The Indian Point nuclear plant in New York released millions of gallons of radioactive water into the Hudson River for more than 60 years, according to a report. A federal investigation from 1970 shows that the plant discharged an average of two to three million gallons of processed wastewater each year. Further, a recent letter to the stakeholders also confirmed that treated radioactive wastewater had been discharged into the Hudson River since almost the beginning. It stated that annual environmental and radiation reports had been submitted to federal regulators. Operations at the Indian Point nuclear plant started on September 16, 1962, and it was fully shuttered on April 30, 2021. According to the Daily Mail, which uncovered the probe into the environmental impact of the plant, processed wastewater and treated radioactive effluents were regularly released into the Hudson.
