WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (AP) - High levels of a radioactive material were found in groundwater near the Hudson River beneath a nuclear plant, the owner said Tuesday.
The material was nearly three times the amount permitted in drinking water.
The groundwater does not reach drinking supplies, and although the strontium-90 is believed to have reached the Hudson it would be safely diluted in the river, said Jim Steets, spokesman for Entergy Nuclear Northeast.
