Maloney Statement on Radioactive Tritium-Contaminated Water Leak at Indian Point

Newburgh, NY – February 8, 2016 – (RealEstateRama) — Representative Sean Patrick Maloney (NY-18) issued the following statement after reports that radioactive tritium-contaminated water leaked into the groundwater at Indian Point Energy Center in Buchanan.

“This latest incident isn’t the first time Indian Point has been responsible for radioactive water and unless we get serious about shutting this place down, it’s far from the last. Since coming to Congress, I’ve worked to bring an end to operations at Indian Point because it’s too great a risk to the Hudson Valley.

“I applaud Governor Cuomo for calling for further investigation and look forward to working together to responsibly end nuclear operations at Indian Point while safeguarding the jobs of those who work there and keeping energy prices low for my neighbors in the Hudson Valley.”
