| **Watcher** User ID: 71616222 United States10/06/2016 04:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I always marvel at where they decided to build these nuclear power plants. If they don't have them sitting directly on top of a major seismic fault line, they put them right on the shoreline with no land protection from violent storms. I bet these same planners would think it was a good idea to build an ammunition factory right over the vent of an active volcano, for pete's sake!

Can you guys say a prayer for my daughter and her new husband, dawn and d.j.? They are not evacuating, and in port saint lucie, I'm very concerned. Thanks, I love u guys. Hey I'm from there, and as long as they aren't within a few hundred feet of the coast they will be fine. They may get some damage but the ones who die in these storms are the ones who live within a stone throw of the waterline, are told to evacuate, and don't. Now, I make no guarantees that they will enjoy the days without power (and ice and gas and god knows what else) that follow.... |

| Relativity User ID: 69703057 United States10/06/2016 05:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | . Quoting: Anonymous Coward 13432666 " Two nuclear power plants exist on Florida's eastern coast: the St. Lucie and Turkey Point facilities. Based on the current National Hurricane Center projections, it appears that Hurricane Matthew will come closest to the St. Lucie nuclear facility early Friday morning. Storm surge near the St. Lucie nuclear reactors may reach 2-5 feet, and with hurricane force winds of 130 miles per hour. Meanwhile, a significant water quality problem in the Southeast is the ongoing pollution at Florida Power and Light's (FPL) Turkey Point cooling canal system. It's unclear what effects high winds and storm surge could have on Turkey Point’s open air industrial sewer. After flooding caused a nuclear meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactor in Japan, the Miami News Times published an article, "Five reasons Turkey Point could be the next nuclear disaster." The article noted: "Just like in Japan, Turkey Point is susceptible to a meltdown caused by a natural disaster. A hurricane-spurred tidal surge from Turkey Point's neighboring Biscayne Bay could create catastrophic conditions identical to those in Japan. With power down, the plant would be forced to rely on emergency diesel generators to pump water to cool the reactors….those generators would ‘certainly’ become inundated with water from the tidal surge, causing them to drown and fail.' " [link to blog.cleanenergy.org] " Five reasons Turkey Point could be the next nuclear disaster " [link to www.miaminewtimes.com] .  “In finding balance between lies and trust there will never be a better source than to speak your truth or make your peace some other way.” ~Sully Erna Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment.

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 31908447 United States10/06/2016 06:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Of course they will shut them down. Any idea how long you need to keep feeding cooling water to the reactor after it has been shutdown? What if you are not able to keep cooling the reactor by either the pumps have no power (I know backup generators), the backup generators are flooded by tidal surge, the pumps are destroyed due to tidal surge (Ever try running a 4,100VAC motor under water?), or no cooling water because the inlet is block by debris. I don't see any problems here, move along. |
