Hampton is a New Hampshire seacoast town approximately 6 miles from the Seabrook Nuclear Power Station — placing it squarely within the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone. Hampton Beach is one of the most visited beaches in New England, bringing hundreds of thousands of visitors into the EPZ during summer months. During a nuclear event at Seabrook, coordinating evacuation of a large seasonal tourist population alongside permanent residents would be an extraordinary emergency management challenge.
