Ms. Elinor G. Adansam's letter of January 20, 1984 transmitted five comments l from the NRC staff on the Catawba Public Information Brochure. Since the brochure was distributed to the public approximately February 2, 1984, it was not possible to consider the staff's comments in the current brochure.
These comments will be considered in a future revision. A copy of the current brochure is attached.
Ms. E. G. Adensam's letter of April 10, 1984 requested additional information on the development of the Catawba Plume Exposure Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ).
The requested information is attached.

Catawba Wclear Station 810.55 Discuss in detail how you have used the factors in 10 CFR 50.47(c)(2) in determining the size and configuration of the EPZ.

Response
- The Catawba Nuclear Station Plume Exposure Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ)
) was configured to take into account local emergency planning needs and .
{ capabilities as they are affected by such conditions as demography,' topography, 1and characteristics, access routes, and jurisdictional _ boundaries.
The Catawba EPZ was developed by North Carolina, South Carolin.a. and local t
planners. Duke Power Company took a retrospective view of the proposed layout and made certain suggestions to the planners to ensure the EPZ was configured to follow the guidance in 10 CFR 50.47(c)(2). Specifically, l Duke Power suggested the use of Fishing Creek as a major part of the SW 5_ boundary, and that in Mecklenburg County, public protective action zones i be developed which follow a 2 mile, 5 mile, and about 10 mile distance rather than use operations zones which are based on supplemental warning capabilities.
The Catawba EPZ takes into account demography and jurisdictionalJboundaries in two ways. First, any city having a major portion residing in the 10 mile
, area was included in the formal EPZ.- This philosophy allowed inclusion of all of Rock Hill, South Carolina; York, South Carolina; Clover, South Carolina; I and Pineville, North Carolina. -Secondly, by reviewing the population densities l within 10 miles it was apparent Lthat inclusion of these population centers i considers the effects of-demography. Jurisdictional boundaries of Mecklenburg, Gaston, and York Counties were used to form individual zones within the EPZ.
. There were no special considerations of topography, land characteristics or-access routes. required as the region is more aptly separated by governmental jurisdictional boundaries and adequate access routes are available in all-
[ areas as evidenced by the evacuation time study.
l In summary, the planning that was:used to establish the Catawba Nuclear .-
l Station EPZ takes into account the items referenced in 10 CFR 50.47(c)(2).

First, the outermost jurisdictional boundaries of Charlotte were no closer than 9.7 miles and in most cases along the NE sector were 11 or more miles away. Secondly, demography, in terms of population density, does not exceed 2000 people per square mile up to 14 miles from Catawba in the Charlotte sector. Further, there were no special topographical, land, or access route considerations that would have caused Charlotte to be included. Finally, when the NRC and EPA Task Force wrote NUREG-0396 (which formed the basis for
, the "about 10 mile distance" referenced in 10 CFR 50.47(c)(2)) and evaluated the necessary distance for the plume exposure EPZ,.they made a summary state-ment as to the importance or necessity of planning outside of 10 miles. On page I-52 NUREG-0396 states, "Although protective actions may be required for individuals located in areas further than 10 miles from the reactor, for an atmospheric release, the actual measures used and how rapidly or efficiently they are implemented will not strongly influence ~
the number of projected early health effects."
Based on this statement and the fact that Charlotte has an emergency plan that provides for evacuation outside of 10 miles if the need arises (see R. M. Glover affidavit of November 3,1983 for copy of City of Charlotte All Hazards Emergency Plan), it is not necessary to include Charlotte or a part of SW Charlotte into -the Catawba EPZ.

