QJ Richard H. Burton 13 Mohegan Trail Natick, Massachusetts 01760 June 5, 1988 Secretary of the Commission At tn:
Docketing and Service Branch U.S.1;uclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C.
20555 Jear Sirs:
I would like to voice my approval of a testing for a short time of the !;ew England Seabrook Station by operating at less than 5 percent of capacity.
I believe the six Massachusetts Communities that recently cut down the utility poles en which were mounted the sirens for emergency warning system acted in haste and made an unwise decision. This has forced Seabrook's owners to draw up plans for a fleet of bullhorn-equipped trucks and a helicopter.
Since the NRC proposed new rule would make it clear that off-site emergency sirens need not te in place when the nuclear plant tests takes place and lcw-power testing poses no threat to the public I can not see any logica reason for delaying the approval for the Seabrook Station to begin operating for a test at less than 5 percent of capacity.
Secause of a tremendous need for increase of electricity in the near future and into the rest of this century I think it would be foolish, shortsighted and unwise to deny operation of a completed five billion dollar plant that has made ever effort to safely start operating.
V ery truly yours, C : u wE," *, 6.U 5)b,v
