x .t iting to respond to your proposal to allow 5% power testing at Seabrook without off site emergency sirens.

Seabrook Station has a fully operational siren notification system in place in New Hampshire. The Emergency Broadcast System (EBS), used to provide information to both New Hampshire and Massachusetts communities, in in place and provides 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> a day coverage, backed by emergency power.

Nuclear Power has been proved to be the cleanest and safest form of electricity. As you well know, the Governor of Massachusetts has used the Seabrook issue clearly to esteblish himself in the politicalarena. The Seabrook Station plant is without doubt, the safest plant yet constructed.

I strongly urge the Commission to proceed to adopt its proposed clarification of etuergency planning requirements for low-power testing a.' the granting of an appropriate license and further to make clear that off site emergency sirens are not required during low power tests.

Sincerely yours, William E. McNamara 10 Marilyn Avenue Exeter, N.". 03833 i
