The Indian Point Leak, Radioactive Material in the Hudson

The Leonard Lopate Show | Feb 12, 2016

Officials at the Indian Point nuclear power plant reported earlier this month that radioactive water leaked into groundwater under the facility, which is located 35 miles north of New York City. Gov. Andrew Cuomo called the leak "alarming" and reported that in one well, radioactivity levels rose nearly 65,000%. Riverkeeper President Paul Gallay and Cheryl Nenn, Milwaukee Riverkeeper and member of the Waterkeeper Council, join us to discuss the Indian Point leak and nuclear plant safety issues in general.
