SIGN THE PETITION TODAY TO SHOW YOUR OPPOSITION

TO 20 MORE YEARS OF OPERATION.

Indian Point 2 & 3 are currently operating under their original 40 year licenses, which will expire in 2013 and 2015, respectively.  Entergy, the owner of Indian Point, submitted its application in April 2007; the NRC accepted the application for formal review in July 2007.   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.

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.   Given 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.
