Transformer Explosion at Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant in Westchester; No Injuries Reported
Unit 3, which supplies 5 percent of the power to New York state, sits near the Hudson River, about 300 to 400 feet away from the reactor building, which is reinforced by a 4 to 6 foot wall of steel and concrete.
A spokesperson for Entergy, which owns the plant, said that a sprinkler put out the initial fire with the help of an on-site fire brigade.
Entergy said the fire was an “Unusual Event” — the lowest of four emergency response classifications.
