Attention: Docketing and Service Branch Gentlemen l

i am totally' opposed to your proposed rule change regarding Jmergency Planning Zoner, which would allow n

L nuclear facilities to write and institute their.own l

L evacuation plans in the event that state and lo' cal l.

officials have determined that such plans are unworkable l

(and will-not participate in planning anythind less).

Locally, the 9~;abrook nuclear plant is the issue.

Governor Dukakis may or may not be opposed to nuclear

-power, but his decision not to approve evacuation plaas for the..;assachusetts communities within ten miles of the plant ic clearly -based only in issues of safety, p

There is simply no way to evacuate the population surrounding the nuclear plant in any reasonable amount l

o f time, and to pretend otherwise is to jeopardize the safety and liveu of thou2ande of people.

L.

r l-The proposed rule change, as relates to Ceabrook, ir abcolu tely foolhardy.

If anything, the evacuation radits should be expanded, and sites for future nuclear power plants should be cited far away from dence population e

I areas.

The mictake for building the Seabrook plant in an area that cannot be-evacuated must not be borne by local residents.

Sincerely youre,

[
