About Seabrook Nuclear Power Station:
Seabrook Station is a 1,220 megawatt nuclear fueled electric generating plant located in Seabrook, New Hampshire. In 1972 the Public Service Company of New Hampshire filed an application with the New Hampshire Site Evaluation Committee and the Public Utilities Commission to build twin nuclear reactors at Seabrook, New Hampshire. It was originally projected that the plant would reach completion in 1979, but a long licensing process (up to 50 licenses and permits were needed to gain approval) and environmental opposition delayed service until August of 1990. Plans to build the second reactor were later abandoned. Today Florida Power and Light owns over 80% of Seabrook Station’s shares.
About the Seabrook Station publications collection:
The collection contains forty-three publications related to the licensing of the Seabrook Station nuclear power plant, dating from 1970 to 1979. The materials have been organized into two series: Public Service Company of New Hampshire Binder Reports and Supplemental Material. The second series is divided further into 3 sub-series: Electricity and Community Plans; Environmental and Educational Reports, and Legal Documents: Licensing.
The first series contains eleven binder reports prepared by the Public Service Company of New Hampshire outlining its plans for the Seabrook Station Nuclear energy plant. The majority of the collection deals with the early effort to gain a construction permit. The materials come from a range of sources, including the New Hampshire Public Service Company, independent science firms, regional planning commissions, the government of New Hampshire and the federal government.
The majority of the materials pertain to the Joint Hearing held in New Hampshire and Washington, D.C. regarding the licensing of the nuclear plant. These include eight hearing transcripts and six supplemental documents, including a trial brief, the Commission report, an exhibit book and two responses to interrogatories. Materials published by the Public Service Company of New Hampshire include the Preliminary Safety Analysis Report vols I, III-VII, Analysis Amendment 6, Environmental Report vols I-III, and a License Application vols I-II. There are twelve research papers exploring the effects a Nuclear Electrical Plant will have on the surrounding area, both civically and environmentally.
