  • This is the exact spot where Cat.5 Hurricane Andrew made landfall on 8/24/1992. NOT a fun night.
  • This plant is one of a unique type in which it doesn't use cooling towers, but uses natural convection cooling by having the return circuit pipes exposed to the ocean to provide the cooling actions for the secondary loop.
  • awsome
  • bloody stupid place to put a nuclear power station. Arent' the everglades a unique habitat for animals?
  • The endangered American Crocodile has actually benefitted greatly from the power plant.
