Is New York City Nuclear Plant the next Chernobyl, Fukushima?

More than 17 million people live within 50 miles of Indian Point, nuclear plant in active seismic zone north of New York City.

“Will it take a Chernobyl or a Fukushima on US soil before we understand that nuclear power is unnecessary, dangerous and expensive?” said Jim Riccio, Greenpeace USA Nuclear Policy Analyst. “If a similar catastrophic release of radiation occurred at Indian Point, millions of people would be at risk, and evacuation would be impossible. We need to shut down Indian Point, and phase out nuclear power in favor of safe solutions like renewable energy and energy efficiency.”
