Kara, Im responding to the email you sent to NRC Chairman Stephen Burns on March 7 on the Indian Point nuclear plant.

We share your concern that the Indian Point nuclear power station operate safely. The NRC conducts a very extensive oversight and inspection program at each nuclear power plant to assure that if a plant is operating, it is doing so safely. If we concluded a plant was not operating safely, we would order it shut down.

We conduct thousands of hours of inspection at each Indian Point unit each year to ensure our requirements are met. The majority of that inspection effort is carried out by our resident inspectors who work at the plant on a daily basis. They are supplemented by specialist inspectors from the Regional Office. Based on our inspection and oversight efforts, we continue to conclude that Indian Point is operating safely.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely, Diane Screnci Sr. Public Affairs Officer USNRC, RI 610-337-5330
