The Nuclear Regulatory Commission says the Indian Point Two and Three nuclear power plants improved significantly during 2004.

In a March 2 letter, the NRC said, “Overall, Indian Point operated in a manner that preserved public health and safety and fully met all cornerstone objectives.

James Steets, Indian Point’s spokesman for owner Entergy Nuclear Operations, was pleased with the report. “Entergy is fully committed to operating the plants safely,” he said. “They’ve invested the money to make sure that happens, done the training and we’re quite pleased with results that we’ve had.” Steets said the company “Is not going to sit on our laurels; you can always make improvements.”

The NRC letter said, “Overall performance at Indian Point has improved over the last few years.”
