Radiological Safety
New York State has three (3) commercially licensed nuclear power sites that collectively contain six (6) nuclear power plants.
The sites are located at Indian Point in Westchester County; Nine Mile Point in Oswego County; and the R.E. Ginna site in Wayne County.
To meet the public health and safety concerns of the people living within the ten-mile emergency planning zones surrounding each site, SEMO works with the emergency management staffs of seven counties. They are:
- Indian Point: Westchester, Rockland,Orange and Putnam counties
- Nine Mile Point: Oswego County
- R.E. Ginna: Wayne and Monroe counties
