[External_Sender] Seabrook nuclear power plant Date: Monday, February 25, 2019 9:30:44 PM

Dear Chairman Svinicki and NRC Commissioners:

As a neighbor to Seabrook Station nuclear power plant, I am writing to urge you to seriously consider the Emergency Petition filed by C-10 on February 13, and to take no further action on the requested license amendment or extension until the full resolution of the contentions brought by C-10 relative to the plants degraded concrete.

C-10 has raised serious concerns about the ability of Seabrook's concrete to continue protecting the public, and the inadequacy of the testing and analysis that underpin Seabrook's concrete aging management plans. C-10 is preparing for a hearing granted by NRCs Atomic Safety and Licensing Board, where they will provide the only independent peer review of the concrete testing methodology behind the plants license amendment request, which is based on a completely unprecedented approach to monitoring and managing alkali-silica reaction at a nuclear reactor.

The seriousness of this matter demands more caution, independent review and transparency than it has received.

With 11 more years on Seabrooks current operating license, there is time for the NRC to do it right. Please permit the democratic process to proceed. While NRC representatives have stated that C-10 will get their hearing later this year, we urge you to wait on any rulings relative to the plant's license amendment request, or license extension, until C-10's contentions are heard and evaluated by the ASLB. On behalf of my family, thank you.

Sincerely, Nicole Schildcrout-Lloyd Amesbury, MA Sent from my iPhone
