Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Unit 2 issued the following announcement on April 11.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff will hold a webinar for interested members of the
public on April 21 regarding the decommissioning of the Indian Point nuclear power plant, located
in Buchanan, N.Y.
The purpose of the webinar will be to provide key facts regarding the decommissioning
process and how the NRC regulates such activities through on-site inspections and other reviews.
The webinar will begin at 1 p.m., Eastern Time. Participants will be able to view slides
prepared by NRC staff and ask questions verbally and in writing via a web page set up to host the
session. Online registration is required to take part. The meeting notice will contain information on
how to access the webinar via phone bridge.
One of the two operating reactors at the plant, Unit 2, is scheduled to permanently cease
operations in late April. The other, Unit 3, will be taken offline for the last time in April 2021. The
Unit 1 reactor was permanently shut down in 1974 and has been in long-term storage since then,
awaiting eventual decommissioning.
The NRC is currently reviewing an application to transfer the license for the plant from
Entergy to Holtec, which has proposed decommissioning the facility in a more accelerated manner.
