Replacing Indian Point Nuclear Energy Feasible
Print This
June 6 -- The energy generated by New York's Indian Point nuclear power plant could be replaced if it closes in coming years, but political, regulatory, and financial hurdles would make doing so difficult, says a new report from the National Research Council. With early planning and sufficient resources dedicated to replacing lost capacity and meeting expected increases in demand, the reactors could be retired in 2013 and 2015 without causing a major disruption.
