Washington, D.C. 20555 Dear Sirs On May 9, 1988, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) published a proposed change to its emergency planning requirements for fuel loading and low power operation of nuclear power plants. The proposed rule change would eliminate many existing low power licensing requirementJ, including the followings offsite emergency response plans, any public notification systems (including sirens), and the training of of f site emergency response personnel. As a resident of the Seabrook nuclear plant area, I vigorously oppose the proposed amendment to existing safety requirements. The proposed rule has been developed with only the utility's 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 its ability to be granted a full power license is seriously in doubt. In the interest of public safety, 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.. l- . . . . Sincerely, f
