Florida Shutdown

I'm not a big fan of nuclear power, and these kind of stories add to my dislike of them. Not to say that it wouldn't have happened in another type of plant, but it goes without saying that few people are afraid of a solar plant explosion.

MIAMI (AP) -- Florida's largest utility shut down a nuclear reactor south of Miami Tuesday, causing sporadic power outages affecting more than 3 million people across the southern end of the state.

Authorities did not specify the cause of the shutdown but say there were no safety concerns.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission says the two Florida Power & Light nuclear reactors at its Turkey Point plant 30 miles south of Miami automatically shut down.
