Box 7909 '

Raleigh, NC. 27695-7909 ,4 Gm +.1emen:

SUBJLCT: FAMILIARIZATION TOUR BY RESIDENT INSPECTORS As you know, one of the missluns of the NRC is to respond to a licensee's  ;

facility:in case of'a serious problem or emergency. The role of the NRC in the event of an emergency at your facility will be to monitor your response efforts in protecting public health and ' safety, and to provide -information and-assistance to you as needed. Although.our role is one of support, we must stay -

informed and be ready to provide assistance or whatever else may be required, j Following notification of an incident, it would require several hours before we -

could actually respond from our Regional Office and be at your facility to offer support that may be needed. As you are aware,'at our nuclear power plant licensee facilities, we are fortunate to have one or more resident inspectors who can respond much more quickly, usually within a matter of minutes, i q

We recognize, of course, that the potential consequences of an accident at your -S facility are obviously significantly less than at a nuclear power plant. '

However, in order for us to provide a more timely response to your facility in.

case of an emergency, I have assigned the NRC resident inspectors at the Shearon Harris nuclear power plant, Jeffery Tedrow and Melvin Shannon, as the early responders to any emergency or event involving your NRC license. In 4 this role, they must become familiar, in a general-sense, with your facility  !

and- operations. _ To expedite this and to minimize the impact upon your time, I j plan to hrve these gentlemen accompany Craig Bassett, our Research Reactors -1 Projects Engineer, on a familiarization tour of your facility during one of our j future inspections. This will allow you to become acquainted with them and  ;

allow them the opportunity to become familiar with your operations, ,

organization, staff, and methods for facility access.
