NOTICE OF ISSUANCE OF DIRECTOR'S DECISION UNDER 10 CFR 42.206 By petition dated May 2,1979, Robert A. Backus, un behalf of the Seacoast Anti-Pollution League (SAPL) requested that the Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, issue an Order to Show Cause why Construction Permit Nos.

CPPR-135 and CDPR-136 for the Seabrook Station, Unit Nos. I and 2, should not be suspended or revoked. SAPL based its request on:

(1) Failure of NRC to require development of an evacuation plan beyond the low population zone as part of the construction permit pro-ceedings, and (2) Failure of NRC to evaluate the consequences of a Class 9 accident, including the necessity for evacuation beyond the low population Zone.

Notice of receipt of SAPL's petition was published in the Federal Register (44 F. R. 32054 (June 4,1979)). On July 30, 1979, the New England Coalition on Nuclear Pollution (NECNP) filed a memorandum in support of SAPL's petition.
