SITE CHARACTERISTICS 2.1 Geography and Demograohy The July 1981 edition of the SRP (NUREG-0800) includes Chapter 2 Site l
Characteristics.
Units 1 and 2 were reviewed in accordance with Sections l
2.1.1, 2.1.2, and 2.1.3 of the SRP.
The results of this review are contained 1
in Section 2.1 of this SER.
I 2.1.1 Site location and Description The Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant is located on a 10,800 acre site in
%c res44*cs 4=d
- flA *d j** f ed f **d*"8'44 Art l*84f*J A Wdlu: Gdadi-l Wake County and Chatham County, North Carolina.4 e site is located on the Th north-east bank of a 4,000 acre man-made reservoir on Buckhorg Creek.
The plant is alicut 16 miles south-west of Raleigh, North Carolina and 15 miles north-east of Sanford, North' Carolina.
Figure 2.1 shows the general region of the Shearon Harris site, while Figure 2.2 shows the immediate site area.
The topography of the site varies from abaut 220 ft mean sea level (MSL) at the reservoir to 300.ft MSL in higher elevations surrounding the plant site.
The plant grade is O. O ft MSL.
The coordinates of ist Shearon Harris Unit 1 are 35' 38' 00" north latitude and 78*.57' 22" west longitude.
The universal transverse mercator coordinates are 3,945,013.683 M north and 685,064.3'89 M east.

The staff's value of 4
i */
W is in good agreement with the applicant's value of T,300,000.
The applicant projects that this. population will grow to about 2,210,000 by the year 2020.
This represents a growth rate of about 17%/ decade.
The staff 1
ccmpared the applicant's population projections to those of the Bureau of Economic Analysis for economic areas 26, 27 and 28.
This comparison shcwed l
that the applicant's projection of 17%/ decade is conservative compared to cr*jd*494 the regional growth of 13%/ decade using the Bureau of Economic Analysis asoner.
2.1. 4 Conclusion.
On the basis of (1) the 10 CFR 100 definitions of the exclusion area, low population zone and population center distance; (2) the staff analysis of the onsite meteorological data frem which the relative concentration factors (5/Q) were calculated (see section 2.3 of this recort), and (3) calculated l
potential radiological dose consequences of design-basis accidents (see section 15 of this report), the staff concludes that the exclusion area, LPZ, and population center distance meet the criteria of 10 CFR 100 and are acceptable.
2.2 Nearby Industrial, Transoortation, and Military Facilities The July 1981 edition of SRP (NUREG-0800) includes Chapter 2, Site Characteristics, as well as Chaptai 3, Design of Structures, Components, and Systems.
The Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant was reviewed in accordance with Sections 2.2.1, 2.2.2, 2.2.3, 3.5.1.5 and 3.S.1.6 of the SRP.
The results of this review are contained in Section 2.2'of this SER.
2.2.1 Transportation Routes p;
The nearest through roads and their closest locations to the site are US Route.1A about' 1 1/4 miles north west of the plant and State Route 1011 which runs parallel to Route 1 about 2 miles north west of the Shearon' Harris site.
i State Routes 1134 and 1135 connect the plant site to Route 1 and Route 1011.

,7 has determined that the blast-overpressure will not affect the safety of the Conc #$
nuclear facility.
The staff eeneisens in this finding.
There are two small general aviation airports located within 10 miles of the reactor site.
Shelba is located approximately 6 miles east, and Luther is located about 8 miles north-north east of the site.
Both of these have an average of 10 landings per day.
The nearest major airport is the Raleigh-Durham airport, 20 miles north-north east of the plant site.
Two.T th Thummier airways pass within 10 miles of the
.Shearon Harris site.
These are shown in Figure 2.[.
The closest military airport is gab Pope Air Force Base, located 32 miles south of the Shearon Harris site, and adjacent to Fort Bragg.
