Statement from Governor Andrew Cuomo
“At approximately 7:00 pm,
Unit 3 at the Indian Point nuclear facility shut down. The cause is
currently unknown, but I immediately directed the Department of Public
Service to commence an investigation into another unexpected incident at
Indian Point. The company reports there was no radioactivity released
to the environment.
“Because of the number of recent unplanned outages, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's requirements will result in increased inspections and scrutiny of the plant. A thorough investigation of this shutdown is underway and we will make sure the safety of New Yorkers is not compromised.”
