Dear Dr. Grace:

Carolina Power & Light Company (CP&L) has scheduled a full-scale emergency preparedness exercise for the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant (SHNPP) for February 28,1987. This exercise is intended to fulfill the " full participation" exercise scope recuirements set forth in 10 CFR 50, Appendix E. This letter provides the scope of the February exercise and the objectives to be fulfilled (i.e., the 75-day submittal) as requested in the October 11,1984 letter from Mr. R. C. Lewis to Mr. E. E.

emergency classification, notification of off-site organizations and plant personnel, actions to correct the emergency conditions, and initiation of accident assessment and protective actions as necessary to cope with the accident. The full-scale exercise will simulate an emergency that results in off-site radiological releases. Off-site participants in this exercise will include the State of North Carolina; the counties of Chatham, Harnett, Lee, and Wake; and support agencies necessary to implement their emergency response plans in support of SHNPP.

Objectives of this exercise are to:

• Demonstrate the ability of the control room staff to perform accident assessment and implement those appropriate mitigating actions necessary to place the plant in a safe and stable condition.

• Demonstrate the ability to augment the on-shif t emergency organization within the time limits specified within the emergency plan and implementing procedures.
