...Maine, and the Boston metropolitan area. The Seabrook nukes are also the cornerstone of the New England Utilities' nuclear strategy. And they may well be the test case of the will and ability of the national nuclear industry to move us to Nuclear America. A recent nuclear industry journal stated that after so many years of public opposition and attention to Seabrook, the nuclear folks must finish building it and start it operating safely or they will see the tide turn against them...
