State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo will join the fight to shut the Indian Point nuclear power plant, just 25 miles north of New York City in Westchester.
Cuomo will announce today his support of Westchester County Executive Andrew Spano in his legal battle with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the federal agency that oversees Indian Point, the Daily News has learned.

Indian Point was in the flight path of the jets that crashed into the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001.
The plant was built on the banks of the Hudson River 35 years ago in a then-rural area of Westchester. Today, more than 300,000 people live within 10 miles of the plant. New nuclear plants are no longer allowed to be built in such densely populated areas.
