uwc 88.m 15 P4 :06 June 6, 1988 Samuel J. Chilk Frid.< h"k.Ning Ny' Secretary of the Commission Att 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.

l l

The proposed rule change would eliminate many existing low power licensing requirements, including offsite emergency response g ns, any public-notification systems (including sirens), and the trafning of offsite emeroency resconse personnel.

As a resident of the Seabrook nuclear plant rea, I vigorous oppose the proposed amendment to existing safety requi The proposed rule has been developed with only the utility's interests in mind.

The NRC is once again moving to place the_

rublic 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 propo -d 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 power operation.

Sincerely, Ak,L Name and Address:

Miss Priscilla Houghton bk3H 03S62 8806270117 880606 PDR PR 50 53FR16435 PDR SS10 L -
