? What will happen with the waste?

? What is the procedure and timetable for closure?

“The closure of Indian Point brings up many questions for our community” says Greenburgh

and the Sierra Club Lower Hudson Group are excited to offer the public an opportunity to get

their questions answered authoritatively on May 10th, 2017.”
