Inside the Fight to Stop Indian Point From Dumping Radioactive Water into the Hudson River ([link removed])
[link removed]
When Courtney Williams heard that a deactivated nuclear power plant, Indian Point, would start dumping more than 1 million gallons of radioactive water into the nearby Hudson River this summer, she immediately thought of her 10-year-old son.
“I signed my kid up to learn how to sail with his best buddy. And now I have to ask myself: is that really going to be safe for him?” Williams pondered.
Williams has joined over 440,000 people in signing a petition to stop Holtec International, the company that now owns Indian Point, from moving forward with the dumping plan, and is part of a coalition looking to finally put an end to the practice of discharging the plant’s waste into the waterway, which was quietly done for years when the facility was still open.
