Statement from Governor Andrew Cuomo
"The unexpected shutdown of the reactor at
Indian Point 2 because of a weld leak is just the latest example of the
repeated and continuing problems at the plant. In the last year alone,
there has been unprecedented degradation of Indian Point Unit 2
baffle-former bolts, groundwater contamination, and increased NRC
oversight at Unit 3 due to numerous unplanned shutdowns. This is yet
another sign that the aging and wearing away of important components at
the facility are having a direct and unacceptable impact on safety, and
is further proof that the plant is not a reliable generation resource."
