Dear Chairman Zech:

g Please convey to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission the

'c :

consensus of the Plymouth Board of Selectmen which, simply i!

stated, recommends that the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station

~' ~ t located in our community not be allowed to restart until the i

Radiological Emergency Response Plan of this town is in an t

effective form.

Our present RERP is 4-ted May 1985 and is i

under intense revision.

It is inadeg. ate as to response time, evacuation procedures, and reception centers.

i

..i L

The recent PEMA report to the NRC documents the

f. :.

Inadequacies of the commonwealth of Massachusetts' RERP.

The C.

Board of Selectmen recognizes the same flaws in the operative F

plans of this community.

'Y.J The public safety would be at risk if the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station is permitted to open without a valid radiological emergency plan in place.

We remind the NRC that this community of over 40,000 citizens is entirely within the ten mile emergency planning zone and that our geographic location and our few and over-burdened evacuation routes pose serious problems in any emergency plan, whether for natural or radiological disaster.

The issue has been we.1 studied and doctimented by the Nuclear Matter Advisory Committee of this town as well as by our Civil Defense Director.
