Docketing and Service Branch 0F5 h.
t U.
S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 00CKsigtg'f-W1 Washington, DC 20555 4
June 22, 1988 Secretary:
I would like to express my support of the purposed rule change 9
that will clarify public notification requirements prior to 5%
testing.
Public notification should not be tied to granting of a J
low power test license.
This would not be an issue if the Commonwealth of Massachusetts had not deliberately removed a 1
system that was installed to assure public-safety.
In my
- opinion, Public notification for low power testing is a bogus i
issue that is being used as a self serving political issue.
The risks of an emergency at an operational nuclear power plant j
are minimal.
Any risk of an emergency at low power testing are to minuscule to be of concern.
Containment and the other redundant safety systems are designed to handle 100% power emergencies and are more than adequate to cope with any situation that could arise during the short duration of low power testing.
Being a resident of North Hampton which is within the 10 mile EPZ and the father of two I am interested in the safety of Seabrook.
To the best of
,nderstanding, Nuclear power provides the best available optic my energy requirements.
When a nuclear plant is opers prudently it is a clean, safe power source that does not cau.u the economic drain of imported fuel or power nor the pollution of a fossil plant.
I support your efforts to clarify this issue.
It is my desire to see Seabrook licensed as soon as possible and New England energy self-reliant.
Sincerely, gf s
