C-10 hosted a public forum
"What Happened At Fukushima - Why It Can Happen Here" on June 16, 2011
at the Boston Public Library. In the following video,
nuclear engineers Dave Lochbaum and Arnie Gunderson walk through
step-by-step the events of the Fukushima meltdown to illustrate the
"points of vulnerability" in US plants. According to the experts,
many of these vulnerabilities have not been adequately addressed by the
NRC to date.

NextEra, owners of the Seabrook
nuclear power plant in New Hampshire, have announced plans to request an
operating license renewal 20 years before the expiration of the current
license. At a
press
conference on August 18, 2010, C-10 Foundation announced the
formation of a coalition of local, regional, and national groups who
filed a
Petition for Rulemaking to the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission. The Petition requests the NRC to change its rule to
require the license extension process begin no more than 10 years before
the expiration date.
C-10 Foundation has not found
evidence that NextEra has provided in their application proof that the
reactor can be safely operated or managed to assure public safety until
2050.
C-10's
Statement on Submerged Cables at Seabrook provides an
example of our opposition and has called upon the NRC to suspend its
current review.
