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.

The proposed rule change would eliminate many existing low power L licensing requirements, including offsite emergency response i plans, any public-notification systems (including sirens), and l the training of offsite emergency response personnel.

j As a resident of the Seabrook nuclear plant area, I vigorously 1 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 I 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.

~

In the interest on 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 k i of risk _to the public, including risks from low power operation.

Sincerely, .
