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.

i I The proposed rule change would eliminate many existing low power

licensing requirements, including offsite emergency response j'

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 propossd 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.

i 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 power operation.

Sincerely,

{
