Atomic Safety & Licencing Washington, D.C. 20555 Daar Mr. Miller:

As a personal witness to the initial testing of the stationary, in place siren warning system of the Texas Utilities Generating Company, I wish to report that the performance system is totally unacceptable. The system when fired must have had a very low decibel rating for it was barely distinguishable by me while siting in my office.

I heard an unusual siren' sound on the day of the testing that did not l alert me to the fact it could be the proposed warning system, About an hour later I received a visit from a newsman (Channel 5-WBAP, Fort Worth) who informed me that this was not a low testing of equipment but in fact a test showing the full capabilities of the system as it will be used in our part of the county.

l l It is unconcievable that our citizenry could be properly warned and

! notified by the sounds being emitted by this system. I have talked to people living in various sections of the county concerning this subject and many were completely unaware that the test had even taken place.

It is my understanding that before your operating license is issued that a proper warning system be in place and operational. Please place in your record that as of this date I have no knowledge that such a

-system exist in Somervell County.
