	Mesothelioma SOS - Asbestos Exposure at Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant
		The Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant in Buchanan, Westchester County, New York, was built by Consolidated Edison, Inc. This early nuclear plant made use of an experimental pressurized water reactor in order to produce energy to fuel electricity for millions of area residents.
		Just like a conventional power plant, nuclear plants use miles and miles of pipes to accomplish the task of supplying power through nuclear means to homes and businesses in the area.
		Former employees may be concerned with exposure that might have occurred during their 12 years of employment at Indian Point, and though the powerhouse has been closed for more than thirty years, it often takes decades for asbestos-related cancer to surface.

	Consolidated Edison (Con Edison) :: The Encyclopedia of New York State :: Syracuse University Press
		Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant 1, an experimental pressurized water reactor (PWR), began generating power in 1962 after many delays but had to be shut down permanently in 1974 following a steam leak that caused water to enter the reactor vessel.
		The 950 MW Indian Point 2 went operational in 1973, four years later than projected, and after numerous Nuclear Regulatory Commission citations and nearly continuous controversy, was sold with the defunct Indian Point 1 to Energy Nuclear in 2001.
		Indian Point 3 was sold to the New York Power Authority in 1975, before construction was completed (and the plant was later sold to Entergy Corp).

	The Steam Generator Tube Rupture at Indian Point 2 Nuclear Power Plant
		On the evening of February 15, the Indian Point 2 reactor was at 99% power.
		Nuclear power drops off rapidly at first, then at a -0.3 decades per minute rate, so that within 20 minutes, the reactor power is at 0.000001 % power.
		Since the early days of commercial nuclear power, plant staffs at all plants have monitored the integrity of the steam generator tubes using eddy current techniques during the normally scheduled refueling outages.

		All of the spent fuel rods at Indian Point from more than 30 years of generating electricity are stored in a pool that, in my younger days, I could jump across.
		The problem may be related to the plant's most recent April-6 shutdown, but can only be detected while the plant's main generator is producing electricity at operating levels that can not be achieved by pre-operational testing of this non-safety related equipment.
		Now that the Federal Emergency Management Agency has approved Indian Point's emergency plan, Entergy is anxious to continue working with federal officials, the four surrounding counties and New York State to enhance the plan and make it a model of emergency preparedness for the entire nation.

	Impacts of a Terrorist Attack at Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant
		Although the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) ordered modest security upgrades at Indian Point and other nuclear power plants in response to the 9/11 attacks, the plants remain vulnerable, both to air attacks and to ground assaults by large terrorist teams with paramilitary training and advanced weaponry.
		This report presents the results of an independent analysis of the health and economic impacts of a terrorist attack at Indian Point that results in a core meltdown and a large radiological release to the environment.
		Both NRC and Entergy, the owner of Indian Point, assert that even for the most severe terrorist attack, current emergency plans will be adequate to protect residents who live in the evacuation zone within ten miles of the plant.

	Riverkeeper.org, Indian Point
		Due to the plant's vulnerability to terrorism, a laundry list of safety problems, the storage of 1500 tons of radioactive waste onsite, and the lack of a workable evacuation plan, Riverkeeper has been working toward the permanent shutdown of the Indian Point nuclear power plant.
		In addition, Riverkeeper is working with elected officials and the community to prevent a 20-year license extension for the Indian Point 2 & 3, currently licensed until 2013 and 2015, respectively.
		Despite all the problems and public opposition to the plant, Entergy, the owner/operator, submitted its relicensing application to the NRC on April 30, 2007.

	Susan Konig on Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant on National Review Online
		My little Westchester town is just down the road from the Indian Point nuclear power plant, a few miles as the crow flies (or as the fallout drifts, depending on which way the wind is blowing).
		If the sirens sound from the plant, the normal school day will continue but kids will kept inside with the windows closed.
		And anyway, if the plant blows up or melts down, aren't we all going to be running in place like Wile E. Coyote before a big boulder drops on his head?
