Dear Mr. and Mrs. Atkinson:

Thank ~you .for.your recent letter concerning the Seabrook Nuclear Station.

Since the Seabrook Station is currently the subject of licensing hearings before the Commission. it is inappropriate for me to comment on the merits of'the issues'. You may be assured, however, that protection of the public .

health and. safety will be the paramount consideration in decisions I may make on the hearing record.

Your letter also expressed concern about the Commission's proposed changes to its emergency planning regulations. The proposed rule (copy enclosed) J has been published for.public comment, and the Commission will decide 1 whether to' adopt the proposed rule after evaluating the public comments we. ,

receive. Should you have more specific comments on the rule, please send them to the address listed in the notice.

I appreciate and welcome your views on the Commission's responsibilities. 3 1

Sincerely,

Dear:

Sir:

We are strongly opposed to your current: proposed rule change that was handed to you'by owners of a certain. power plant, which:wouldLallow public

We a'e' r opposed.to'. limiting state'andilocal' input on.

fsuch a ruling. Tou, as a supposedly--select group of t,

' individuals,sare not sincere in protecting'the public, Onej has to: question if you are' on a secret payroll of certainfutilities1 and owners of-nuclear power. plants!

'Sendrook should-not be licensed'for various reasons:

L It is. constructed on. unsafe' salt marsh.-

h 'Its construction'was faulted by well-documented n- drug and alcohol abuse by construction workers.

Evacuation is impossible'in.that'particular area may there be a one, ten or fifty mile limit.
