SW: →Problems at Indian Point: Breaux Lott
In January 2008, the NRC proposed a $650,000 fine against Indian Point, for not meeting the "deadline to install new emergency warning sirens with backup power supplies." The fine is "10 times the normal size" of such sanctions, reported the ''New York Times'', with possible additional fines if the safety requirements are not met "in a timely manner." <ref>Matthew Wald, "[http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/25/nyregion/25indian.html $650,000 Fine Urged for Indian Point Owner]," ''New York Times'', January 25, 2008.</ref>
In April 2009, Entergy hired the [[Breaux Lott Leadership Group]] PR firm, to "deal with nuclear issues as the license of its Indian Point facility ... is up for renewal." The firm's leadership, former U.S. Senators [[John Breaux]] and [[Trent Lott]], will work on the Entergy account, along with their sons. "A round of raucous public hearings is expected" as part of Indian Point's license renewal application, according to the trade publication ''O'Dwyer's''. <ref>"[http://www.odwyerpr.com/members/0407entergy.html Entergy Plus into Breaux Lott]," ''O'Dwyer's PR Daily'' (sub req'd), April 7, 2009.</ref>
