See the EPA on TRITIUM, the CDC on STRONTIUM 90, and the NAS on exposure to ANY RADIATION AT ALL. SIGN THE ONLINE PETITION OPPOSING 20 MORE YEARS OF INDIAN POINT http://ga1.org/campaign/antirelicensingpetition Indian Point 2 & 3 are currently operating under their original 40 year licenses, which will expire in 2013 and 2015, respectively. The NRC has now accepted Entergy's application to renew their licenses. Both IP2 and IP3 have been plagued with major safety problems for decades and remain vulnerable to terrorist attack. As the facility continues to age, Indian Point will experience an increasing number of equipment and safety-related failures. What's at Stake? In 2003, the NRC found that a record number of unplanned outages at both units could have been avoided had Entergy corrected known problems. In August 2005 the IP2 spent fuel pool was found to be leaking about 2 liters of radioactive water a day, while IP3 was shutdown due to a malfunctioning control rod. With the NRC’s demonstrated lack of effective oversight and Entergy’s apparent disregard for public safety, renewing Indian Point’s licenses for another twenty years puts everyone living in the shadow of this plant at risk. In recent months the fight to prevent a 20-year license extension for Indian Point has reached local, county, and federal levels of government: citizens are presenting resolutions to their municipal boards; Westchester County Executive Andy Spano has filed a 2.802 petition with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission; and Congresswoman Nita Lowey (D-NY) has introduced the Nuclear Power Licensing Reform Act of 2005. To find out how you can bring a resolution to your municipal board, call 1-888-474-8848. To sign the petition, click here.

The
Indian Point Safe Energy Coalition (IPSEC)
is a coalition of environmental, health and public policy
organizations, founded in 2001 to address the vulnerability of the
nuclear reactors at Indian Point.
Over 20 million people live within 50 miles of the plant. Our
concerns include both existing radiation releases and potential
additional releases from either human error, aging infrastructure or
terrorism, and the flawed, unfixable evacuation plan. Our grassroots
efforts have enlisted the support of hundreds of local, state and
federal officials.
IPSEC
members are currently fighting the proposed 20 year relicensing of
the aging, leaking reactors. We have found a disturbing lack of
democratic process inherent in this complicated proceeding.
Nuclear
power is neither clean nor green! Conservation
and renewable energy sources hold the key to a sustainable future
for the Hudson Valley Region.
