SLIDE 2 BACKGROUND - Discussion Owners and Licensees ,
As shown on the slide, the Owners and Licensees for the Harris facility are the Carolina Power & Light Company, which has 84% of the ownerhship, and florth Carolina Eastern Municipal Power Agency has 16% of the ownership.
CP&L. is also the operator of the Robinson-2 and Brunswick nuclear plants.
The Robinson plant is a 3-loop W PWR rated at 665 MWe and has been in commercial operation since 1971.
The Brunswick Units 1 & 2 are BWas, each rated at 790 MWe. Unit I has been in commercial operation since 1977, and Unit 2 has been in commercial operation since 1975.
General Plant Design Read from slide.
i Site The 10,800 acre site was originally sized for four units. There are two
! reservoirs on the site. The main reservoir is 4000 acres, the auxiliary reservoir is 4400 acre-feet. The auxiliary reservoir is the ultimate heat sink. In the event of a LOCA the 30-day water loss due to evaporation woul'd be 286 acre-feet. As shown on the slide, the site is located in Chatham and Wake County, North Carolina.

SLIDE 3 PLANT DESIGN - Discussion NSSS CHARACTERISTICS Read from slide.
CONTAINMENT CHARACTERISTICS The containment is a large, dry, steel-lined reinforced concrete structure 3
having a free volume of 2,266,000 ft having an internal design pressure of 45 psig.
OTHER FEATURES f
The spent fuel pools at the Harris facility were designed to accommodate the storage of spent fuel generated from the operation of 4 reactors. The pools have storage capacity for approximately 4000 PWR fuel assemblies.
The Radwaste Processing Facility capability is larger than one would normally expect for a one unit site. The radwaste processing facility, i.e., the building was sized to process waste that would be generated by operation of four reactors. As a result of the cancellation of Units 2, 3, and 4 certain processing equipment was not installed. While it is difficult to quantify, the actual installed reprocessing equipment is judged to be capable of pro-cessing radwaste from 1.5 to 2 reactors.
Summary In summary, many features of the Harris plant are similar to those previously evaluated and approved by the NRC staff.
There are a total of 11 operating plants in the United States of a similar design as the Harris plant with about 100 operating years of experience.

1 SLIDE 4 MAJOR ISSUES - Discussion There are two TDI diesels at the Shearon Harris site which are identical to the engines used at the Catawba 1 & 2, Grand Gulf, Clinton and the Perry facilities. CP&L is an active member of the TDI Owners Group and has completed their design and quality revalidation program.
The staff has reviewed the above CP&L program and found that it was acceptable as reported in Supplement 4. The staff will continue to track the performance of these diesel generators over the longer term.
FIRE PROTECTION The NRR staff and Region II conducted an extensive evaluation of the fire protection program including detailed walkdown at the plant.
The staff has reviewed the fire protection program for conformance with SRP 9.5.1 (NUREG-0800), which contains, in BTP CMEB 9.5.1, the technical require-ments of Appendix A to BTP ASB 9.5-1 and Appendix R to 10 CFR 50. The review included an evaluation of the automatic and manually operated water and gas suppression systems, the fire detection systems, fire barriers, fire doors and
. dampers, fire protection administrative controls, and the fire brigade size.
The objective of the review is to ensure that in the event of a fire, personnel and plant equipment would be adequate to safely shut down the reactor, to maintain the plant in a safe shutdown condition, and to minimize the release of radioactive material to the environment.
CP&L has also provided an alternate shutdown capability for the control room and cable spreading room.

Please consider " documents" to include reports, studies, test results, correspondence, memoranda, meeting notes, meeting minutes, working papers, graphs, charts, diagrams, notes and summaries of conversation and interviews, computer records, and any other forms of written communication, including internal NRC Staff memoranda.
Pursuant to this request, please provide all documents prepared or utilized by, in the possession of, or routed through the NRC related to :
- 1. the scheduling of the 12/18/86 hearing for the Shearon Harris full--power operating license, include communication to or from Carolina Power and Light;
- 2. the issues to be, or required to be, resolved before full-power operation or the issuance of the full-power operating license, including facts, investigations, and information bearing t
on any one or more of these issues;
- 3. all information presented to or prepared for any Commissioner or the Commission Staff regarding the full-power i
l operating license for the Shearon Harris nuclear power plant since June 1, 1986, include any information or issues not chosen by the NRC Staff, Commissioner, or anyone else, to be resolved prior to the issuance of the full-power operating license for the Shearon Harris nuclear power plant.

o e In your response, please provide a list of of fices to which this request was forwarded.
In our opinion, it is appropriate in this case for you to waive search charges, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 522 (a) (4) (A) "because furnishing the information can be considered as primarily benefiting the general public." The Nuclear Information and Resource Service is a non-profit organization serving local organizations concerned about nuclear power and provides information to the general public, members of Congress, State and local officials.
We look forward to your prompt reply.
Sincerely,
