By MATTHEW L. WALD
Some experts worry that a threat to the safe operation of aging reactors across the country may lurk in underground pipes.

Indian point has been a constant menace to the NYC region. When the bi-partisan report of an imminent attack on our mainland was published just after Bush assumed office in 2001, I assumed Indian Point might be a prime target. When I checked, I discovered that anyone could drive through its unguarded gates. I reported this to the NY Times which investigated for a time. A bit later the guards there themselves complained that they were inadequately staffed. Indian Point is owned by a Texas outfit — Entergy
What next?

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackOne cannot drive through the gate at Indian Point without proper ID. There are multiple levels of security between the front gate and plant, and all security guards are well trained and well armed (including automatic weapons).
Another correction: Entergy is a Louisiana corporation, not Texas.
Furthermore, Indian Point generates a significant percentage of the NYC area’s power at low cost. The elimination of Indian Point’s 2 units would result in significantly higher costs for electrical rate payers.
For one who intends to amass ” A Body of Information”, you seem to be off to a shaky start, quoting speculation about imagined attacks, erronious mis-info about access security, and blowing it on where Entergy lives.
If I thought anybody would believe you, I’d spend a bit more time correcting some of the many errors you offer…… but I think your own fantastical and off-base mythmaking will speak for itself, and drive people away without my help.
Have a wonderful life.
