ALBANY — New York announced a provisional agreement Thursday to decommission and clean up Westchester’s soon-to-be shuttered Indian Point nuclear power facility.
The deal with energy company Holtec International, which still requires approval by the New York State Public Service Commission, was first announced by Attorney General Letitia James.
“Once fully approved, this agreement will result in a safer, faster, and more thorough decommissioning process that exceeds stringent federal standards,” James said in a statement. “We will continue to work diligently to see this closure through with an eye toward the safety of millions of New Yorkers.”
