20555 Attention:
Docketing &' Service' Branch Gentlemen:-
I am writing to enthusiastically support the_NRC's recently.
proposed. modification of Regulations which would' resolve the endless postponement of the opening of both the Seabrook and Shoreham Nuclear Power Plants.
As a resident'of the State of-New Hampshire,.I abhor the political activism on i
the part of Governor Dukakis of Massachusetts, who is obviously-using melodramatic protests' purportedly to assure'the safety of the residents in our neighbor State.of Massachusetts, j
but obviously in fact is guilty of a. blatant attempt to gain'
~
recognition as a candidate for.the up-coming Presidential-election.
The Federal Government alone, and the NRC in particular, has the expertise and obligation to protect the public interests in both the start-up and operation of Nuclear Plants.
The decision to order utilities to prepare an evacuation. schedule for a 10 mile radius of Nuclear Power Plants.in 1979 might have appeared necessary at the time of 3 Mile Island.
- However, state cooperation has backfired and evidently given states an opportunity to delay and possibly defeat the eventual opening of Nuclear Power Plants, which conform in every way to regulations imposed by the NRC.
Subversive elements.and left wing radicals have jumped at the' opportunity to join with political activists.with a resultant financial burden and jeopardy to the security of electrical needs of this country.
It's high time for the Nuclear Regulat'ory Commission, which'is the governing body responsible for such-Nuclear Plants, to assert its authority and grant permission for: full-scale operation of such plants provided.they have met all the strict regulations which have been promulgated.
Anti-nuclear obs.tructionism has been tolerated because of a fear of criticism in'the event of an 8710020090 870527 P PDF!

However, there are many Plants both here and abroad which have successfully operated for many years, and there is no reason why with proper supervision and inspection recently j
constructed Plants should not do the same even more efficiently.-
