MIAMI — A small hole was found in a pipe at the Turkey Point Nuclear Power Plant, and now officials are trying to determine if the hole was drilled accidentally or deliberately.”

Wonder what ever happened with this investigation back in 2006?

A spokeswoman for FPL Group Inc, the main energy provider in south Florida, said the company’s Turkey Point nuclear reactor in Florida shut down due to the loss of off-site power but would not elaborate on the cause of the outage. Other power companies were also affected.

“I don’t know the cause of the outage,” Stone told Reuters, saying authorities were awaiting an update from FPL. “There was a failure within the FPL system,” he said.

Officials in Washington said there were no signs of a link to terrorism.

“There is no indication of a nexus to terrorism at this time ... we will continue to monitor,” U.S. Homeland Security Department spokeswoman Laura Keehner said.

Okaaaaay.

Well, I just spoke to Mr. Mew. Considering we're talking about FL, he was all ready to blame gators. Hmmmm, then again, who knows.
