The Seabrook nuclear power plant, better known as Seabrook Station, is a nuclear power plant in Seabrook, New Hampshire, about 40 miles north of Boston and 10 miles south of Portsmouth in the United States.

First, two reactors were planned, but the second was never completed due to delays in the construction and massive cost overruns.

The power plant was initially more than ten different owners, most of whom in 2002 their shares for a total of 837 million U.S. dollars to FPL Energy, a subsidiary of FPL Group, sold that therefore has 88.2 percent. The rest belongs to municipal facilities. Included in the purchase price are decommissioning fund, nuclear fuel and components of the discarded second block.

The reactor

The reactor 1 nuclear power plant is a pressurized water reactor from Westinghouse with a net electrical power output of 1244 MWe and a gross capacity of 1296 MWe. The system is cooled with water from the Atlantic.

Construction and commissioning

The construction of the nuclear power plant was started on July 7, 1976. The opponents of the power plant founded in 1976 the Clamshell Alliance, to protest against the construction of the power plant. There were several small demonstrations. More than 2,000 members of the Clamshell Alliance occupied the site in April 1977. 1414 activists were arrested and detained for two weeks. On 29 May 1990, the nuclear power plant was first synchronized after a long construction period as one of the last plants in the U.S. with the power grid. Commercial operation started up the system on August 19, 1990.

Shutdown

The shutdown of the plant is scheduled for 2026. According to other sources, the plant will likely be shut off until later because they are not yet the usual extension of the operating license by 20 years, as is common in the United States received.

Data of the reactor units
