9:15Now PlayingA nuclear plant in Florida may soon be pumping radioactive waste in an area that can affect drinking water. Cenk Uygur and John Iadarola, the hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“The Turkey Point nuclear plant sits on the southern edge of Miami-Dade, but that doesn't mean it's the only county affected by the Florida Power and Light plant. Last year, Miami-Dade officials sanctioned FPL and warned that the canals used to cool the plant's wastewater were leaking into Biscayne Bay. Radioactive materials were found in the water, albeit at levels most scientists say are safe for humans.
But that leakage — which also impacts local ecosystems — could also drift down to the Florida Keys. And so yesterday, the Monroe County Commission passed a resolution urging FPL to stop using the canals for good.
Citing concern "about these recent discoveries and potential impacts on Card Sound, Biscayne Bay, and the Florida Keys’ drinking water supply," the resolution says, the county wants FPL to "discontinue the use of the cooling canal system in favor of a more modern mechanical draft cooling tower system."
The Monroe County Commission passed the resolution during its regular meeting yesterday. An FPL spokesperson could not be reached late last evening for comment.”
