PROPOSED RULE E' b O cowpmp(65FR(G4'35)

(> 3 June 4, 1988 Samuel J. Chilk OC Secretary of the Commission Attebtion: Docketing U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and Service Branch 1717 H Street, N.W.

Washington, D.C.

Dear Sir:

t 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.

l The proposed rule change would eliminate many existing low power licensing requirements, including offsite emergency response l

plans, any public-notification systems (including sirens), and l

the training of offsite emergency response personnel.

i l

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 l

interests in mind.

The NRC is once again moving to place the l

public at risk for the sole purpose of allowing Seabrook Station l

to obtain a low-power license, even though the question of I

whether it will ever be granted a full-power license is seriously l

in doubt.

In the interest of public safety, I urge the Commission to reject j

j the proposed rule change.

A1) offsite emergency response planning requirement s must be in place before allowing any degree of risk.to the public, including risks from low power operation.

Sincerely, ma I
