Thanks for answering a question I had about Long Island Lighting. I was wondering what had happened to this utility.
When I was in the coal business, I remember listing to a Long Island Lighting executive recount the excesses of Mr. Cuomo and his associates. I remember the excuse for scrapping the nuke was the lack of an evacuation plan...

From wiki

In 1983, the Suffolk County Legislature voted that the county could not be safely evacuated in the event of a serious nuclear accident at the plant, and governor of New York, Mario Cuomo, ordered state officials not to approve any LILCO-sponsored evacuation plan.
