September 28th, 2013: Run for Your Life!
Indian Point Unit 2 license expires, operates under special NRC extension:
only U.S.A. nuclear reactor ever to do so!
At 12:00 a.m. on 9/28/13, Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant Unit 2 (IP2)

the Peekskill Riverfront Green on Saturday, September 28th to call public
attention to the continued operation of IP2 despite its current license
expiring on that same day. In addition, we will be holding vigils at 6
locations within 10 miles of the Power Plant. We need you to hop on your
bike, stretch your legs, grab your paddles, or dig your boots into the
concrete and join us!
