t " d., I BRAhUN Samuel J.-Chilk Secretary of the Cotamission Attention: Docketing.

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and Service Branch 1717 H Street, N.W.

Washington, D.C.

20555 DGar 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 licensing requirements, including offsite emergency response plans, any public-notification systems (including sirens),.and the training of offsite emergency response personnel.

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

oppose the proposed amenc' ment to existing safety requirements.

The proposed rule has been developed with only the utility's intereste in mind.

The NRC is once again moving to place the public at risk for the sole purpcse of allowing Seabrook Station

)

to obtain a low-power license, even thcugh 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.

I

' Sincerely, d M7 ',J mb f-Ncme and Address:
