SALLY A. MACK, LICSW 111 BEVERLY ROAD BROOKLINE. MASSACHUSETTS O2167 December 12, 1986 Nuclear Regulatory Commission 1717 H Street, N.W.

Washington, D.C. 20515 ATTN: Lando Zech, Chairman '

Dear Mr. Zech:

I am writing to ask that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission carries out a comprehensive, independent investigation into alleged safety violations at the Seabrook nuclear power plant before it considers granting the utility a low-power testing license.

Former employees at the plant have recently come forward and testified to a long list of alarming conditions and procedures at the construction site. These include epidemic levels of drug and alcohol abuse on the job, electrical cables along the inside of containment vessel walls that give off sparks and ignite small fires, a clogged and inadequate fire protection system, improper mixtures used in the containment cement, empty beer cans and bottles dropped into wet containment cement (which may create air pockets),

improper training procedures for various jobs, including delicate welding work, and much more.

By now everyone is aware that' accidents can and will happen at nuclear power plants. At any moment during operation a cooling system, a fire pro-1 tection system, or a containment building could be tested to its limits, and the health and lives of thousands of people would depend on the integrity of the original design and construer.icn of the plant.

Please know that we citizens are aware of the allegations being made by Seabrook construction workers, and that they will not be satisfied with the Commission undertaking anything less than a well-designed, well-monitored, and independent investigation of these claims.

Thank you for giving your attqntion to this matter.

Sincerely, 8701300015 870113 DR ADOCK 0500 3 h ,
