Dear Chairman Zech:

BRANCH I am a public health sanitarian for the Chatham County Health Department in North Carolina.

Our county is responsible for a 10 mile evacuation zone inside our county line around the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant which is located in Wake County near Raleigh, our state capital.

Opinions held by all of the Health Department public health nurses and sanitarians assigned to evacuation shelters (which are the three high schools in our county) are that the training and preparedness in the event of a nuclear accident at the Shearon Harris Plant has been severely lacking.

Most of the Public Health Nurses have not been briefed at all as to their duties and responsibilities to be carried out within the shelters.

Those of us (including myself) that received the briefing prior to the May 1985 evacuation drill conducted in the four counties surrounding the plant was inadequ.ite and consisted for the most part of being issued a dosimeter and having a photograph made for identification purposes.

I personally found the drill at the shelter in which I was usigned to be highly insuf-ficient. Communications were confusing with the control center, objectives for the drill were unclear, and there was no feedback from the Emergency Service Co-ordin-ator in our county providing for a concensus that our shelter was " set-up" in the most efficient manner.

I understand that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission will be reviewing a request from Carolina Power. and Light that an exemption from conducting another full-part-icipation evacuation drill be granted.

I am writing on behalf of all of the Public Health workers in Chatham County assigned to an evacuation shelter to stress our need and desire for another full-participation drill before the Shearon Harris Plant goes into commercial use.

I have enclosed a copy of a statement given to the three pertinent agency directors in our county expressing our reluctance to respond in the event of a nuclear accident for the most part due to the fact that our training and briefing has been so inadequate.

Another full-participatory drill would enable us to resolve some of the problems that are not yet resolved and give those who were not assigned to a shelter in 1985 the chance to participate in a drill and feel more prepared to act responsively should a real need arise.

Therefore, I request that the NRC compel Carolina Power and Light to conduct a Full Participation Emergency Exercise of the Replacement Plan before operation of the Shearon Harris Plant is authorized.
