President Ronald Reagan The White House Washington, D.C.

Dear President Reagan:

I am writing in relation to the Nuclear Regulatory Commi_ssionl earing of February 24 concerning shrinking uie erm.uouon zones around the Seabrook and Shoreham nuclear power plants.

I live approximately 10 miles from the Seabrook site and am quite familiar with the area, a tidal swamp with one narrow two-lane road as access to the whole ared, an area including numerous public beaches and an amusement park. It is an impossible site to evacuate, a fact' that was often raised with the builders of the plant, Public Service .,

Company of New Hampshiree since the plant was first proposed. Our only hope for avoiding a situation endancering the approximately 55,000 people inside the presently mandated'tsn; mils syscuition zonells';tfie-states' power over proposea evacuation plans. I am sure I don't need to rcmind you that in Chernobyl an area approximately 18 miles in radius was evacun ed.

For the sake of our local residents and our beautiful coastline, please do not encourage the NRC to 3iloers or dnor_enagnUddtqph_ buckle :1984under tn_n"#ssERJI.Qi%thc.

you pledged!to' Congressman Ellliam Carney that you did not favor the "imposition of Federal authority over the objections of state and local governments in matters regarding the adequacy of an emergency evacuation plan for a nuclear power plant." Please remain steady in this position. The stakes in our local area are much too high to buckle under to the financial pressure from the plant backers.

.,i.-

Thank you.

Sincerely, n, %w -
