The inspectors reviewed portions of the raw PI data developed from monthly performance indicator reports and discussed the methods for comp iling and repor ting the PIs with cognizant emergency preparedness personnel. The inspector also independently screened drill and exercise opportunity evaluations, drill participation reports, and drill evaluati ons. Selected reported values were calculated to verify their accuracy.

SHEARON HARRIS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT - NRC EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS INSPECTION REPORT 05000400/2008501

Dear Mr. Duncan:

On April 10, 2008, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an Emergency Preparedness inspection at Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant. The enclosed inspection report documents the inspection results, which were discussed on April 10, 2008, with Mr. C.

Burton and other members of your staff.

The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commission=s rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license.

The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel. Based on the results of this inspection, no findings of significance were identified.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

Sincerely,

a. Inspection Scope

Cornerstone: Emergency Preparedness

The inspector sampled licensee submittals for three Performance Indicators (PI) listed below. For each of the submittals reviewed, the inspector reviewed the period from January 2007 through December 2007. To verify the accuracy of the PI data reported during that period, PI definitions and guidance contained in Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 99-02, ARegulatory Assessment Indicator Guideline,@ Revision 5, were used to verify the basis in reporting for each data element.

$ Emergency Response Organization Drill/Exercise Performance (DEP)

$ Emergency Response Organization Readiness (ERO)

$ Alert and Notification System Reliability (ANS)

The inspectors reviewed portions of the raw PI data developed from monthly performance indicator reports and discussed the methods for compiling and reporting the PIs with cognizant emergency preparedness personnel. The inspector also independently screened drill and exercise opportunity evaluations, drill participation reports, and drill evaluations. Selected reported values were calculated to verify their accuracy. The inspectors compared graphical representations from the most recent PI report to the raw data to verify that the data was correctly reflected in the report.
