Dear Mr. Zech:
I wish to urge denial of Carolina Power and Light Company's request for an exemption from the requirement, under 10 CFR 50, Appendix E, that the company conduct a full participation exercise of the Emergency Response Plan for its Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant within one year before beginning commercial operation of the plant or before operating at greater than five percent of rated power.
The people of our city and of the Triangle community have a substantial right under this law to reasonable assurances that the plan is feasible and provides for their safety in the event of an accident or other emergency at Shearon Harris. A full exercise test of the plan is the lawfully mandated procedure for instructing the public about what to expect and what to do in the event of an emergency, as well as for testing the adequacy and feasibility of the plan.
Such a test will also provide our administration with invaluable information in putting together our own evacuation plans.
In view of the substantial changes made and anticipated to be made in the plan since the previous exercise in May, 1985, and of the substantial problems demon-strated by the previous exercise, it is especially important that a full exercise test of the plan be conducted before the company is licensed to begin commercial operation.
On behalf of the citizens of Durham, I therefore urge that the company's exemption request be denied.
