New York Attorney General Letitia James reached a provisional agreement with Holtec International Corp. on the retirement and cleanup of Entergy Corp.’s Indian Point nuclear plant upstate.
The agreement still needs to be approved by the New York State Public Service Commission, the state attorney general’s office said in a statement Thursday. Once that happens, Holtec would take over ownership of the power plant and would be responsible for decommissioning and cleaning up the plant and site.
