' RESOLUTION OPPOSING THIER-LICENSiiG OP THiE INDIAN POINT N bCLIJEAR P'OwRPLANTh Trustee Livingston offered the following resolution, which was seconded by Trustee Milano and adopted:
WHEREAS, Entergy Corp., owner and operator of the Indian Point Nuclear Power Plants, have expressed their intent to apply for, and be granted operating license extensions of 20 years for Indian Point 2 and 3, and WHEREAS, the Village of Irvington has previously expressed its concern over the continued operation of the nuclear power plants at the Indian Point Energy Center, and is restating its intentions, and WHEREAS, Indian Point 2 and 3 were licensed 30 years ago, based on NRC regulations promulgated over 30 years ago, and were'pehriittideto'operated based on siting regulations that are no longer valid, and if they'vere to initialfiTappl for a li6&ns to operate aiuclear powerplant at the Indian Point site today, it would not likely be granted by the NRC under its current standards and regulations.
Specifically - NRC's current regulations pr'ohibit the siting of nuclear power plants based on population density considerations, and, in addition, 'accordinig to the findings of the Witt-Report, the evacuation plan presently in place is simply not workable, and WHEREAS, Taking into consideration the current NRC licensing requirements for a nuclear power plant, Indian Point's aging plants and equipment, the multiple, newer energy options available today, and the constant threat of being a prime target for an act of terrorism, it is the responsibility of this lawmaking body, in the interest of public safety, to call on the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to dismiss future applications and not grant their renewal, now therefore be it RESOLVED, that the Board of Trustees of theVillage of Irvington opposes the re-licensing of Indian Point 2 and Indian Point 3 when their current licenses expire in 2013 and 2015, respectively, and that the NRC prohibit Entergy Corp.'s Indian Point 2 and 3 from being re-licensed, and to make this finding as soon as possible so that all concerned and involved parties can devote their time and resources to finding alternatives to the existing nuclear power plants, and be it further RESOLVED, that the NRC should modify, through its GEIS process, its siting regulations to reflect current considerations including that of terrorism, and be it further RESOLVED, that the Clerk of the Village of Irvington forward the text of this resolution to the Westchester County's State and Federal Delegation, Nuclear Regulatory commission and Entergy Corp.,
so that the intent of this Honorable Board be widely knoyp.,,,
i The vote resulted as follows:
AYES:
4 (Mayor Flood, Trustees Klassen, Livingston, Milano)
