NEW YORK (Legal Newsline) - Holtec International says the State of New York has usurped the exclusive power of the federal government to regulate discharges at nuclear power plants.
State Sen. Pete Harckham and Assemblywoman Dana Levenberg have introduced legislation (S.5181) to prohibit the discharge of radiological agents into New York State waterways.
The sale of the Indian Point Energy Center by Entergy Corporation to subsidiaries of Holtec International has been completed. The plant, which shut down at the end of April after 45 years in operation, is the third project in Holtec's decommissioning fleet.
