Dear Chairman Jaczko:

The Board of Selectmen has recently become aware of what we feel are serious issues regarding the concrete degradation of tunnels at the Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant. We have reviewed a copy of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) report dated May 23, 2011 addressing these issues. This is of great concern to us and our community as we are within the danger zone from any possible release of radioactivity. Although we appreciate the efforts of the inspectors who discovered the problem, we ask that the NRC report details of the areas of concern are addressed publicly in an open and transparent manner to speak to and alleviate public concerns.

We have learned that Seabrook has applied to the NRC for a twenty year extension of its operating license although 18 years remain on the term of the current license. We urge the NRC to use this time to thoroughly evaluate the issues at Seabrook Station so that you can work to find an effective solution to ensure safety now and in the future.

Sincerely, Merrimac Board of Selectmen W. Earl Baumgardner Ricky . o La ra D. Mailman
