US | Indian Point Exploding Transformer Shuts NY Nuke Plant Indian Point blast being investigated By Rob Quinn Posted Nov 8, 2010 3:11 AM CST Copied Control room agent Russell Warren monitors various readings and levels at the Indian Point nuclear power plant, owned by Entergy Nuclear, in Buchanan, NY. (AP Photo/Julie Jacobson, File) One of two units at a nuclear power plant 24 miles north of New York City was shut down after a transformer exploded last night. No one was injured and there was no danger of a radiation leak, officials at the Indian Point plant told AP. The unit will remain closed while the incident is investigated. A Vermont plant owned by the same company was closed half an hour later after workers detected radioactive water seeping from a leaky pipe. Regulators say the two shutdowns were a "complete coincidence." Read These Next JD Vance in hot water over birthday boating trip.
