Dear Secetary of the Commission:

I strongly recommend that the commission adopt its proposed clarification of emergency planning requirements for low power licensing as it relates to offsite emergency sirens not being required for low power testing at nuclear power plants.

The Seabrook Station situation is a perfect example of political manipulation, by certain individuals, for personal gain.

Given this kind of attitude, where lies the true responsibility for the welfare and safety of the public?

Is it in the best interest of the public to deplete New England 's energy resources to a point whe*e serious reper-cussions could occur? Are the politicians concerned about tightening controls for other industries (e.g. users of dangerous chemicals, etc.) where the risk to the public of a serious accident is far greater than at any nuclear power plant in the United States.

Seabrook is safe, ready to operate and is needed for power generation in New England. Any action that can be taken on your part to speed up the licensing process without compromising the health and safety of the public is in the best interests of all concerned.

I believe this rule change is a step in the right direction.

Sincerely, 8807070187 880622 PDR PR SO 53FR16435 PDR b
