Brian Campbell urge's the support of the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel (AS&LBP), for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, approved, Seabrook Station license to 2050, Renewal.

The process of concrete degradation caused by alkali-silica reaction, or ASR, a chemical process that causes small cracks in concrete has been fully reviewed and an acceptable inspection program has been put in place to assure nuclear safety.

Assessments by Seabrook Station engineers and nuclear experts, independent reviews by some of the most accomplished structural engineering experts in the world, the International Atomic Agency and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), all have concluded that Seabrook Station is operating safely.

Academic, scientifically verifiable studies have established that ASR is an identified, manageable condition common in critical infrastructure like bridges, runways and dams the same infrastructure that is currently in service across the country. Most bridges in Massachusetts and New Hampshire not only have ASR, they are built with nowhere near the robustness and reinforcement nuclear power plant structures feature. Several of the countrys most experienced structural engineering experts including MPR

Associates, SG&H, and the University of Texas have studied and validated Seabrook Stations strategy to manage ASR. The NRC has validated this approach, noting, The actions [Seabrook Station] has taken regarding the concrete issue ASR have been comprehensive and reasonable and all of the commitments made regarding ASR have been completed.
