Looking for some light reading on a Friday? Check out the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's fifteen page order reversing its earlier decision allowing FPL to operate the nuclear reactors at Turkey Point until 2052 and 2053 respectively. There's even a dissent! In short, the Commission said that the Commission's staff didn't conduct a sufficient environmental analysis before extending the licenses. The Herald covers the "unusual move" here. The Commission said appeals from advocacy groups, including the Miami Waterkeeper, prompted its order. So, at least for now, Turkey Point's "lease" expires in 2032/2033.
Could be that this news is overshadowed by President Biden's historic pick for the Supreme Court. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteSome good news -- along with the nomination -- on an otherwise bleak Friday.
ReplyDeleteGreat, lets follow Germany’s example and decommission perfectly good nuclear reactors in exchange for gas/oil.
