PuMc Sm*e of New HampW*e January 6, 1987 New Hampshire Yankee Division NHY #870008 Rev. John E. Deegan, O.S. A.

President Merrimack College North Andover, Massachusetts 01845

Dear Rev. Deegan:

I recently received your letter of December 16, 1986 to Mr. Robert J.

Harrison of Public Service Company of New Hampshire (PSNH).

I will address the concerns raised in your letter.

First, let me assure you that PSNH is not responsible for preparing and has not prepared any emergency plans that indicate that Merrimack College is to serve as a reception center for students and other citizens.

To the best of my knowledge, the only document that refers to Merrimack College is a draf t telephone book advertise-

]ent included in the June 1986 State of New Hampshire Civil Defense Agency submittal sf its plans. That advertisement was prepared based on the then current State of Massachusetts Civil Defense plans.

I know of no other State of New Hampshire docu-ments that have either been prepared or transmitted that refer to Merrimack College.

I have referred your letter to Mr. Richard Strome, Director of the New Hampshire Civil Defense Agency along with a request that he address your concerns.

Your letter refers to a lack of input by Merrimack College into the development of emergency plans.

I have been told that the State of Massachusetts Civil Defense Agency (MCDA) plans for a response to a Seabrook Station emergency have included Merrimack College as a reception center since May 1984. Later plans prepared by MCDA also included Merrimack College.

I understand that meetings were held during January and February of 1986 between MCDA planners and Merrimack College officials to develop and review the College's role in the Andover host plan.

I would suggest that, if you have any questions or concerns regarding the State of Massachusetts plans, you write to Mr. Robert Boulay, Director of Massachusetts Civil Defense Agency.

Very truly yours, Edward A. Brown President e
