. W.e. !.!1 $ 5 F R S June 1, 1988 88 JW -1 N0 :34 Secretary of the Commission sn u ty"> >..f +v iu Attn:
Docketing and Service Branch 00Cni U. 3. Nuclear Regulatory Comnission Washington, D.C.
20555 Gentlenen:
We a re writing to you to urge support and implementation of your proposed new rule that will make it clear that off-site emergency sirens need not be in place when low-power testing is conducted.
We agreewith the experts that such low-power testing poses no threat to the public outside die plant and therefore, sirens are unnecessary.
In particular, New England needs a 11 the power it car genera te and we believe Seabrook is an already completed answer to this need.
We further believe that when following your reculations, nuclear power and in particular Seabrook is less detrimental to the e nvironment than alterna tive power sources.
Public officials in Massachusetts have made Seabrook a political football and are not giving any credence to the technical merits.
They have even gone so far as to have already installed siren systems removed by so persuading some local public official:
They have maca t his a game of obstructionist tactics.
This make s it even nore.7portant and necessary that the NRC should make the decision as to when and by what rules the testing is to be conducted.
i We believe that low-powertesting should be conducted as soon as nossible by Seabrook.
Your propose new r ule is vital to New England's energy sunply problem and should be enacted now.
l Very truly yours Ar,,
Mr. and Mrs. A.P. White i
