SAPL called attention to the illegal killing of federally protected
seals in the Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant's cooling tunnels. SAPL's
vigilance resulted in a reprieve for countless more seals that would
have been fatally trapped inside the tunnels had the practice continued.
We monitor the impact of Seabrook Station on the people and ecosystems
in our region. We successfully opposed the plant's bid to extend
the period between refueling to two years, an extension that would
have saved the plant money but significantly reduced public safety.
We played a key role in getting New Hampshire to reverse a long
standing policy against distributing potassium iodide (K1) to residents
within the 10-mile evacuation zone surrounding Seabrook Station
and Vermont Yankee. In the event of a nuclear accident, K1 can help
protect people, particularly children, from thyroid cancer and other
diseases. The action paved the way for other states to follow suit.
