Announcement Indian Point Update
October 21, 2025 Update: On October 20, 2025 the OAG filed a Notice of Appeal with the United States Second Circuit Court of Appeals. // September 25, 2025 update: On September 24, 2025, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York issued an opinion and order in case 7:24-cv-02929, Holtec International et al. v. The State Of New York. // June 24, 2024 update: As part of the DOB’s ongoing review of Holtec’s public filings with the USNRC, state agency members of the DOB learned that there were discharges of radiological substances to the Hudson River in calendar year 2023, well below allowable federal standards, but potentially inconsistent with the State’s law prohibiting the discharge of any radiological substance to the River in connection with decommissioning. The state agencies made the OAG aware, and they in turn made the court aware as part of the ongoing litigation. Because of the pending litigation, the DOB will have no further comment. The Holtec CY 2023 report is available on the USNRC’s public Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) at Accession No. ML24114A228. // On April 18, 2024, Holtec Decommissioning International filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court - Southern District of New York challenging New York State’s 2023 enacted legislation pertaining to wastewater discharges from nuclear decommissioning sites on the Hudson River (S. 6893 / A. 7208). The Office of the Attorney General (OAG) will review the complaint and represent the State. Given the active litigation, it is anticipated that Decommissioning Oversight Board meetings will forego discussion of the litigation and legislation.

Information
On February 28, 2017, New York State established the Indian Point Closure Task Force, led by the Department of Public Service, to provide guidance and support to the communities, taxing jurisdictions, and employees affected by the planned closure of Indian Point.
Subsequently, the Indian Point Decommissioning Oversight Board (DOB) was established in 2021 to coordinate oversight among state and local regulators, facilitate information exchange, expand public comment opportunities, enhance transparency, identify oversight gaps, and promote improvements related to the decommissioning of Indian Point.
