Indian Point

New York Governor Kathy Hochul has signed legislation restricting discharges of radiological substances into the Hudson River.

Holtec’s announcement that it would move up the discharge of more than a million gallons of treated radioactive water from the Indian Point Energy Center in Buchanan, New York, from August to May was met with swift condemnation and public outcry. Now, the company is backing off those plans.

The body charged with overseeing the closure and decommissioning of the Indian Point nuclear power plant in New York’s Westchester County says May’s planned releases of spent fuel pools will be paused.

When nuclear power plants reach the end of their lifespan, they must be decommissioned, which involves removing spent fuel rods and safely disposing of radioactive materials. In Buchanan, New York, Governor Kathy Hochul and Holtec Inc. are garnering local opposition over a plan to discharge more than a million gallons of radioactive wastewater from Indian Point Energy Center into the Hudson River.
