-/ July 31, 1 Lando Zech, Chairman U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Ob Washington, D.C. 20555 SERVED AUGS 1986

Dear Mr. Zech,

As'a candidate for congress, as a citizen' of New 11ampshire living one town beyond the Seabrook Radiological Emergency Planning Zone, I hereby request that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission change the current ruling, and expand the Emergency Planning Zone from the current 10 mile radius to a 40 mile emergency planning zone.

I strongly urge you and the. commissioners. to resist the pressure of the nuclear industry to reduce'the zone to just two or three miles. Public safety must be increased, not decreased. As demonstrated at the.. nuclear ~ accident at Chernobyl,- radiation' travels .f

?with the wind,.. unpredictably,Jand can certainly. affect peoplo~and 'J property well beyond the current 10 mile evacuation planning zone.

Be assured that, in Congress, I will work for legislation

+ requiring that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission expand emergency planning zones, and that;the primary. goal of licensing proceedings

be protecting-the health'and. safety..ofcthe citizens. c' i

Thank you for your attention to this matter of vital concern to the citizens of New ilampshire's first congressional district. -

Sincerely, ,

W '

Burton J. ,ohen .
