Dear Sirs:

This letter is in reference to your review of current evacuation plans for residents within a ten-mile radius of nuclear power plants. We live within a ten-mile radius of Pilgrim I (1/2 mile, to be exact), and I would like to point out the fact that the evacuation plans for the town of Plymouth are by no means complete. If there were to be an accident today, unfortunately, you

would bear witness to mass confusion and death, as the current plan would take a minimtm of three to four hours to enforce. As it stands, an administrator with Boston Public Health would have to make the trip to Plymouth by car to verify an accident---a mini =n= of forty-five minutes at best. What if it happens to be rush hour, or during a severt- storm? Then, he might not make it at all!

Consider that he might make the trip in record time, he would still need time

to inspect the accident and render his opinion of procedures to be followed by civil defense <. If, in any case, his decision might be to evacuate, as it now i stands this would be done by police bull horns, etc. Consider the massive size of Plymouth ned the abundance of small dirt roads in out-ofLthe- way places, and you are,f coling yourself if you sincerely believe it could be done in less than two or t hree houral The only way it could ever be done quickly would be by an extensi ve alarm system attached to the plant, which would sound through-out the wholei area even during a severe stom, Under the current plan, it would also be virtu ally impossible for families to be united if there were an emergency during the da.y. Everyone would be going off in opposite directions to different evacuation shselters.

Also, in i line with civil defense concerns, please initiate something in your plans te i cover aircraft flying directly over Pilgrim I. Currently, if you check wit .h the Plymouth Airport and Bedford Aviation, &nyone can fly over Pilgrim I at any time. I pointed this out in my letter to you two years ago, and still not .hing has been done about it. Several weeks ago, in the wee hours of the mornin ;g, a jet flew over our houses so low that the houses shock, everyone was awakened, and my daughter could actually see the plane right en r us. I repeat, l we are 1/2 mi .le from Pilgrh I. (This jet supposedly was from Otis AFB.)

I shall anxiously be awaiting your reply. I would certainly hope that you will not appr ove of this current plan until these very important items P worked out. Ey the way, what happens in the event that there is a plant emergency in January, i, rhile they are refueling? This evacuation plan is not scheduled to be valid unti .1 spring of 19807 Dare we be so arrogant as to assume that there will be no ac seident until the plans are complete? I, for one, plan to take my children and get out of here during the refueling process! (So are other neighbors.)

As a matter c s';f fact, there are at least six honnes. for sale in this immediate area-l that's how mt 14 h blind faith some of us have in the nuclear power industry! -
