Washington, D.C.

20555 Daar 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 nucleer power plants.

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

,As a resident cf the Seabrook nuclear plant area, I vigorously oppose the proposed amendment to existing safety requirements.

'The proposed rule has been developed with only the utility's I

interests in mind.

The NRC is once again moving to place the public at risk for the sole purpose of allowing Seabrook Station to octain 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 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, i

Name and Address:
