Public Comment on 10 CFR Part 50 Hon. Leonard A. Sisith stuart A. Smith We, Republicans Against Seabook Station, HN nIw$r regt3st that the NPC deny the proposed rule Hon. John R. Valk.r change which would remove the requirement for hon. Loutsa x voodman warning / alert systems being in place (and working) at nuclear powered generating plants, in particular, citAInxAn Seabrook Station.

Hon. Roger L. Easton The requested denial would keep the warning /

alert systems in place - a requirement to be met for present purposes of low power licensing, which is basic to public safety.

Reasons: Keeping in mind that Seabrook Station was sited in 1968 and that the population within the 10 mile radius was belo,w 72,0001 at that time, and that no new roadways / transportation systems have been made available and the population level is now over 231,0002, it appears prudent to provide the public every opportunity to escape radiation dosage from Seabrook Station.

We believe, at low power, emergency planning and preparedness measures are imperative in the event of a plant accident, terrorist attack or sabotage.

Secondly, the lesson of Shoraham should provide the NRC with the knowledge of a judgement mistake which should not be repeated: One does not low level license (contaminate) a nuclear .

plant without absolute assurance that full commercial licensing will soon follow. Shoreham proved to be economic suicide.
