	     One of the submissions to this net asked for commentary and
	opinion on "The Fire Unleashed," the alleged documentary about
	nuclear power.

	     In my position as an operations officer for the Emergency
	Management Agency (formerly called Civil Defense) of a city near
	Seabrook, NH, I have had to spend many hours recently in courses
	and seminars for training.  These were given by the NRC, EPA, FEMA,
	etc.  Most recently, I attended a 40-hour course on nuclear power plant
	accident damage assessment at the FEMA National Emergency Training 
	Center in Emmitsburg, Maryland.	     

	     It is my informed opinion that the program "The Fire Unleashed"
	is pure unadulterated bologna.  If the media cannot produce a better
	program about nuclear power, then maybe they should stick to soap 
	operas.

	     Personally, given the opportunity, I would have no fears about
	living right next to Seabrook Station, even when it's running at
	full power.  Remember, nukes do it all night long.
