R.F.D. s1 Mountain Pi&d ELi Raymond, NH 03077 June 22,1968 Sewetary d the Commission Attn: Docketing and Service Branch U.S. Nudeer Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555 Gentlemen:

I am wnting to you to voice my support for the danfication of Emergency Planning requirement for commerdal nudear plants seeking a low power testmg bconse and authorization.

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the State d New York have opted to use polhical preestre backed by little technical informatior, to block the operatie of nudeer plants in New England in the case of Shcreham and Seabrook nuchar power plants, rretonal anti-nudear activists aided by oppcrtunistic poirbdans have managed to thwart utilities which have acted in good faith to build and operate generating stations to meet the citical need for electicity in New Enpand. In each case, the utilities involved have met or exceeded every regulation that the federal and local governments have legislated. In the case of Shoreham, it is particularfy Roome that the federal tax payer will likely be asked to pay for that state's poirbcal follies.

I support any rulemaking which further danfies the reqtiements for nudear plant constucbon, licensing and operation. Specifically, I feel that the technical basis for a reduced public notification system during low power testog is sound and that such a rule should be adopted posthaste, in doeing. I Npe that the Commission wil continue to carry out its administration and regulation of the nudear industy in a professional manner, baang your decimons on

sound technical information and not on illodcal and biased political pressure.

f Sincerely, kidk.h$%  :

R. Tilton. *-
