| | Emergency Preparedness At The Indian Point Energy Center Located In Buchanan, New York (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) |
 | | Recently, several communities in New York have raised questions about the effectiveness of the Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan (REPP) at the Indian Point Energy Center, located in the City of Buchanan, Westchester County, New York (Indian Point). |
 | | FEMA and NRC both reviewed the existing emergency preparedness regulations following September 11th, and neither agency has deemed it necessary to alter the regulations relating to emergency preparedness, based on the premise that no matter the cause of a radiological release, the processes and manner in which governments respond should be the same. |
 | | As a result of this, local officials in the counties surrounding Indian Point have decided to withhold certain documents required for a preparedness plan to be certified by FEMA, until the concerns raised by that report have been addressed. |
