Dear Mr. Denton:

In accordance with 10CFR50.54(s)(1), Carolina Power & Light Company (CP&L) hereby transmits ten (10) copies of the North Carolina Emergency Response Plan in support of our Brunswick Steam Electric Plant, Unit Nos. I and 2 (BSEP). The attached plan supersedes the draft plan previously submitted to NRC in our letter of February 17, 1981. The dates denoting revisions are noted at the bottom of the affected pages. The attached North Carolina Emergency Response Plan for BSEP does not cover the portion of the H. B. Robinson Plan fifty (50) mile emergency planning zone (EPZ) which extends into North Carolina. However, it does contain a letter of agreement between North and South Carolina regarding mutual notification and assistance, but implementing details remain to be finalized. CP&L is working with the North Carolina Emergency Preparedness staff to develop thse details and we will submit them when they are provided by the State of North Carolina. During our review of the attached plan, my staff noted minor editorial discrepancies in the contents. We have discussed the discrepancies wi th the Nor th Carolina &nergency Preparedness staff and have been informed that they will be eliminated in future revisions. l00 S: gO n.d9 .y \\ a zw a.1 %m. ge '*=ar .2 ~ l

State offi-cials will determine when it is safe to return home briefly to check on pets and to pick up other items. When it is safe to return to your home, you will be notified promptly through the news media or by public officials. s What is radiation? Radiation is energy traveling in the form of waves or particles.
