Breaking: TURKEY POINT NUCLEAR PLANT IS PUMPING POLLUTED WATER INTO BISCAYNE BAY

Health Nut News wrote about this 2 years ago and were even mentioned by some bigger health sources, for bringing up a subject few wanted to discuss.

(Most available update 12 p.m.: FPL responded to the study, saying it needs more time to review the specific data but defending its efforts to protect Biscayne Bay. “Our top priority is the health and safety of the public, and there is no threat to the health and safety of the public,” says Bianca Cruz, an FPL spokeswoman, reports Miami New Times.)
When Florida Power & Light finalized plans to expand nuclear reactors at Turkey Point three years ago, critics like us weren’t happy(we wrote about this in 2014!). The nuclear plant, which is currently on environmentally fragile land, would threaten the ecosystem if production increased.
Sadly, we were right; Tuesday morning, the county released the results of a study they did on whether Turkey Point has been leaking wastewater into Biscayne Bay(I know I don’t have to tell you how dangerous this is). County water monitors found levels of tritium (a radioactive isotope) at more than 200 times the normal level, in the bay water. This is another blow for Florida Power & Light who recently lost a state court ruling (last month) when a judge found they had failed to prevent hundreds of thousands of gallons of wastewater from seeping into the bay.
From the Miami New Times article:

“‘This is one of several things we were very worried about,’ says South Miami Mayor Philip Stoddard, who is also a biological sciences professor at Florida International University. ‘You would have to work hard to find a worse place to put a nuclear plant, right between two national parks and subject to hurricanes and storm surge.’”
