In the event that the NRC finds that the lack of progress in completion of the procedures in the Federal Emergency Management Agency's final rule, 44 CFR Part 350, is an indication that a major substantive problem exists in achieving or maintaining an adequate state of preparedness, the provisions of 10 CFR Section 50.54(s)(2) will apply.

Emeroency Preparedness Issues (ASLB PID, 9/18/84)
By June 4,1985, Duke Energy Corporation shall have submitted for l
staff review and received staff approval on the following items:
1.
The Public Information Brochure shall state that high levels of radiation are harmful to health and may be life threatening.
Such statements shall be contained within that portion of the brochure that deals with actions to be taken in the event of an emergency.
2.
The warning signs and decals shall specify the types of emergencies they cover including nuclear.
3.
The warning signs and decals shall notify transients as to where they can obtain local emergency information, as provided in NUREG-0654 Evaluation Criterion II.G.2.
4.
The emergency plans shall reflect the kinds of locations within the plume exposure EPZ wherein the warning signs and decals and emergency response information will be placed and the procedures employed to assure that sufficient numbers are being distributed to effectively reach transients, and that the plans are implemented.
5.
Comprehensive plans shall provide for early notificaticn to Carowinds of a radiologicas emergency at Catawba and for evacuation of Carowinds. The plans shall describe the res)onsibilities of the emergency response organizations of Mec(lenburg and York Counties and ptovide for the coordination of their efforts among themselves and with Carowinds' officials. The plans shall provide for immediate notification of patrons and staff of Carowinds at the time of the precautionary closing of the park, of the cause of the emergency. The means to implement the plans shall be made available.
(24) Additional Conditions The Additional Conditions contained in Appendix D, as revised through Amendment No. 159, are hereby incorporated into this license. Duke Energy Corporation shall operate the facility in l

- the requirement of paragraph III.A.(d) of Appendix J, insofar as it requires the venting-and draining of lines for type A tests (Section 6.2.6 of SSER 3), and (e) partial exemption from the requirements of paragraph-III.B of Appendix J, as it relates to bellows testing These exemptions are au(Section 6.2.6 of the SER and SSER 3).
thorized by law and will not endanger life or property or the common defense-and security and are otherwise in

These exemptions are, therefore, hereby granted pursuant to 10 CFR 50.12. With the granting of these exemptions, the facility will operate, to the extent authorized herein, in conformity with the application, as amended, the provisions of the Act, and.the rules and regulations of the Commission.

The plans, which contain safeguards information protected under 10 CFR 73.21, are entitled:
" Catawba Nuclear Station Physical Security Plan," with revisions submitted through October 6, 1987; " Catawba Nuclear Station Training and Qualification Plan," with revisions submitted through August.27, 1986; and " Catawba Nuclear Station Safeguards Contingency Plan," with revisions submitted through January 8, 1987.
Changes made in accordance with 10 CFR 73.55 shall be implemented in accordance with the schedule set forth therein.

. (13)~ Additional Conditions-i
- The Additional Conditions contained in Appendix D, as-revised throughl Amendment.No. 151, are hereby incorporated into this i
license. Duke. Energy Corporation shall operate the facility in-l accordance with the Additional Conditions.
D..
The facility requires exemptions from certain requirements of Appendix J to 10 CFR Part 50, as delineated below, and pursuant-to evaluations contained in the referenced SER and SSERs. These include (a) partial _
i exemstion from the requirement of paragraph III.D.2(b)(ii) of Appendix J, tie testing of containment airlocks at times when the containment integrity is not required (Section 6.2.6.of SSER #5), (b) exemption from the requirement of paragraph III.A.l(d) of Appendix J, insofar as it requires the venting and draining of lines for type A tests (Section 6.2.6 of SSER #5), and (c) partial exemption from the requirements of paragraph-III.B of Appendix J, as it relates to bellows testing-(Section 6.2.6 of the SER and SSER #5). These exemptions are authorized by law, will not present an undue risk to the public health and safety, and are consistent with the common defense and security; and certain special circumstances,-as discussed in Section 6.2.6 of SSER #5, are present.
These exemptions are, therefore, hereby granted pursuant to 10 CFR 50.12. With the granting of these exemptions, the facility will operate, to the extent authorized herein, in conformity with the application, as amended, the provisions of the Act, and the rules and regulations of the Commission.
In addition, two exemptions were c
previously granted pursuant to 10 CFR 50.12. A partial exemption from those portions of General Design Criterion 4 of Appendix A to 10 CFR 50 which require protection of structures, systems and components important to safety against dynamic effects associated with postulated reactor coolant system pipe breaks was-granted on April 23, 1985, for a period j.
ending with the completion of the second refueling outage for Catawba Unit 2 or the adoption of the proposed rulemaking for modification of GDC-4 whichever occurs first.
Effective May 12,-1986, GDC-4 has been modified to exclude from the design basis the protection of structures, systems and components against the dynamic effects associated with postulated pipe ruptures of primary coolant loop piping in PWRs when analyses demonstrate the probability of rupture of such piping to be i
extremely low under design basis conditions (51 FR 12502 April 11,-
1986). _ As a result of this final rule and Duke Energy Corporation's l
- demonstration in accordance with the rule, the;previously granted specific partial exemption will no longer be required, on the rule's o
effective date, and terminate by its own terms.
Furthermore, an exemption from the requirements of Appendix E, IV.F. insofar as they may 1
require the active participation of.all Crisis Management Center personnel. for the Catawba _ Station emergency preparedness exercises (Section 13.3 of SSER #4), was granted on January 17, 1985, by the-
- issuance of Facility Operating License No. NPF-35 for Cataea Nuclear' Station, Unit 1.