- How It Works The Catawba Nuclear Station uses steam to generate elec-tricity. Steam pushe.s against the blades of a turbine to turn 'w them. As the turbine spins, it turns a generator. The generator _
produces electricity.
Since Catawba is a nuclear station. it uses uranium as its fuel. _
Uranium atoms can be split apart. This process is called nuclear fission. When the a'. oms split, heat and fission products are produced. The heat is used to make steam. Some of the fission products are radioactive. The plant is designed to keep _
this radiation inside.
- There are three separate systems of water at Catawba. Water .' -
in one system doesn't touch water in another system. _
The first system is the primary water system (shown in green). ---
- It circulates around the nuclear fuel, called the core (1).
As it flows through the reactor (2), it heats to about 600" E ,
Because this water is under very high pressure, it does not boil.
The amount of heat produced in the reactor is controlled by control rods (3). The reactor shuts down when the control rods are lowered.
7 The heated primary water next flows through u-shaped tubes in the steam generator (4). There it gives off its heat to water (dark f
- blue) in the secondary water system. P is then pumped back to 4 the reactor to be heated again.
- Water in the secondary system is changed to steam (light blue) in the steam generator. The steam spins a turbine (5) connected i to an electric generator (6) and produces electricity. As the _
steam leaves the turbine, it f alls on pipes (7) carrying cooling _
water in the third system (yellow). This water comes from the _
cooling towers (8).
L As the steam hits the outside of the pipes, it is changed back to water. It is then pumped to the steam generator to be heated to steam again. The steam heats the water inside the pipes. Before
? it can be used again, it must be cooled in the cooling towers.

.._% -__.,.* ._-_..,,---. ..w.-%-------~---------------h-Radiation . . . Radiation is energy. Radar, radio waves, ultraviolet (sun) rays A Fact Of Life and X-rays are common forms of radiation.
Radiation is all around us. It is in the air we breathe. in the food we eat and in our homes. It is even in our bodies. These sources of radiation are lumped together and called background radiation.
In adoition to natural background radiation, there is also man-5 made radiation. It comes from such things as medical and dental X-rays and treatments. Very small amounts of radiation ..
comes from the generation of nuclear power.
There are three types of radiation: alpha particles, beta particles and gamma rays. Alpha particles are the least penetrating.
They can be stopped by a sheet of paper. Beta particles can be stopped by a thin sheet of metal. Gamma rays are the most penetrating. They can be almost completely stopped by three feet of concrete.
Radiation is measured in units called millirams. The average person receives about 180 millirems of bai round and man- --
made rad;ation a year. Each year we get t e radiation from -
L natural sources than we get from an operaung nuclear plant.
The chart on the opposite page shows how much radiation we ' ' -
get from different things. You can see an operating nuclear power plant adds very litt!e to how much radiation we get.
If there were a major emergency at Catawba, people in areas neai the piant could be exposed to high levels of radiation.
Exposure to high levels of radiation causes health effects. For your protection, follow the instructions on the emergency broad-cast stations.
If radiation were released, you could protect yourself by:
~
1 Following the instructions given by the emergency broadcast radio or television station.
2 If instructed, leave the area and check in at a shelter.
3 If you are told to stay indoors. turn off fans, air conditioners, and forced-air heating units. Close all windows and doors.
4 Hold a damp cloth over your nose and mouth.
J 5 Limit the amount of time you are outdoors.
f Unborn babies and children up to six years old are more likely than other people to be harmed by radiation. Because of this, ,
early precautions might be ordered for women who are, or could be, p agnant and very young children.
? Most evidence shows radiation doses of 25 to 50,000 millirems do not cause permanent health effects. To be extra careful, pro-tective actions would be ordered at much lower levels. This 4
would provide you and your family more time to take shelter or, if necessary, to evacuate. z .

.; Emergency One of the four classifications below would be used to describe Classifications a nuclear plant emergency. You should know these terms. Duke Power would contact federal, state and local authorities in each -
of the following situations.
1 An Unusual Event is the least serious of the four warning '
classifications. It means there is a minor problem at the station that is being handled by plant workers. Because of strict federal regulations, a number of problems are reported as unusual .
events even though they pose no danger to the public. They -
would be reported to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and .
J to state and local officia!s. No release of radiation is expected.
You will not have to do anything.
; 2 An Alert is an event that could affect plant safety. Although there is still no danger to the public, county and state officials .
begin getting emergency operation centers ready in case the [ '
situation gets worse. You probably will not nave to do anything. [ J
{ j 3 A Site Area Emergency is an event that could possibly affect the public. Small amounts of radiation coJld be released -
outside the station. The sirens are sounded to alert the public to - -
listen to the emergency broadcast stations for irformation and instructions.
