		He was commissioned by Gov. Pataki (who was running for re-election at the time) to examine whether the emergency plan was adequate and would protect the residents in the event of a radiological release at Indian Point, in particular a fast-breaking release of radiation triggered by a terrorist attack.
		The Witt study also found several other major flaws in the emergency plan, including the false assumption by FEMA and Indian Point’s owners that parents would obey official orders to not pick up their children and instead allow school or camp officials to bus their children to reception centers in another area.
		After the Witt study was release, the four counties who are responsible for implementing the emergency evacuation plan refused to participate in the annual certification process citing concerns by their own emergency officials who said they could not implement the plan.

		While county and state approval of emergency procedures is desirable, Nuclear Regulatory Commissions rules do not require it for a plant to continue operating.
		Witt's report found that the Indian Point plans were "not adequate" to "protect the people from an unacceptable dose of radiation in the event of a release from Indian Point." The report recommended a revision of federal regulations guiding the the disaster plans.
		Sheehan said that even if the emergency management agency were to tell the commission that planning was deficient, the commission would have to find that the preparations for an emergency did not provide "reasonable assurance that adequate protective measures can and will be taken in event of a radiological emergency" before it would act.

		So furious was the government onslaught and so feeble the resistance to the emergency from civil society that the backbone of the movement was broken in a few months and J P was left ruing that his "world lay in shambles".
		J P was "unable either to diagnose the ills of the Indian polity or suggest effective remedies for them" and merely heaped all the blame on Congress and Indira Gandhi.

		Remarkably, Indian Point also enjoys the very singular distinction of being at the very top of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s list of the "most trouble-plagued nuclear plants in the nation." In light of these facts, the county’s evacuation plan, largely ignored in the past, is now a crucial issue.
		There is no way we can evacuate this region if there is a nuclear emergency." The 10-mile zone is an invention of the NRC and the nuclear industry, who realized that a 50-mile evacuation zone, which includes 20 million people, was utterly impossible and could not even be proposed.
		At Indian Point there is a spent fuel pool that may contain up to 600 tons of radioactive material.

	Essay on Native American Environmental Issues
		Indians moved in a sentient world, managing its bounty and diversity carefully lest they upset the spirit "bosses," who balanced and endowed that world.
		Since the majority of Indian reservations are in the arid West, it is understandable that water has been a central environmental issue.
		Indians were never ecologists—something that refers to a highly abstract and systematic science—but they were careful students of their functional environments, bound by material and cultural needs and constraints, striving for maximum sustained yield, not maximum production.

		While the current emergency response plan is wholly inadequate to protect the public from any event beyond a minor radioactive release at Indian Point, we are in no way advocating abandonment of the plan.
		In the event of an actual emergency, we fully expect the County Executives to move swiftly to implement the existing plan for what it is worth.

		Long before an emergency was imposed on the country by prime minister Indira Gandhi in 1975-77, an emergency was imposed on Indian higher education in the early 1970s.
		The ever-insecure new prime minister was eager to prove her progressive credentials in the battle against the verna-cular elite who had come to dominate the Indian National Congress.
		Indian higher education is still waiting for politicians with vision, who will trust the intellectuals more than they trust the bureaucrats of the ministries of education, culture, information, home and foreign affairs.

		If somebody actually reads the article, they'll come to their own conclusions, and it's not likely to be favourable of the Emergency for the simple reason that there's not much about the Emergency to like.
		It's really much stronger if we can quote Indira herself saying that she "brought democracy to a grinding halt", than if we just adopt a POV of our own out of the blue.
		Non-Congress parties is a less accurate term, because the anti-Indira groups included factions of Congress that Indira had fallen out with (such as Indian National Congress (Organisation)).

	Riverkeeper: FEMA should step aside on Indian Point emergency plans
		Citing what it called FEMA's inept response to Hurricane Katrina, Riverkeeper said the agency should not have approved emergency evacuation plans for Indian Point, and called for that approval to be rescinded and the plants' operating license to be suspended until an independent body similar to the Sept. 11 Commission could complete an investigation.
		"To continue to pretend that evacuating or protecting New York-area residents from a nuclear emergency is possible is simply dishonest and a gross miscarriage of the federal government's duty to protect the health and safety of the American people," said Alex Matthiessen, Riverkeeper's president.
		Larry Gottlieb, a spokesman for Entergy Nuclear Northeast, Indian Point's owner, called it shameful for Riverkeeper to turn the hurricane that ravaged the Gulf Coast into a discussion about the nuclear plant and to question FEMA's overall record.
