Thank you for inviting me: to participate in today's two public meetings concerning the relicensing of the-Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant. I plan to attend the evening meeting, but am unable to be present for the one this: afternoon. *Hence this letter.

Many of my 'constituents oppose the use of nuclear,.power for any reason, some are :concerned tha t if it is used we need to resolve issues surro,unding the disposal of the waste it produCeS,: Still othe(ýrs support it enthusiastically as a source of clean, reasonably priced energyý.I

'have tried to0 briag all of these perspectives. to, Nexttra Energy Is (the power plantS owner) attention, asking questions at various times about' possible environmental and health hazards., security concerns, safety, and cost. I have beenimpressed by, and appreciative of, the company'ls open and c'ordial responaei:tothese inquiries, which have included an extensive. tour of the facility and multiple meetings and exchanges of information, My constituent's' hive different opinions as to whether: the NRC should renew the plant'selicense. I hope and expect that Seabrook Power Plant wiIl demonstrate the same, open and responsive attitude during, this process that, they have exhibited in their dealings with other elected:

officials and with me. It's thc best way to ensure that all voices on this, issue are heard. --

With every good wish,
