U.S. Nucleer Regulatorg Commission IUeshington D.C. 20555 l 6entleman:

I strongly urge the Commission to proceed to adopt its proposed clarification of emergency planning requirements for low power licenses to make clear that off site emergency sirens are not required during low power tests.

As a resident of Hampton, which is within the ten mile radius of the Seabrook facility, and a supporter of nuclear power as an alternate energy source, I am concerned with the current political climate which makes the nuclear option untenable. There eHists a definite need to permit the Seabrook Station to proceed to demonstrate its ability tu be added to the power supply of this area, where it is urgently needed.

As a licensed professional engineer with a masters degree in chemical engineering i do not take lightig the concerns of the parlous anti-nuclear groups. I also em concerned with the future of our country due to the lack of a coherent energy and environmental poHey at the national level which is enforcable at the local level. A balance has to be reached to obtain the maHimum bonifit at e ininimum risk from our energy opticns. I feel that the nuclear option does and will continue to meet this balance. I hope that the commission will continue to pursue its sound administration in the light of its national responsibility and adopt this proposed clarification.

Sincerely, ALd$1' f
