Dear Sirs,

I am writing this letter to state my concern with respect to Emergency Planning Requirements and their affect of the issuance of a low power license for the Seabrook Nucleat Power Plant.

New England needs the power that Seabrook Station is capable of i

generat ng, and Seabrook is ready, willing and waiting to produce thf much needed energy.

Since successful completion of low power testing is required before this plant can be licensed to provide electricity, it is of the utmost importance that a low power license ba issued as expeditiously as possible to avoid any further delays resulting in expenditures of astronomical magnitudes.

Our politically oriented opposition from Massachusettes, namely Governor Michael Dukakis, has had a significant impact on Seabrook's ability to develop and employ an emergency plan in a timely manner.

However, despite this opposition and lack of coorporation, Seabrook has managed to successfully establish a plan which includes utiliza-tion of the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) to provide information to both Massachuser:

,d New Hampshire communities providing 24-hour-a-day ec

. backed by emergency power.

In closing, I woula Like to express that Seabrook Station has gone the extra mile to build the safest nuclear power plant ever constructed.

Our existing emergency plans are more than adequate to support the issuance ot a low power license that is so essential to fulfill the energy needs of New England.

Sincerely, l
