'88 JN 4 P5 :42 June 6, 1988 OCK lith; N M Samuel J. Chilk Secretary of the Commission MtWtioni Docket ing U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and Service Branch 1717 H Street, N.W.

Dear Sir:

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.

4 :' )?

The proposed rule change would eliminate many existing low power licensing requirements, including offsite emergency response plans, any public-notification systems (including sirens), and the training of offsite 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 ellowing 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 safety, I urge the Commission to reject the proposed rule change.

All offsite emergency response f'

planning requirements must be in place before allowing any degree I

of risk to the public, including risks from low power operation.

Sincerely,

. s.
