Energy Net on 21 Jun 10"The Nuclear Regulatory Commission announced today that an application for a 20-year renewal of the operating license for Seabrook Station is available for public review. Seabrook Station is a pressurized-water nuclear reactor, located 13 miles south of Portsmouth, N.H., and the plant's current operating license expires on March 15, 2030. The licensee, NextEra Energy Seabrook, submitted the renewal application June 1. The application is available on the NRC Web site at this address: http://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/licensing/renewal/applications/Seabrook.html. The NRC staff is currently conducting an initial review of the application to determine whether it contains enough information for the required formal review. If the application has sufficient information, the NRC will formally "docket," or file, the application and will announce an opportunity to request a public hearing.
