Armnonk, New York 10504 EstabUshed 1736 Ann Leber Telephone: (914) 273X3321 Town Clerk RESOLUTION ADOPTED BY THE TOWN BOARD Fax: (914) 273-4176 OF THE TOWN OF NORTH CASTLE ww.northcastleny.cor AT A MEETING HELD ON JUNE 9,2004 WHEREAS, Entergy Corp., owner and operator of the Indian Point Nuclear Power Plants, has expressed its intent to apply for operating licence extensions of 20 years for IP2 and IP3, and being that the Town Board of the Town of North Castle 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 November 21, 2001 calling for the temporary closure of all Indian Point Nuclear Power Plants, and WHEREAS, the Westchester County Board of Legislators adopted Resolution No. 142-002, 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 attack 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 of the Town of North Castle opposes the re-licensing of Indian Point 2 and 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 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 forvard to 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.
STATE OF NEW YORK COUNT OF WESTCHESTER I, Ann Leber, Town Clerk of the Town of North Castle, County of Westchester, State of New York, do hereby certify that I have compared the preceding copy of a Resolution adopted by the Town Board of the Town of North Castle at a meeting held on the 9t' day of June, 2004, to the original thereof, and that the same is a true and exact copy of said original and of the whole thereof.
