No need for wiki I checked it all out last year. My Papa was a foreman on a nuclear plant revamp/expansion for several years when I was growing up so I have kind of kept track on them over the years knowing the health issues it caused him.It was considered the most dangerous plant in the US in 2011 due to the age, the population surrounding it and its inability to withstand a larger earthquake. Its easy to look up the stats online.Testing showing what is leaking has been blown out of proportion? It has been leaking for a long time. Twenty million people live in that area that are affected by the plant that has been consider the most dangerous nuclear plant in the country for years. The investors have known this for years and should have already had another backup plan in place.Besides the stuff Riverkeeper blew out of proportion, what is it that you're talking about?
Where is your data for calling it "the most dangerous nuclear plant in the country"?
You do realize how subjective most of those categories are? They deal with risks, potential risks, and assumptions of catastrophic failures, not actual safety lapses or issues.
The plant has actually been out of increased federal monitoring for a few years now, due to its increased safety culture. Look up the wiki article for details.
That still doesn't make Indian Point somehow the "most dangerous plant" in the country. There is the fact that any serious accident could impact a large, mostly static population, but again, that is a risk, not a hard technical issue that would make something in the plant truly dangerous.
