20555 Dear Sirs On May 9, 1988, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) published i

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 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 j

in doubt.

I In the interest of public safety, I urge the Commission to reject the proposed rule change.

All offsite emergency respcnse j

planning requirements must be in place before allowing any degree l

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