The New England Coalition has been the peoples advocate for safe energy since 1971. Originally the New England Coalition on Nuclear Pollution, the Coalition was founded by several groups of citizens and scientists concerned about the nations growing civilian nuclear power program. Our mission has not changed: we investigate the safety, suitability, and environmental effects of nuclear power plants ; we participate in government hearings ; and we inform the public and government agencies of the hazards and risks of nuclear power. Today, in the face of the nuclear renaissance, the green washing of nuclear power as a response to climate change, the aging of our existing nuclear power plants and extension of their operations and storage capacity far beyond their design lifetimes, our mission is as urgent as it was forty years ago. The Coalition has set many precedents, forcing the NRC and the nuclear industry to more thoroughly address the aging of nuclear reactors, federal oversight, and safety. The Coalition has intervener status with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and participated as a full party in licensing proceedings for Seabrook, Vermont Yankee, the shut down of Rowe Yankee and two other plants now cancelled, and we have been continuously representing our members in legal interventions before the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board, the Vermont Public Service Board, and Vermonts Environmental Court. Seabrook is again on the Coalitions agenda, as its owners applied for a license extension a full 30 years before the license is due to expire. With a coalition of groups, we have petitioned the NRC to change the minimum amount of time a plant can request renewal. The Coalition has intervened before the NRC, Vermont Public Service Board, and in the Vermont Yankee sale, extended power up rate, on-site storage capacity for highly radioactive "spent" fuel ( both in 1977 and 1987 ), dry cask storage, water discharge, the license extension of Vermont Yankee and related dockets. NEC testified before the Vermont Senate during hearings prior to the 26-4 Senate vote in February 2010 denying license renewal to Vermont Yankee. Our technical advisors report on the economic impact of Maine Yankees closing played a key role in bringing facts to the emotional discussion during the Senates historic vote. Members of
