NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. 50-400]; [License Nos. Npf-63]
Carolina Power & Light Company; Receipt of Request for Action
Under 10 Cfr 2.206
Notice is hereby given that by petition dated September 20, 2006,
and its supplements dated October 23, and October 30, 2006, Mr. John D.
Runkle (attorney for the petitioners) has requested that the U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) take action with regard to Shearon
Harris Nuclear Power Plant (SHNPP). The petitioners request that NRC
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 discuss several fire
safety violations at SHNPP which could affect the safe operation of the
plant and safe shutdown of the plant in emergency situations. The
petitioners' concerns focus on faulty fire barriers, reliance on
indefinite compensatory measures, the risk associated with the
noncompliances, and the NRC's enforcement discretion policy. The
petitioners have also requested open and public proceedings with the
NRC; the licensee, Carolina Power & Light, now doing business as
Progress Energy; and external stakeholders in the vicinity of the
SHNPP.
The request is being treated pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of
Federal Regulations Section 2.206 (10 CFR 2.206) of the Commission's
regulations. As provided by 10 CFR 2.206, the agency will take
appropriate action on this petition within a reasonable time. A copy of
the petition is available for inspection at the Commission's Public
Document Room (PDR), located at One White Flint North, Public File Area
O1 F21, 11555 Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville, Maryland.
Publicly available records will be accessible from the Agencywide
Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Public Electronic
Reading Room on the Internet at the NRC Web site, http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html. Persons who do not have access to ADAMS or who

contact the NRC PDR Reference staff by telephone at 1-800-397-4209 or

For Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 4th day of December 2006.

Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
