FI!.JLS March 12, 2012 17 j.72: 2' Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Chief Rules and Directive Branch Division of Administrative Services Mailstop TWB-05B0 1M Washington, DC 20555-0001

Subject:

Seabrook NH Nuclear Power Plant Despite being subject to earthquake (built on fault line), existing foundation cracks, an inadequate evacuation plan, over storage of spent fuel rods, ocean aquatic problems, and being behind on their Decommissioning Trust Fund payments*, NextEra (owner of Seabrook Nuclear Plant) has the untimely audacity to request having their operating license extended again.

This time to 2050. Ridiculous!

Why is the Nuclear Regulatory Commission even considering their request this far in advance? It does not make sense. A simple refusal to address their request, based on the fact that it is too far in advance, is in order.

You should also advise NextEra to first resolve the known problems at the plant and also to catch up on their decommission payments.

The plant was to be decommissioned in 2020, but somehow got a 10 year operating extension pushing decommissioning off to 2030 which is 18 more years for local skeptics to keep their fingers crossed that there will be no serious problems. To make the 38 more years is more irresponsible.

I write imploring you to deny is late t ~c se extension request!!
