NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket No. 50–400 License No. NPF–63] 

Carolina Power & Light Company; 

Notice of Issuance of Director’s 

Decision Under 10 CFR 2.206 

Notice is hereby given that the 

Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor 

Regulation has issued a director’s 

decision with regard to a petition dated 

September 20, 2006, filed by Mr. John 

D. Runkle, attorney for North Carolina 

Waste Awareness and Reduction 

Network and numerous other 

organizations, hereinafter referred to as 

the ‘‘Petitioners.’’ The petition was 

supplemented by documents dated 

September 21, October 30, November 

29, 2006, and February 8, 2007. The 

petition concerns longstanding fire 

protection issues at the Shearon Harris 

Nuclear Power Plant (SHNPP or the 

Licensee). 

The Petitioners requested that the 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) 

staff take enforcement action in the form 

of an order that would revoke SHNPP’s 

operating license or impose maximum 

fines for each violation for each day the 

plant has been in violation of fire 

protection regulations. 

As the basis for this request, the 

Petitioners discussed several fire safety 

issues at SHNPP that they believe could 

affect the safe operation of the plant and 

safe shutdown of the plant in emergency 

situations. The Petitioners’ concerns 

focused on noncompliances, the risk 

associated with the noncompliances, 

reliance on compensatory measures, the 

NRC’s policy on the use of enforcement 

discretion regarding certain fire 

protection issues, and intentional acts of 

sabotage or terrorism. 

On November 13, 2006, the NRC 

conducted a public meeting at NRC 

headquarters regarding fire protection 

issues at SHNPP. The meeting gave the 

Petitioners and the SHNPP Licensee an 

opportunity to provide additional 

information to the NRC’s Petition 

Review Board and to clarify issues 

raised in the petition. 

The NRC staff sent a copy of the 

proposed Director’s Decision to the 

Petitioners and to the SHNPP Licensee 

for comment by letters dated April 2, 

2007. The Petitioners and the Licensee 

submitted comments by letters dated 

May 1, 2007, and these comments are 

addressed in the final Director’s 

Decision. 

The Director of the Office of Nuclear 

Reactor Regulation has determined that 

the requests to revoke SHNPP’s 

Operating License or impose maximum 

fines for each violation for each day the 

plant has been in violation of fire 

protection regulations are denied. The 

reasons for this decision are explained 

in the Director’s Decision pursuant to 

Title 10 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (10 CFR) Section 2.206 

(DD–07–03), the complete text of which 

is available in ADAMS for inspection at 

the Commission’s Public Document 

Room, located at One White Flint North, 

Public File Area O1 F21, 11555 

Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville, 

Maryland, and from the ADAMS Public 

Library component on the NRC’s Web 

site, http://www.nrc.gov/readingrm.html (the Public Electronic Reading 

Room) using Accession Number 

ML071490145. 

In summary, the Director’s Decision 

denies the Petitioners’ requests due to 

the determination by the NRC staff that 

the plant may continue operation and 

the Licensee’s efforts to transition to the 

risk-informed, performance-based 

standards in 10 CFR 50.48(c). In 

addition, the Licensee is actively 

identifying and completing corrective 

actions, including plant modifications 

and reanalysis efforts associated with 

meeting the new standards in 10 CFR 

50.48(c), and has in place compensatory 

measures to account for existing 

noncompliances. The Licensee 

continues to have available several 

levels of defense-in-depth in fire 

protection. The Licensee has been 

granted enforcement discretion under 

the NRC’s ‘‘Interim Enforcement Policy 

Regarding Enforcement Discretion for 

Certain Fire Protection Issues (10 CFR 

50.48(c)).’’ The NRC has followed and 

continues to follow existing regulatory 

processes, policies and programs to 

verify that the Licensee is properly 

implementing its fire protection 

program at SHNPP in accordance with 

NRC rules and regulations. 

A copy of the director’s decision will 

be filed with the Secretary of the 

Commission for the Commission’s 

review in accordance with 10 CFR 2.206 

of the Commission’s regulations. As 

provided for by this regulation, the 

director’s decision will constitute the 

final action of the Commission 25 days 

after the date of the decision, unless the 

Commission, on its own motion, 

institutes a review of the director’s 

decision in that time. 

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 13 day 

of June, 2007. 

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. 

James T. Wiggins, 

Acting Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor 

Regulation.
