Entergy’s Indian Point Energy Center
IEEE Tappan Zee Subsection, ASME & SME Westchester Chapters Present
Entergy Nuclear Northeast is part of Entergy Corporation, a national energy company based in New Orleans. Entergy owns, operates and manages ten nuclear generation plants that are among the safest and most professionally operated energy facilities in the United States. Entergy owns and operates the Indian Point Energy Center, located in Buchanan, N.Y. Westchester County. Indian Point provides power to millions of homes, thousands of businesses, and hundreds of critical transportation, health and municipal systems.
Nuclear energy is a price-stable energy source and does not fluctuate like natural gas prices or other fossil fuels. For New York State's electrical grid, closing Indian Point would reduce the amount of power available by 11 percent. Resulting blackouts will cost area businesses an additional $3 billion.
Please Note: Pre-registration and background check is required for plant entry. Everyone registering must complete a background check form for security processing. Upon arrival at 5:00 pm you will go through a Security checkpoint to obtain a visitor’s badge. Once inside the plant refreshments will be offered and Entergy representatives will give a short presentation of the facilities. After the presentation you be escorted on a limited tour of the plant.
