A lot of people who strongly support us have made that statement in a tough political environment. We find that to be a supportive statement from the standpoint that the challenges for replacing Indian Point are such that replacing it is unrealistic. |
Clearly, these are different findings than we've seen, but they're not near any drinking water supplies. It still remains that there's no public health threat here. |
Entergy has repeatedly demonstrated that it meets or exceeds safety and security regulations at Indian Point in several comprehensive assessments conducted by federal and local agencies. New York residents would be better served if these elected officials actually read the assessments, rather than waste tax dollars on new unwarranted assessments to mollify the extreme elements of their constituencies that oppose nuclear power. |
In the old days, they weren't structured to respond as quickly as they are now. Once we knew for sure there were no equipment malfunctions, we could begin the process of restarting. |
It's a quarterly test, full volume, of all the sirens, but it's also the activations system. Our last test demonstrated that the sirens operated well. We hope we'll get the same or better results and we'll continue with the tests until the system is replaced. |
It's a sign that we are supportive of the attorney general and a clear indication of the regard ENPAC members have for the attorney general. |
It's like in Monopoly, when you get a bank error in your favor. We don't get them often. |
It's what we call service water. It's river water. It keeps the motors cool. It comes in and goes out. It doesn't even need to be treated. |
Perhaps an assessment, given Indian Point's recent media attention, will clarify for the public that Indian Point is being operated safely. |
The pumps were never in danger. It's a small leak that a worker noticed and reported, and everybody took the right steps. |
There's no cover over the switch because it's 10 feet off the ground. It was an accident. We could be back up in a couple of days. |
We appreciate the anger. We're not any happier than they are. |
We liked it better when the tritium was in the discharge canal, because that's a monitored pathway. We have another monitored with the new well, but is that the only place? We don't know. That's why we're digging additional wells. |
We made some changes in the software and made sure we wouldn't have a situation where so much input and data came in so quickly. That apparently was successful in addressing the problems. |
We rotate shutting down (the plants) from year to year. We ran a shorter cycle for Indian Point 2 this time so that both plants are now done in the spring. |
