A large explosion has rocked the Indian Point nuclear plant in upstate New York, the facility's management reported.
Indian Point Energy Center is a three-unit nuclear power plant station located in Buchanan, New York just south of Peekskill. The plant on the east bank of the Hudson river is located 61km north of New York City.
The company running the plant said the facility was safely shut down and in safe and stable condition after a transformer failure.
Residents in the vicinity of the plant reported the explosion and said they saw a 200m high fire ball over plant.
NBC's Chris Essner said on Twitter that the fire was extinguished. "No injuries and police say there is no ongoing emergency threat."
