Changes to the Indian Point emergency plan will be made with NRC approval, corresponding with the reduced risk of an event at the site through the various stages of decommissioning. With Unit 3 shut down and the reactor permanently defueled, the risk of an event significantly decreases and the Emergency Planning Zone (formerly a 10-mile radius around the plant) eventually will be reduced to the site boundary with NRC approval of the Emergency Plan change. There are still emergency procedures station employees must follow, but they are primarily based on industrial risk, not radiological risk. Any proposed changes would be consistent with other decommissioning plants and require approval by the NRC.
