Beyond Nuclear challenges NRC over Seabrook license renewal

Paul Gunter of Beyond Nuclear made his case today in front of a three-judge panel from the Nuclear Regulatory Commision in Portsmouth, NH against the relicensing of the Seabrook nuclear plant. Seabrook's owners, NextEra, are applying for a license renewal 20 years before the current license expires. Beyond Nuclear made the case that NextEra failed to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act by ignoring the potential of offshore wind to render continued operation of Seabrook obsolete. Gunter stated: "What they are relying upon, even at this date, for their current proceedings is already dated, and the data they provided already reflects an inaccuracy."
