Political Factoid

The 40-year old Indian Point nuclear power plant,
which supplies 30% of New York City power,
is at the end of its design life and has sought
over 100 fire code exemptions because
it is unable to meet the safety requirements.
 
The operators are trying to railroad through an "extension"
to the operating license to operate it for another
20 years (beyond its design life).
