'88 WN 27 P3 :14 June 6, 1988 Samuel J. Ch11k 0FF itt .- .i er Secretary of the Com dbkik h Attention: Docketing U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and Servicc Branch 1717 H Street, N.W.

Washington, D.C. 20555 Dear Sir On May 9, 1988, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) published a proposed change to its emergency planning requirements for fuel loading and low-power operation of nuclear power plants.

The proposed rule change would eliminate many existing low power licensing requirements, including offsite emergency renponse plans, any public-notification systems (including sirens), and the training of offsite emergency response personnel.

As a resident of the Seabrook nuclear nlant area, I vigorously oppose the proposed amendment to. existing safety requirements.

The proposed rule has been developed with only the utility's interests in mind. The NRC is once again moving to place the public at risk for the sole purpose of allowing Seabrook Station to obtain a low-power license, even though the question of whether it will ever be granted a full-power license is seriously in doubt.

In the interest of public safety, I urgo the Commission to reject the proposed rule change. All offsite ;.ergency response planning requirements must be in place before allowing any degree of risk to the public, including risks from low power operation.

Sincerely, gg R' Sp@e rt Elk M Name and Address:
