// Strategic Significance
Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant was permanently shut down in April 2021 but the decommissioning process will take decades and 2,000 tons of spent nuclear fuel remain stored on site 25 miles north of New York City. The plant formerly generated 2,100 megawatts supplying about 25 percent of New York City power. The transition away from Indian Point has required significant grid adjustments for the New York City region. Spent fuel storage creates long-term risk.
// Civilian Impact Assessment
Westchester County with 1 million residents and New York City with 8 million residents 25 miles away. Indian Point formerly supplied 25 percent of NYC power and its closure required major grid adjustments. 2,000 tons of spent fuel remain on the Hudson River indefinitely. The decommissioning will take decades.
// Evacuation & Shelter Guidance
US-9, Bleakley Avenue, Hudson River. Westchester County Emergency Management and NRC coordinate decommissioning and spent fuel protocols.
