ALICE E. ROKER REGISTRAR OF VITAL STATISTICS TowrN CLERK TELEPHONE 914 962-5722 ExT. 209 FA)x 914 962-6591 aliceeyorktownny.org TOWN OF YORKTOWN 363 UNDERHILL AVENUE, P.O. BOX 703 YORKTOWN HEIGHTS, N.Y. 10598 This is a resolution adopted by the Town Board of the Town of Yorktown at its regular meeting held on June 1, 2004.
- _WHEREAS, Entergy Corp., owner and operator of the Indian Point Nuclear Power Plants, has expressed its intent to apply for operating license extensi6ohsof 20 tyearsforFIP2-ahd P3-and -
being that the Town Board of the Town of Yorktown has previously expressed its concern over the continued operation of the nuclear power plants at the Indian Point Energy Center in a resolution passed on December 18, 2001 calling for the temporary closure of all Indian Point Nuclear Power Plants, and WHEREAS, the Westchester County Board of Legislators adopted Resolution No. 142-2002, which calls on officials from the Federal, State and Local governments to work with relevant parties to develop a plan that includes the below listed action steps, namely:
- 1. The development of an alternative, uninterrupted, and affordable energy source to replace the power currently produced at:Indian Point.
- 2. The development of a financial plan that will mitigate the negative real estate tax implications on the local communities, school districts and county government.
- 3. The development of a plan to positively consider the current employees, such consideration will include job placement, retraining of affected workers, and other employment strategies, and
- 4. The development of a plan that ensures that spent fuel rods will be immediately secured and properly protected on site from the threat of a terrorist attach or accident, and that an orderly closure and decommissioning of the Indian Point Nuclear Power
- -Plants -begin at the earliest possible time, and
-WHEREAS, the Town Board concurs with the content of Westchester County Board of Legislators Resolution No. 142-2002, based on the potential of a terror attack on the plants, a concern about the age of the plants, and the potential results of a failure of equipment or human error in the operations of the plants, and WHEREAS, Indian Point 2 and 3 were initially licensed based on Nuclear.Regulatory Commission (NRC) regulations promulgated over 30 years ago, and if plant owners were to apply for a license to operate a nuclear-power-plant at the Indian Point site today, it would not likely be granted by the NRC under its-current standards and regulations, specifically prohibiting the siting of nuclear power plants based on population density considerations, now, therefore -
BE IT RESOLVED, that the Town Board opposes the re-licensing of Indian Point 2 and 3
i, 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 Generic Environmental Impact Statement process, its siting regulations to reflect current considerations including that of terrorism, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Town Clerk forward the text of this resolution to Westchester County's State and Federal delegation, to all legislative bodies and elected officials within Westchester County, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and Entergy Corp. so that the intent of this Town Board be widely known.
