Since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, many in the
New York City area have become concerned about the possible consequences of a similar
attack on the Indian Point nuclear power plants—located about 40 miles from Manhattan,
and have made calls for their closure. Any closure, however, would require actions to
replace the 2000 MW of power supplied by the plants. To examine this issue in detail,
the Congress directed DOE to request a study from the NRC of options for replacing the
power. This report presents detailed review of both demand and supply options for
replacing that power as well as meeting expected demand growth in the region. It also
assesses institutional considerations for these options along with their expected impacts.
Finally, the report provides an analysis of scenarios for implementing the replacement
options using simulation modeling.
