NRC-2010-0206-DRAFT-0020 Comment on FR Doc # 2011-19875

[7 7-Submitter Information Name: Randall Kezar ----..--" Address: 134 Main St. I- m'D Kingston, NH, 03848 General Comment With respect to the degrading condition of Seabrook during the next four decades: 1. What *additional*

safety procedures, management procedures, and monitoring equipment will be required of the Seabrook station?2. What are the estimates by the NRC of the increased accidental risks for an aging reactor such as Seabrook for the next four decades. How are they calculated?

Since there is little to no experience with reactors running so far beyond their design lifetime, what is the assurance that these calculations are realistic?

3. What are the estimates for the greater future operating costs of the aging station. If the station is estimated not to be economical will the license renewal be denied?4. Given the increased risks of running Seabrook beyond it's lifetime design date, shouldn't the NRC have a representative with full ownership privileges at all levels of Seabrook management?

In particular, shouldn't the NRC monitor and require more than adequate finances for maintenance and safety procedures?

10/24/2011 Page 2 of 2 Can the NRC require such expenses, even in the case of reduced profitability or financial loss?5. Should not the NRC require the Seabrook management to be of the very highest level. How should the NRC monitor and evaluate proactively the quality of the Seabrook management?

What would be the penalties for inadequate or incompetent management?
