'Re: . Inithe' Matter of.

4 Public' Service Company of.New Hampshire-L(Seabrook Station,' Unit 1)-

Docket No. 50-443 g g _g ( ,

Dear?Mr.:

Fraley:.

-Enclosed'please_-find the comments of the Seacoast Anti-Pollution-League..which are being served upon you by.teh f' r today.

L

.In addition,LI understand from conversations with'ycur office,-it'

'will be: acceptable to provide additional. copies of this material for-service in hand.at:the time'of the ACRS meeting.on' Friday,

September 8, 1989.- 'Since dictating the attached comments, there are'two other' items that I think should be brought-to the

' Subcommittee's' attention. The first concerns the SPDS, wh?ch is mentioned in:the August 17 transcript at page 25. .SAPL has'long been concerned about.'the fact that the Seabrook SPDS is not: fully.

. operational, and compliant with regulatory-requirements. . We would urge;the Committee.to follow up on its questions.regarding~this,

and
particularly should advise the Commission that no full power licens'Lshould e be issued until a fully compliant SPDSk.as required-

'by NUREG-0737,'Supp. 1, is operational. At present, the NRC Staff-has~ agreed that a fully compliant SPDS can be deferred until the firstrrefueling outage.

The-second matter has to'do'with.the reference to the public alert

.and notification system.- At Tr. 94, New Hampshire Yankee's Callendrello advised that one of the special features of the New Hampshire Emergency Plan was the capability of the siren warning system.to oroadcast pre-recorded announcements using its public address ft nction." SAPL believes the Committee should xnow that these> sirens, which are claimed have the capability foi public address ant.ouncements, have ntver been tested in thia mode.
