SECY-01-0013 - Carolina Power & Light Company (Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant); Orange County's Petition for Review and Request for Immediate Suspension and Stay of the NRC Staff's "No Significant Hazards Consideration" Determination and Issuance of License Amendment for Shearon Harris Spent Fuel Pool Expansion

The Commission⁽¹⁾ approved a Memorandum and Order responding to Orange County's petition for review and request for a stay related to the license amendment application filed by Carolina Power & Light Company (CP&L) to increase the spent fuel storage capacity at its Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant. The Memorandum and Order rejects Orange County's petition, but directs the staff to file a brief addressing certain matters identified in the Memorandum and Order. In addition, CP&L is directed to store no spent fuel under the license amendment pending further action by the Commission or a Licensing Board decision approving the amendment, whichever comes sooner.

(Subsequently, on February 14, 2001, the Secretary signed the Memorandum and Order.)
