Dear Secretary:
knowing that in fairness to all, you are asking for public imput and coment on the recent proposal of the new rule change to clarify the require-mer't that new nuclear power plants nust meet before low-powered testirs 15 cer-ducted, I an taking this opportunity to express my own sentimentr., or. this ver) izportant cutject.
First eff, I want to conplirent you on the segment of the new rule that eff-nite crorganey sirens naed not be in place when icw-power testinc takec IAc%
Thic it both sensible and vital. iiicht here in ny home area of Hanpton, N. E.,
recided fcr twenty-cne yearc, we have seen the classic pcli tic-w r.o r+
nave ally -otivated ploy by which sone connunitias, principally those in borderire Kassachusetts, hava had off-site energency sirens removed to further their caus to, by every means possible, hamper the Seabrook Plar.t.
These off-:!te properly installed in full and detailed conpliance with esercency tirent were the prevailing rules and regulations and in good faith. In addition, we have also sean the sinister involverent cf criminal vandalict in the night time in which poles on which sirens were counted were sawed down and toppled. Thest g.
arn carttinly net the act: cf reasonable people, utvieucly, I an not a part of the loud, strident, highly orchestrate '
and r*e.-inQ w(11 f'ranced cpperiticn to the Seabrock Flant in pr.rticuhr and nuclear power anywhere in general. Oddly enough, this overwhelring type of opposition is considerably lessened in relation to the two establiched nec-lear power generating plante that have operated in this sare F.assachusetts nu.ber of yearr. Navertheless, this opposition has used every de-for cuite a vise, interpretation, raneuver and ploy to delay, delay, delay and delay, ac inifinitan, c.nd thcreby ceprive thic rapidly growing area of the country t".c power that it needt new an 1 which will be absolutely vital to its future.
Also, I an in nc way connected with the participants and principals of the Seabrook Plant as a stockholder, employee or advisor. I am a retired Textile Procecsing Engineer, Designer and P.anager. I have participated in evcry phase of this activity including being the General P.anager of three large plant:.
and the designing of textile processing plants and processing aachinery here in the United States and in several foreign countries.
Please persist in the advance of this vitally needed rule change and dc not ba swayed by the clanor of unfounded negative clains by the aforementicned pelitically ranipuhted c;porition to everything that nicht be beneficial te Seabrook in particlar and nuclear power in general.
