Docket No. 50-400 OL Administrative Judges Kelley, Bright and Carpenter:

Enclosed are copies of the text of the " school brochure" to be distributed through the school systems to students and their parents throughout the Harris plume emergency planning zone ("EPZ"). The school brochure will also include a map of the EPZ, as well as a chart correlating the schools within the EPZ with the shelters to which those schools would be evacuated. However, because the map and the chart already have been served on the Board and the parties as a part of the " Safety Information" brochure for the general public, the map and the chart are not enclosed here.

The previously served " Safety Information" brochure fulfills the NRC/ FEMA regulatory requirements for printed public education /information material. Applicants therefore do not rely upon the enclosed school brochure for compliance with any regulatory requirement. Accordingly, the school brochure is provided to the Board and the parties for their information only.

Dear Student:

This booklet is for you and your parents. It tells you about the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant and what to do if there is ever an emergency at the plant. The booklet is part of the plans made by your state, your county and the plant. It will tell you what to do if you ever hear loud sirens around the plant.

Your teacher will tell you about this booklet and answer your questions. Be sure to read the booklet and take it home for your parents to read. They also need to know what to do if they hear sirens while you are at school or at home alone.

If you live within 10 miles of the Harris plant, your family will also get information in the mail about what to do in an emergency. Ask your parents to keep all of this information in a safe place. These materials will tell your parents where you will go if your schoolis evacuated. You and your parents should talk about all of this information now.

We expect the Harris plant to run safely. But we want you, your teachers and your parents to know what to do if there is ever an emergency at the plant. We want you to have this plan so you will be prepared. You should know what to do, just like you know what to do when there is a storm, a fire or any other kind of emergency that might affect your safety.

Sincerely, Al Watson Vice President Harris Nuclear Project

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Q: What is the Harris plant?

A: The Harris plant is a power plant in Wake County. It uses nuclear fuel to make electricity. It will begin to operate in 1986. The plant will supply electricity to homes, industries and businesses. A nuclear plant heats water and turns it into steam. The steam drives the plant's turbine generator to make electricity. Carolina Power & Light Company (CP&L) runs the Harris plant and two other nuclear power plants. CP&L has run nuclear plants since 1971.

Q: How would I know if there were ever an accident at the Harris plant?

A: Your teachers and principal will be among the first people to know. They will tell you. The sirens will also sound. The sirens make a loud, steady tone for about three minutes. They will be a signal for people to turn on a radio or TV to find out what to do. Your teachers will already know what to do.

Q: What should I do if I'm at school and the sirens go off?

As Your teachers will tell you what to do. Stay calm and stay with your class. You may ride a bus to a school nearby. Or you may stay at your school until the emergency is over. Radio and TV stations will tell your parents where you are.

l Q: Why would we ride a bus to another school?

f At Emergency plans have been made for people in the 10-mile area around the Harris plant.

Some schools outside this area have been picked as Evacuation Shelters. For your safety, I

you may ride a bus to one of these Evacuation Shelters.

. Q: What happens at the Evacuation Shelter?

A: First, you will sign in at the Evacuation Shelter. You will be given food and any other things that you need. You may be asked to stay there for several hours or more. There will be many people there with you. Some teachers from your school will be there if you came from school. Your parents will also come to be with you. When the emergency is over, you can go home. If you don't have a ride home, someone will take you.

Q: If there is an accident at the Harris plant, will all schools within 10 miles of the plant be evacuated or told to stay indoors?

A: Maybe not. To plan for an emergency, the area within 10 miles of the Harris plant has been divided into sub-zones. These sub-zones are called by the letters A through N. Look at the map in this booklet. Find the sub-zone where you live. Also find the sub-zone where you go to school. If there is an emergency at the IIarris plant, some of the sub-zones might be asked to evacuate or stay indoors. Others might not.

Q: Will the sub-zone for my home be the same as the sub-zone for my school?

A: It might not be. That's why you need to look at the map now. You and your parents should remember what sub-zone you go to schoolin and what sub-zone you live in.

Q: If my school is evacuated, can I go home?

A:

No. First you should go with your class to the Evacuation Shelter for your school. Sign in.

Stay with your class. If the area where you live has not been evacuated, you may be allowed to go home after you have signed in. If your home has been evacuated, you will stay at the Evacuation Shelter until your parents pick you up.

.. Q: If I ride a bus from school to an Evacuation Shelter, what should my parents do?

A: Your parents should listen to the radio or TV to get instructions and find out where you are. They will come to your school's Evacuation Shelter to be with you.

Q: What should my parents do if my school is in a sub-zone that is told to stay indoors?

A: Your parents should not try to pick you up. They should listen to the TV or radio to get instructions. Teachers and other school officials will care for you. When the emergency is over, your parents can come to pick you up. Or you can go home as you always do after school. If you don't have a ride home, someone will take you.

4 Q: What should I do if I drive a car to school, and the school is evacuated?

A: You will need to drive to your school's Evacuation Shelter and sign in.

Q: What should I do if my family has only one car and I drive it to school?

A: If your home is evacuated, you may need to go home and pick up your family. Then you should all go to the Evacuation Shelter for your home to sign in. If your schoolis evacuated, but your home is not, you should go straight to your school's Evacuation Shelter and sign in.

j Q: What should I do if I am at home and the sirens go off?

A: If you are outside, go inside right away. Turn on the radio or TV. Listen for instructions.

l If the radio or TV tells your sub-zone to stay indoors or to evacuate, follow the instructions.

l 1

. Q: What should I do if I'm home alone and the radio or TV says to stay inside?

A: Close the windows and doors. Turn off all fans. Turn off the furnace or air conditioner.

Ask your parents to show you how to do this now. Stay inside. Listen to the radio or TV until the emergency is over.

Q: What should I do if I'm home alone, and the radio or TV says to evacuate, but I don't have a ride?

A: Wait for your parents to come home and get you. Or ride to the Evacuation Shelter with a friend or neighbor. If you sometimes stay home alone, you and your parents should work out a plan to get you to the Evacuation Shelter. 'If you plan to ride with a friend or neighbor, have your parents tell them of the plan. Then if your sub-zone is told to evacuate, they will know to take you with them. It is very important that you and your parents make a plan now.

Q: What if I don't hear any instructions on the radio or TV after the sirens go off?

A: You may have heard a test of the sirens. Keep listening to the radio or TV. If you still don't hear anything aldut the sirens, call your parents. Or call your county officials. Use
