FLORIDA CITY, Fla. (AP) -- Officials inspecting a South Florida nuclear reactor found a small hole drilled into a pipe that helps maintain pressure, and investigators were trying to determine why it was there, Florida Power & Light said Saturday.
The 1/8-inch hole was discovered late Thursday during a series of inspections and tests performed before bringing the reactor back online, the utility said.
The plant was in no danger, FPL spokeswoman Rachel Scott said.
The reactor, one of two at the Turkey Point plant in Miami-Dade County, had been shut down for a routine refueling, she said.
FPL, the state's largest electric utility, repaired the damaged piping and, though the company's investigation continues, plans to bring the unit back into service in about a week, she said.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission and FBI are also investigating
Yea, I know about this but can't speak about it. That's the plant my husband words at.
