While federal regulators seem set to extend the plant’s life by another 20 years, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is just as determined to shut it down.
Critics of the plant have called it a “Chernobyl on the Hudson.” RT’s Alexey Yaroshevsky points out that this is not entirely fair. Indian Point is over 40 years old, and has had nine accidents over the last year alone. Chernobyl’s Reactor 4 was only three years old when it exploded in April 1986. Before then, the Chernobyl facility had only one previous accident.
