Transformer at nuclear power plant only 35 MILES from New York City explodes, causing oil spillage and sending black smoke billowing into the sky –Transformer exploded into flames at Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant | 09 May 2015 | A transformer exploded at the [Entergy] Indian Point nuclear power plant in suburban New York – only 35 miles away from midtown Manhattan – on Saturday, sending black smoke billowing into the sky. The blaze, which sparked an oil leakage, forced the automatic shutdown of the facility's Unit 3 reactor, which sits near the Hudson River and supplies five per cent of the power to the state. It was initially extinguished by a sprinkler system and on-site personnel, officials said. It then started up again, but has since been put out.
