accepted to establish the adequacy of the seismic design of nuclear power plants is the use of site-specific spectra (NUREGs-0011, 0847).
Although the staff has endorsed the Trifunac and Brady (1975) relai:ionship relating intensity to peak acceleration, it requested site specific spectra as a more realistic method to assess the adequacy of SSE spectra.
This method uses state-of-the-art seismological information and data analysis.
Site-specific response spectra allow for the direct estimation of the response spectrum at all frequencies for specific magnitude, distance and recording site conditions rather than the need to develop a
reference acceleration (g value) for.a site-independent standard spectra.
It is the staff's position that the 84th percentile spectrum
k l'
represents an appropriately conservati ve representati on of the site-specific earthquake (see, for example, the Sequoyah
- SER, NUREG-0011).
In order to estimate site specific spectra, the applicant utilized spectra calculated for NRC by Bernreuter (1981).The applicant selected response spectra from accelerograms for recording sites with foundation'onditions (rock sites) similar to Shearon Harris.
The magnitudes chosen were within one-half a magnitude unit for a magnitude 5.3 event.
For the magnitude 5.3 event the 0. 159 Regulatory Guide 1.60 response spectrum envelopes or matches the 84th percentile site-specific spectrum.
The staff concludes that the Shearon Harris SSE is adequate for. describing the ground motion effects'or rock foundations due to the maximum random event (magnitude 5.3).
Most of the Seismic Category I structures, are founded on sound rock.
The effect of the soil column on the seismic resposne of the structures founded on soil is reviewed in Section 3.7.
For the intensity X event at Charleston, S.C., the staff found no appropriate set of strong motion records.
Isoseismal maps prepared by Bollinger (1977) show that the 1886 earthquake was probably felt with an intensity V (but not more than VI) in the Shearon Harris site area.
The intensity at the site as a result of an 1886 Charleston, S.C.
earthquake of epicentral intensity X was also estimated by several attenuation functions (Bollinger, 1977; Gupta and Nuttli, 1976).
Assuming an intensity X event approximately 200 miles from the site and using the above mentioned attenuation functions, the site intensity ranges from intensity V-VI to intensity VI-VII. Thus the ground motion effects at the Harris site from the recurrence of an 1886 Charleston earthquake in the Summerville-Charleston area are less than the effects of the maximum random earthquake (intensity VII).
The staff concludes that the Shearon Harris SSE is adequate for describing the ground motion effects of an event the size of the 1886 Charleston earthquake occurring in the vicinity of Charleston.
2.5.2.4 Reservoir-Induced Seismicit The principal source of water for the Harris plants is a storage reservoir system, which consists of two reservoirs.
The applicant constructed a dam on Buckhorn Creek which created a 4,000 acre Main Reservoir which will serve as the principal source of plant cooling water and a back up source of emergency service water.
The nuclear units are located on a peninsula on the northwest shore of the reservoir north of the main dam.
The applicant has also constructed an Auxiliary Reservoir with a surface area of 317 acres to the west of the plants.
The Auxiliary Reservoir is the preferred source of emergency service water.
As a result of the staff review of a noncapable fault discovered in 1974 at the Harris plant site, the staff requested the Applicant to seismically monitor the site to confirm the staff conclusion that the proposed reservoirs will not cause fault movement during and after reservoir filling (SER Supplement No. 3, 1977).
Monitoring should be continued for at least two years after reservoir filling and the staff should receive quarterly reports.
Such monitoring is necessary because reservoir filling has sometimes been accompanied by earthquakes beneath or near reservoirs.
The possibility of reservoir-induced seismicity is generally greater for deeper reservoirs (Stuart-Alexander and Mark, 1976).
Reservoirs under 100 m in height seldom experience "felt" earthquakes associated with reservoir filling.
The proposed depths of the Harris plant reservoirs are 19 m (62 ft) for the Main Reservoir and 13m (43 ft) for the Auxiliary Reservoir.
Both reservoir depths are close to the lowest depths for which there has been a suggested relationship between reservoir filling and earthquake occurrence.
For this reason, the staff concludes that induced seismicity above the
. microearthquake level from reservoir loading is not.expected at the Harris site.
However, to observe effects, if any, during the filling of the reservoirs, the staff requested the Applicant to seismically monitor the site.
The applicant's seismic monitoring network began operation in 1977 and consists of an array of four stations.
Each station contains a
vertical-component, short-period seismometer and one station also has two horizontal-component seismometers aligned north-south and east-west.
Reservoir filling began in November 1980.
The reservoirs are now essentially full and filling should be complete in March 1983.
To date no local earthquakes have been recorded either prior to or during reservoir filling. Monitoring will continue for two years after reservoir filling. At that time the applicant and staff will meet to determine if monitoring should continue.

I 2.5.2.5 0 eratin Basis Earth uake The applicant has proposed 0.075g for the acceleration level corresponding to the OBE.
The design vibratory ground acceleration for the OBE is taken to be one ha'lf of the design vibratory ground acceleration for the SSE, consistent with Appendix A to 10 CFR 100.
The staff finds that the proposed acceleration value for the OBE is adequately conservative.
