Nuclear Regulatory Commission March 21,2012 Chief Rules and Directive Branch Division of Administrative Services Mailstop TWB-05-B01M/ /

Washington, DC 20555-0001 R - 7 IIJ Members of the Commission; I write to you asking for your denial of the request of NextEra Energy Resources LLC for licensing from 2030-2050 of the Seabrook Power Plant in Seabrook, NH.

I have lived most of my life on this coast of New Hampshire. The short 18 mile coast is a treasure that has been marred by the presence of the Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant. Since it is already here, we have to put up with it. However to extend its permit even longer is unacceptable!

There is NO way that the thousands of tourists a day during June-September could be evacuated from nearby Hampton Beach in a safe way should there be a problem at the plant. I have been at the beach on a typical beach day, streets clogged with cars and people, "no vacancy" signs at all the over night accommodations, a narrow bridge to the South, and no access to public transportation from any direction; a disaster waiting to happen!!

All this is bad enough, now NextEra is asking to extend the license of an "older" structure with older technology. Yes, I am sure that there has been "new" technology in the.Nuclear Energy field; will you MAKE NextEra spend the $$$$ to put that in place

'"if' they are granted an extension?

With all the new solar and wind energy advancements, which are much safer to operate, why continue to permit that which has safety hazards, and no safe plan for the disposal of nuclear waste??

While I don't expect a tsunami or earthquake, there are fault lines nearby. The population of this area has grown since the plant opened, more people to evacuate, no new roads to carry them. Why take chances for a longer period of time?

Again, I respectfully, adamantly, oppose the extending of the license of the Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant to anyone! Just because you CAN extend, does not mean that you MUST. The people of this region deserve unbiased regulation, in their best interests, not the Nuclear Industry's!

Please deny the extension of the license of the Seabrook Nuclear Plant.
