Dear Sirs,
000KD Mi). si Wifi BR.%C H As a long-time resident and concerned citizen of New Hampshire as well as, perchance, a frcquent visitor to Seabrook Station, it has become increasingly appar ent to ne that a lot of confusion and misunderstanding exists in the public's perception of what is required for 5% ' low power' testing.vs.
100%
"full power" operation.
Because of this I
fully support the proposed "Interpretive Rule' to clarif y your intent on the requirements f or testing vs.
operation.
And to this eno I encourage you, with regards to the proposed
" I r.t e r p r e t i v e Rule,' to include reans whereby the public along with local and state government officials in N.H.
and Mass, will be far better informed about such things asi in-place safety systems being designed to handle 100% full power cperation emergencies, available time for emergency action at 5% low power testing being much longer, 5% low power being for the purpose of testing, and the risk factors at low power testing being significantly lower than at 100%
full pcwer operation.
These facts along with Seabrook Station's double-willed containment, a fully operational N.H.
siren notification system, and the Emergency Broadcast Syster.
should clearly indicate that emergency preparedness requirements for' low power testing vs. full power operation will r.ot in any way decrease public safety.
Sincerely yours,
%Ac.&;t 8807010177 600622 53 16435 N
