As we discussed on the phone, public interpretive facilities and recreational topics are not within the mission or regulatory purview of the NRC. Hopefully, the contact information provided to you by phone and below will be helpful for you.
Please do not hesitate to contact me by phone or email should you have any questions or concerns related to nuclear safety or security at Seabrook Station that I can answer. These issues within the regulatory purview of the NRC and are consistent with the agencys mission. Extensive publicly available information regarding the NRC can be found on our website. If you are looking for information to share with your scout troop, you may want to start with one of the following links:

[External_Sender] Re: Seabrook Station, Unit 1 Docket No. 50-443; meeting 6/7/2017 Hi Mr. Bower--thanks for the info and you're correct. this is a recent change from when 1000-1500 Tuesdays was advertised, but i also called for appointment then, left a message and even (one Tuesday when i was able to stop and found the Nature Center locked tight) walked across the wooden boardwalk to office entrance...and was greeted by a staffer who took my info and request, to no avail.
Naturally, i've been disappointed at the initial limited tour hours, then lack of response to my voicemail, then lack of response to my personal visit. The Center has great info and the nature tour is also good; i'd like to introduce my Scout group to it. Residing nearby, i'd like to showcase the facility but have been stymied at every turn.
Your contact provided a resource to call, which i will. I could seek assistance up the FPL management chain, but hopefully next steps will be successful. I appreciate your taking time to speak with me today and the info you've provided. Hope your meeting Wednesday is productive--
Sincerely--

Mr. Medford, After we spoke, I checked the website for the Seabrook Science and Nature Center: https://www.nexteraenergyresources.com/what/nuclear_seabrook_center.shtml The website states:
The Science & Nature Center and Owascoag Nature Trail are open to the public by appointment only. To request a visit, please call 1-800-338-7482 and leave a detailed message on your visit request, including the date you would like to visit, the name of your group or organization, and a contact name and phone number.

[External_Sender] Seabrook Station, Unit 1 Docket No. 50-443; meeting 6/7/2017 Dear Mr. Bower--thank you for advertising the upcoming meeting regarding Seabrook Station; it was also advertised locally. I reside near the station. The NRC's announcement characterized it a 'safety meeting', but i have some non-safety related questions.
Would Wednesday be a good venue for my attendance and questions, or is another method a better opportunity to have queries addressed by the Station and NRC? My questions fall in the public interpretive facilities & recreation topics.
Thanks for advising; please feel free to contact me by phone if that's easier.
Sincerely, Skip Medford
