WASHINGTON. DC 20410 November-14, 1989 CP'-
The Honorable Kenneth M. Carr MN i,
Chairman

U..S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555
' SERva N0'/c17 M
Dear Mr. Chairman:
s I was astonished to. find on page 569 of the Atomic
= Safety and Licensing Board's (ASLB) Partial Initial Decision
- on seabrook'that the ASLB was, in af fact, ignoring four contentions with regard-to the New Hampshire Radiological Emergency Response' Plan which'were remanded by the Atomic Licensing. Appeal Board last week.
The,ASLB said: "The Board has carefully read ALAB-924 a
[the Appeal Board's decision), ovaluated the remanded issues, and studied the Appeal Board's directions to this Board.
We concluded that those issues and directions do not preclude the immediate issuance of an operating license for the Seabrook Station."
I cannot recall a more disturbing disregard-for the-
-protection of public health and. safety in the-Seabrook proceedings.
ALAB-924 was issued on November 7.
It is a 71 page document.
The contentions which were remanded--
sheltering the. beach population, evacuation of handicapped people and others with "special needs", and the safety of school children--are complex and important.
It seems inconceivable that, in less than two days, the ASLB was able to " carefully read" the order, " evaluate" the l
remanded issues, " study" the Appeal Board's directions and come to the conclusion that the contentions should not precludo an operating licenso.
Inasmuch as the adequato resolution of these contentions will directly affect the safety of New Hampshire residents, I insist that the Commission uphold d e process in its administrative proceedings.
In my tiow, tha issues raised by Appeal Board last week must be rese:'ed to assure the safety of the public.
I ask that the Commission ensure that the contentions remanded last week are resolved after thorough and. deliberate reviow before an operating license is issued.
Sincorely yours, B912040165 891114 PDR ADOCK 05000443 I
