After Indian Point

When a nuclear power plant is in your neighborhood, you tend to know it. The first Indian Point reactor opened in 1962 and despite one of the best safety records in the country, it was a target. Gov. Andrew Cuomo has called it a "ticking time bomb." Indian Point will stop ticking in April 2021. And the ripple effects of its closure will hit neighboring towns hard. Entergy, which owns Indian Point, pays millions to the village of Buchanan and the surrounding area and has 1,000 employees. Local businesses depend on the massive industry for their livelihood.
