Secretary of the Commission U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 1717 H. Street, N.W.
Washington, D.C.
20555 Attention: Docketing and Service Branch
Dear Mr. Chulk:
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission recently published a proposed change to its emergency planning requirements for f uel loading and low power operation of nuclear power plants.
This proposed rule change would remove many existing low power licensing requirements, including offsite emergency response plans, any public-notification systems (including sirens), and the tralning of offsite emergency response personnel.
As a resident of Plum Island which is in the Seabrook nuclear power plan area, I strongly oppose the proposed amendment to these existing safety requirements.
The proposed rule has been developed with only the power plants 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 saf ety, I urge the Commission to reject the proposed rule change.
All offsite emergency response planning requirements must be in place before allowing any degree of risk to the public, including risks from low power operation.
