Seabrook safety review put off till 2012

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has put off completion of a safety review of Seabrook Station until the power plant can better explain and halt degradation of concrete at the plant from ground water.

The safety report, originally due out this month as part of the nuclear plant’s bid to continue operating once its license expires in 2030, will be pushed back at least until May 2012.
