Living Near Seabrook Station

We live here, too.  

Seabrook Station has been generating nuclear power to help meet the region's electricity demands since it went online in 1990. 

While the plant is a major contributor to the region's economy, employing ~500 staff and paying millions in annual property taxes, it's important to understand that the risk of an accident, however small, is real. 

An accident at Seabrook Station would result in massive economic losses, including the destruction of property and businesses and the displacement of families. If the area around the plant had to be permanently evacuated, the impact would be immeasurable. 

Unfortunately, there's no insurance available for nuclear accidents, and the Price-Anderson Act, the federal fund meant to help those affected, is considered underfunded at $12 billion. To give you an idea of the scale, the long-term costs for clean-up and compensation for the victims of the Fukushima disaster in 2011 amount to a staggering $750 billion. 

C-10 has been monitoring, educating and speaking out about safety and security at the Seabrook Station nuclear power plant since our incorporation in 1991. We continue to research and write about the health and economic impact that an accident at Seabrook would have on our region.
