To require the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to conduct an Independent Safety Assessment of the Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant.

This bill would require the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to perform a comprehensive, independent safety audit of the Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant in Westchester County, New York. The assessment would examine the facility’s physical design, construction, and daily operations, while also requiring the NRC and the Department of Homeland Security to evaluate the effectiveness of the plant’s emergency evacuation plans. By mandating a review as rigorous as the 1996 safety assessment of the Maine Yankee plant, the legislation aims to provide the public with a detailed, third-party verification of the facility's structural integrity and its readiness to respond to a radiological emergency.
