Entergy Loses Appeal, Radioactive Leaks to be Considered
March 5, 2009
Riverkeeper Team
On March 5, the NRC denied an appeal filed by Entergy, the owner of Indian Point, which sought to throw out an important environmental claim raised by Riverkeeper in its challenge to the plant’s relicensing.
Riverkeeper’s claim objects to Entergy’s assessment of the environmental impacts of highly toxic radioactive water leaks from the facility’s spent fuel pools. Now that the Commissioners have rejected this final appeal, Riverkeeper, bolstered further, will continue to litigate this important issue.
