I am pleased to respond to your letter to Mr. Denton dated May 29, 1986, in which you expressed certain concerns regarding the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant.
Specifically, you state that you "oppose the opening of the plant until a full-scale emergency evacuation practice is completed,"
and that you also "oppose the opening....until a long-term solution/answer is found for high-level waste storage."
In response to your statement that Carolina Power and Light (CP8iL) has not conducted a full participation test of the present emergency plan, there was a full participation exercise conducted May 17-18, 1985, in which the State of North Carolina, and Wake,
- Chatham, Harnett and Lee counties participated.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) reported that, based on a review of the exercise, the state and local emergency plans are adequate and capable of being implemented, and the exercise demonstrated that offsite preparedness is adequate to provide reasonable assurance that appropriate measures can be taken to protect the health and safety of the public living in the vicinity of the Shearon Harris nuclear power plant in the event of a radiological emergency.
With regard to your statement regarding a long-term solution to high-level waste storage, the U.S. Department of Energy (USDOE) was mandated by Congress to develop a repository program, identify site(s),
and take responsibility for spent fuel at specific points in time.
USDOE is proceeding with its programs with Congressional Oversight and Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) review.
When completed, the repository site for the storage of spent fuel will be licensed by the NRC, and will have to meet the requirements of 10 CFR Part 60 with respect to safety and impacts on the environment.
I hope this letter has been responsive to your concerns.
Sincerely,
/~/
