Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Unit 2 issued the following announcement on May 22.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff will discuss the 2019 safety performance of the
Seabrook nuclear power plant during a virtual meeting on June 3.
Seabrook Station is located in Seabrook, N.H., and operated by NextEra Energy
Seabrook, LLC
The session will begin at 5:30 p.m. Online registration is required to take part. After
registering, a confirmation email will be sent with details for joining the meeting. To hear the
presentation, those interested must register to obtain the phone call-in number.
NRC staff responsible for plant inspection and oversight will participate, including the
resident inspectors based full-time at the site.
Seabrook operated safely in 2019. At the end of the year, all inspection findings and
performance indicators were of very low safety significance, or green. As a result, it remains under
the NRC’s normal level of oversight, which entails thousands of hours of inspection each year.
The NRC Reactor Oversight Process uses color-coded inspection findings and indicators to
measure plant performance. The colors start at green and increase to white, yellow or red,
commensurate with the safety significance of the issues involved. Inspection findings or performance
indicators with more than very low safety significance trigger increased NRC oversight.
Inspections at Seabrook are performed by two NRC resident inspectors and specialist
inspectors from the Region I Office in King of Prussia, Pa.
The annual assessment letter for Seabrook, as well as the meeting notice, are available on the
NRC website. Current performance information is also available and updated quarterly.
