Dear Sic:

On May 9, 1988, the Nucis.tr Regulator" Commission (NRC) published a proposed change to its emergency planning requirerents for fuel loading and low-power operation of nuclear power plants.

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 allowing 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 planning requirements must be in place before allowing any degree

(

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