Dear Senator Shaheen:

On behalf of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), I am responding to your December 5, 2023, letter requesting information about the license amendment request for the proposed NextEra Common Emergency Plan for Seabrook Station and other nuclear power plants.

As described in the enclosure to this letter, the NRC staff is currently reviewing the license amendment request and will determine whether it complies with the applicable regulatory requirements, including maintaining reasonable assurance that adequate protective measures can and will be taken in the event of a radiological emergency. The NRC staff will continue to keep the public informed as it proceeds through its review, consistent with the NRC's Principles of Good Regulation, including openness and clarity.

I appreciate your letter and the interest in the safety and staffing of Seabrook. If you have any questions on the enclosed response, or need additional information, please contact me, or have your staff contact Eugene Dacus, Director of the Office of Congressional Affairs, at (301) 415-1776.

Sincerely,
