Issues at Seabrook Station
SAPL serves as a community watchdog organization with regard to the Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant (which is owned and operated by a company in Florida, 1500 miles away). There are several issues of concern surrounding the power plant, including severely inadequate evacuation plans, groundwater infiltration into the foundation structures and control system conduits, crumbling walls and foundation structures, and ongoing routine and accidental releases of radioactive fission by-products into the air and water.

Portsmouth Naval Shipyard Toxics Cleanup: COMPLETED
From 1995 through its completion in 2023, the Seacoast Anti-Pollution League worked with with and helped oversee the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard superfund cleanup of toxic sites.
While Superfund mitigation is complete, we must still be vigilant about the concerns of sea level rise and coastal flooding, which can severely impact the Shipyard and potentially release previously contained toxics.
