Is that where the Cuban Gentlemen sleep all day?
Turkey Point has been around a long time. We used to shrimp nearby as the shrimp would huddle up to the screens on the valves for warmth.
“It is HIGHLY unlikely that Tritium is showing up in any measurable quantity unless there is a breach in the primary coolant.”
Turkey Point Unit 3 legally releases about 10x10^12 picoCuries of Tritium each year.
I saw your posting on Boron activation.
I learned something new today.
Thanks!
I take it you did some further research as my short post was lacking on detail.
My sister in law worked for a nuke plant down in South Texas. I remember a gathering they had invited us to, a company picnic. They had catch and release fishing. Hmmmm. Peaked my curiosity.

Nuclear energy is a hobby of mine.
to me, the physics is the interesting part.
Sometimes the physics miss key points in real life implementation.
“Nuclear energy is a hobby of mine.”
Nuclear energy or the STUDY of nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy study.
My latest interest is in neutron decay.
