On April 30, 2007 Entergy submitted an application to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to extend Indian Point's operating licenses for another twenty years. The two reactors are over thirty years old. As their safety problems continue to escalate, there is still no workable emergency evacuation plan for 300,000 residents living within the 10-mile radius of Indian Point and no evacuation plan for those living outside the 10-mile radius, including over 8.5 million NYC residents. Currently, the NRC does not take emergency planning issues, increases in population density, and infrastructure into consideration when determining whether a nuclear power plant should be relicensed.
Tell the NRC that emergency planning should be part of Indian Point's relicensing process.
