Since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, many in the New York City area have become concerned about the possible consequences of a similarattack on the Indian Point nuclear power plantslocated about 40 miles from Manhattan, and have made calls for their closure. Any closure, however, would require actions toreplace the 2000 MW of power supplied by the plants. To examine this issue in detail, the Congress directed DOE to request a study from the NRC of options for replacing thepower. This report presents detailed review of both demand and supply options forreplacing that power as well as meeting expected demand growth in the region. It alsoassesses institutional considerations for these options along with their expected impacts. Finally, the report provides an analysis of scenarios for implementing the replacementoptions using simulation modeling.
