Cornerstone:
1EP2 Alert and Notification System Testing
a. Inspection Scope
The inspector evaluated the adequacy of licensee
=s methods for testing the alert and notification system in accordance with NRC Inspection Procedure 71114, Attachment 02, AAlert and Notification System Evaluation
@. The applicable planning standard 10 CFR Part 50.47(b)(5) and its related 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix E, Section IV.D requirements were used as reference criteria. The criteria contained in NUREG-0654, ACriteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants,@ Revision 1, was also used as a reference.
The inspector reviewed various documents which are listed in the Attachment to this report. This inspection activity satisfied one inspection sample for the alert and notification system on an biennial basis.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
1EP3 Emergency Response Organization Augmentation
a. Inspection Scope
The inspector reviewed the licensee
=s Emergency Response Organization (ERO) augmentation staffing requirements and process for notifying the ERO to ensure the readiness of key staff for responding to an event and timely facility activation. The qualification records of key position ERO personnel were reviewed to ensure all ERO qualifications were current. A sample of problems identified from augment ation drills or system tests performed since the last inspection were reviewed to assess the effectiveness of corrective actions.
The inspection was conducted in accordance with NRC Inspection Procedure 71114, 03, AEmergency Response Organization Staffing and Augmentation System.
@ The applicable planning standard, 10 CFR 50.47(b)(2) and its related 10 CFR 50, Appendix E requirements were used as reference criteria.

a. Inspection Scope
The inspector
=s review of revisions to the emergency plan, implementing procedures, and Emergency Action Level (EAL) changes was performed to determine that changes had not decreased the effectiveness of the plan. The inspector evaluated the associated 10 CFR 50.54(q) reviews associated with non-administrative emergency plan, implementing procedures, and EAL changes. The inspector reviewed Shearon Harris Emergency Plan revision 46 and changes to the implementing procedures from February 2007 to February 2008.

No findings of significance were identified.
1EP5 Correction of Emergency Preparedness Weaknesses and Deficiencies
a. Inspection Scope
The inspector reviewed the corrective actions identified through the EP program to determine the significance of the issues and to determine if repeat problems were occurring. The facility
=s self-assessments and audits were reviewed to assess the licensee=s ability to be self-critical, thus avoiding complacency and degradation of their EP program. In addition, inspector reviewed licensee
=s self-assessments and audits to assess the completeness and effectiveness of all EP-related corrective actions.
The inspection was conducted in accordance with NRC Inspection Procedure 71114, 05, ACorrection of Emergency Preparedness Weaknesses.
@ The applicable planning standard, 10 CFR 50.47(b)(14) and its related 10 CFR 50, Appendix E requirements were used as reference criteria.
The inspector reviewed various documents which are listed in the Attachment to this report. This inspection activity satisfied one inspection sample for the correction of emergency preparedness weaknesses on a biennial basis.
Findings No findings of significance were identified.
OTHER ACTIVITIES
4OA1 Performance Indicator Verification
a. Inspection Scope
Cornerstone:
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 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. 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.
Reviewed documents are listed in the Attachment to this report.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
4OA6 Meetings, including Exit
On April 10, 2008, the lead inspector presented the inspection results to Mr. C. Burton and other members of your staff. The inspector confirmed that proprietary information was not provided during the inspection.
