BE MISSED.
Laurie: AND THAT LAST ALBUM A
GOODBYE GIFT.
Calvin: LACK HERE AT HOME THE
SOLUTION TO ONE PROBLEM MAY HAVE
CREATED ANOTHER IN AND AROUND
THE TURKEY POINT NUCLEAR POWER
PLANT.
Laurie: DID ANYBODY CONSIDER
THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF
POLLUTION COMING FROM THE
HEATING CANALS.
Glenna: LAURIE, CALVIN, FOR
ANYONE WHO MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN
TO TURKEY POINT, THE REACTORS 3
AND 4, THOSE ARE THEM RIGHT OVER
THERE, AND IF YOU SWING AROUND
GETTING DARK, MAYBE HARD TO SEE,
BUT THE WATER RIGHT HERE IS PART
OF A HUGE COOLING CANAL SYSTEM
ON THIS PROPERTY, 168 MILES OF
WATERS THAT HANDLE THE
WASTEWATER FROM THOSE REACTIONS.
SO AN ISSUE TODAY, WHAT HAPPENS
WHEN THOSE WATERS GET TOO HOT OR
TOO SALTY AND WHAT HAPPENS WHEN
THE CONTAMINANTS LEAVE THIS
PROPERTY?
IF THESE COOLING CANAL WATERS
REACH 104 DEGREES, TURKEY POINT
HAS TO SHUT DOWN THE NUCLEAR
REACTORS, A MAX TEMPERATURE
IMPOSED TWO HOT DRY SUMMERS AGO.
WE KNOW WHERE IT HAS TO PUMP
THE WATER TO REDUCE THE
SALINITY.
Glenna: AT ISSUE FOR THIS
PANEL OF JUDGES TODAY, DID THE
FIX THAT COOLED TURKEY POINT'S
CANALS AND RID ITS ALGAE BLOOMS,
SALT CONTENT AND POLLUTION
MEMORIAL MOVE THAT ALL INTO THE
PUBLIC WATERS OF BISCAYNE BAY
AND MAYBE MORE DIRE THE GROUND
WATERS FROM WHICH SOUTH FLORIDA
DRINKS.
THE INCREASE IN THE
TEMPERATURE WOULD NOT CAUSE AN
INCREASE SALINITY TO THE POINT
THAT IT WOULD THREATEN NEARBY
AUK QUA WAUGH FIRST.
Glenna: ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS
HAVE 69 AND DATA THAT SHOWS
OTHERWISE.
OPPONENTS CONTEND THE FRESH
WATERS TURKEY POINT PUMPS INTO
ITS CLOSED SYSTEM TO CALL IT AND
CLEAN IT PUSHES THE CONTAMINANTS
INTO THE PUBLIC DOMAIN.
ALL THAT POLLUTION IS NOW
SHOWING UP IN THE NATIONAL PARK,
IN THE SURFACE WATER, AND THEY
HAVE EVEN SHUT DOWN WELL FIELDS
TO THE WEST.
Glenna: TURKEY POINT OPERATOR
FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT ARGUES
THAT POLLUTION AND ASSAULT WART
INTRUSION IS NOT NEW NOR SOLELY
ITS DOING.
IS FP&L AGREEING THAT THERE
IS A PROBLEM.
NO, WHAT WE'RE AGREEING IS ON
IS TO BE SIGN ON BOB PART OF THE
SOLUTION, THAT AS A PART OF OUR
CORPORATIONS ALSO LAND MINING
AND WATER EXCAVATION MAY HAVE
EXACERBATED THE SALTWATER
INTRUSION THAT'S OCCURRING.
Glenna: ACCORDING TO FP&L
THERE IS A PLAN, A SOLUTION IN
PLACE.
FP&L IS PART OF IT.
IT'S IN LIMBO RIGHT NOW WAITING
FOR ALL THE REGULATORY LAYERS OF
AGENCIES TO SIGN OFF POINT
MEANWHILE TODAY AT THE HEARING
THERE WAS NO SPACE FOR PUBLIC
COMMENT BUT THE NRC IS TAKING
COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC, AND IF
YOU WOULD LIKE TO WEIGH IN ON
WRITTEN FORM, WE CAN SHOW YOU
HOW TO DO THAT.
IF YOU GO TO LOCAL10.COM AND
LOOK UP THIS REPORT, ALL THAT
INFORMATION WILL BE RIGHT THERE
FOR YOU TO PARTICIPATE.
