MIAMI (AP) — Florida’s largest electric company shut down a nuclear reactor south of Miami for mechanical reasons Tuesday, causing sporadic power outages covering large portions of the state that could last well into the night. More than 3 million people are affected, the state says.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission said that the two Florida Power & Light nuclear reactors at its Turkey Point power point 30 miles south of Miami automatically shut down. Two other power plants farther north, the Crystal River reactor and St. Lucie twin reactors, in the state continued to operate, although officials at those two facilities noticed the grid disturbance.
It is very suspicious especially after the WSVN chopper
reporter said he flew over the Turkey Point Reactor
2 days ago and noticed suspicious smoke from one of the
buildings.
It might be helpful, since you are a reporter yourself, to
contact WSVN and find out exactly what the chopper pilot actually saw. I have no idea what his name is.
