two nuclear power plants shut down at turkey point [about 30miles south of miami]. traffic was le suck, and the hospital was on generators for awhile, but most everything's back to normal.

quote:

Two of Florida's five nuclear reactors were shutdown as a result of the outage. Here is a statement from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission: quote: At approximately 1:09 p.m. today, Turkey Point's two nuclear reactors (units 3 and 4) automatically shut down from 100% power in response to an "undervoltage" caused when two power distribution lines between Miami and Daytona went down following an equipment malfunction in a substation near Miami. The automatic trip of the reactors is a safety measure to protect plant equipment from abnormal power line voltages. The reactors are likely to be shut down for 12 to 24 hours, as part of a regular re-start protocol, with offsite power sources remaining available. Emergency diesel generators were not necessary.

Worse part of it all it is this. The Winter music conference is next month so if power out still during that time some of use won't be able to have fun.
