Radioactive water has leaked into the groundwater at the Indian Point nuclear facility, according to New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo.
Cuomo announced Saturday afternoon that his administration has started an investigation to determine the extent of the release, its likely duration, cause and potential impacts to the environment and public health.
He said that the facility, which is owned and operated by Entergy, reports that the contamination has not migrated offsite.
He cited “alarming levels of radioactivity” found at three monitoring wells.
