ALERT: Indian Point 2 Shuts Back Down to Weld Leaky Pipe, Test Breaker (12:05:50 PM)
Engineers found a small leak of Hudson River water from a pipe in a non-radioactive system.
BUCHANAN, NY – Control room operators at Entergy’s Indian Point Unit 2 nuclear power plant temporarily removed the plant from service Friday morning to complete weld repairs to a pipe that had been leaking a small amount of Hudson River water, and to enable workers from Con Edison to test a breaker in a switchyard located near Indian Point in Buchanan, company officials announced.
Unit 2 only just went back online -- June 16 -- after having been shut down for refueling and a 10-year inspection under its Aging Management Program that found degraded bolts inside the reactor.

I'm north of there but not far enough away to be safe if anything serious happened.
