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 
encounter problems in accessing the documents located in ADAMS should 
contact the NRC PDR Reference staff by telephone at 1-800-397-4209 or 
301-415-4737, or by e-mail to [email protected].

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

J.E. Dyer,
Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
