・ The fire at the plant, located 24 miles from New York City, began around 6 p.m. and was doused by the plant’s sprinkler system. It did not amount to a “nuclear emergency,” said Jerry Nappi, a spokesman for Entergy, the company that operates Indian Point. No one was injured, he added.
・ Firefighters “saturated” the damaged transformer “with a special kind of foam,” said Mr. Cuomo, who voiced environmental concerns about the foam as well as oil released from the transformer during the fire.
“There is a lot of foam and a lot of oil and now we are worried about that leaking in to the Hudson River,” he said. Foam or oil could enter the river through storm drains, he said.

・ The incident was the second shutdown in just three days. "Unit 3 had been shut down Thursday morning for an unrelated issue, a water leak on the non-nuclear side of the plant," the Associated Press reports.
