NextEra Seabrook Nuclear Plant The Only U.S. Nuclear Facility Known to be Suffering from Concrete Cancer
Because You Live Here, Too.
"I spent a lot of years trying not to think about Seabrook. But once I learned about C-10 and the important work
they are doing for public safety, I decided to get involved. I’m proud to be a monthly sustainer."
-Elizabeth Rankin, Newburport resident, mother, and former C-10 Board member
The C-10 Research and Education Foundation
works to protect public health and the environment surrounding the Seabrook Station nuclear power plant in coastal New Hampshire.
C-10 has over twenty six years of radiological monitoring data and technical knowledge of plant safety and security issues. We are an informational resource for the public, local governments and the community.
Currently, we're in a high-stakes fight to ensure that serious concrete problems at Seabrook are properly understood and monitored before any changes are made to the plant's operating license.
We need your support to help fund our research and legal work! Join us today and take a stand for the safety at Seabrook Station and for the health of the people surrounding it.

The NRC inspects Seabrook's failing concrete
Seabrook Suffers From "Concrete Cancer"
Donate Now
The concrete in key structures at Seabrook are experiencing Alkali-Silica Reaction, or “ASR,” a progressive and irreversible form of degradation.
Seabrook is the first plant in the nation known to have ASR, and has been under enhanced oversight since the problem was first discovered in 2009.
The failing concrete at Seabrook Station, which the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission believes impacts all key structures at the plant, is what protects the public from deadly radiation in the core reactor and the 600 tons of high-level nuclear waste stored onsite.
With your help, we can continue our fight for tougher oversight of Seabrook's failing concrete.
Together, We Can Make an Impact
Seabrook’s failing concrete is the most serious issue that has faced its owners—and our reactor community— just as they are trying to extend their license to 2050. We are grateful to all who have stepped up to support our work on behalf of public safety. -Chris Nord, former C-10 board member and resident of Newbury, Mass.
In 2016, Seabrook owner NextEra Energy submitted a license amendment request relative to the ability of the plant’s concrete to continue performing as designed. In October 2017, the C-10 Research & Education Foundation was granted legal standing in a case being considered by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
In 2019, C-10 fought to ensure that the extent and progression of this concrete degradation was investigated and forced the NRC to amend Seabrook's 20-year license extension. C-10 won critical stricter guidelines such as the requirement to install extensometer devices, and an update to the schedule for measuring the progression of the concrete damage from checking in on it every 10 years to instead checking every 6 months!

How Much Can I Really Help?
“It's not how much we give but how much love we put into giving.”
? Mother Teresa
One thing we've heard from many potential donors is that they're not really sure if their donation makes an impact.
"What is a couple bucks really going to change?"
We can't overstate this enough: no
gift is too small, and every dollar you contribute makes a difference.
The generousity that you show with your contribution is sowing the seeds of change for as long as we're here: for our children, our grandchildren, and all future generations.
Here is an example of how far your dollars will go:
$25 – Prints 50 fact sheets to help educate our neighbors
$50 – Supports public lectures and events
$100 – Helps pay concrete experts on Seabrook's concrete
$250 – Helps pay for legal aid
Please keep in mind these are examples of what your donations could provide but don't necessarily mean your donation will be applied this way.
Every day
is a new opportunity to make a difference, to make an impact for the good of the world.
Your contribution will help us make that impact.
Thank you, in advance, for teaming up with us!
