The dome covering the Seabrook Station Nuclear power plant in Seabrook, New Hampshire. Construction of the plant started in the late 1970s but didn't start operating until 1990 due to legal challenges and a change in ownership. The plant is now seeking to renew its original 40-year license another 20 years. Over half of the U.S.'s nuclear plants have been given 20-year extensions to their licenses.
