OFFSITE NOTIFICATION TO LOCAL AUTHORITIES DUE TO DISCOVERY OF SUICIDE VICTIM FOUND ON UTILITY PROPERTY OUTSIDE THE OWNER CONTROLLED AREA

"On 06/18/02 at 0842 Oconee Nuclear Station security discovered an apparent suicide victim parked on Duke Energy property outside the owner controlled area. The control room was notified and dispatched a Medical Emergency Response Team, which was unable to revive the victim. The individual was determined not to be a Duke Energy employee. Pickens County (South Carolina) authorities were notified and have responded to the scene. Pending the result of the coroner's investigation, cause of death is apparently self-induced carbon monoxide poisoning. A suicide note was found at the scene."

The NRC Resident Inspector was notified of this event by the licensee.
