I am opposed to extending the license for Seabrook for 20 more years, especially since there are 20 years still remaining on the current license and many questions remain unaddressed. In particular: •This process highly premature, given no one can reasonably predict what condition plant infrastructure will be in 20-40 years in advance, let alone future energy policy planning. •Ongoing problems like emergency generator malfunctions and potential future ones like inaccessible submerged electrical cables need to be addressed before re-licensing the plant. •Neighboring residents should not be exposed to another 20 years or routine radioactive emissions, let alone the risk of catastrophic accident, when cheaper, safer and sustainable power sources will likely be available (and necessary!) in coming decades. •We should not be committing to generate another 20 years of high-level radioactive waste, when there is NO viable plan for long-term storage of existing wastes, and the plant's waste dump (as well as the reactor!) is dangerously close to a increasingly rising sea level and violent storm potential. I believe that over the3 next 20 years, we will have other more sustainable and safer alternatives available to us for energy. These must be considered. The current plant must face deteriorating structures with plans to test and replace WHETHER THE LICENSE IS EXTENDED OR NOT! Please do not extend the license now, and continue to ensure that the owners take responsibility for addressubg the above concerns. Thank you Joyce Kemp
