Obsolete Turkey Point Nuclear Plant In Line For A monstrous Hurricane

Update 9/11 (This is such a sad day)

So they both shutdown and one tripped on the way down with bad equipment.  

Maybe a roof leak during the hurricane. 

Winds now 180 mph. Still a long way from Florida.

When will they shutdown?

This is way worst than Andrew!!!

NRC INFORMATION NOTICE 93-53:  EFFECT OF HURRICANE ANDREW ON TURKEY POINT NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION AND LESSONS LEARNED

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing this information notice to alert addressees to the lessons learned from the joint NRC/industry team review of the effect of Hurricane Andrew on Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Station.  It is expected that recipients will review the information for applicability to their facilities and consider actions, as appropriate, to avoid similar problems.  However, suggestions contained in this information notice are not NRC requirements; therefore, no specific action or written response is required. 
Description of Circumstances

Turkey Point, situated on the shores of Biscayne Bay about 40 kilometers  (25 miles) south of Miami, Florida, is the site for four electric generation units.  Units 1 and 2 are fossil fuel fired and Units 3 and 4 are pressurized light water moderated nuclear units that are owned and operated by the Florida Power and Light Company.  The area experiences tropical storms about once every 2 years and hurricane-force winds once every 7 years. 

On August 24, 1992, Category 4 (on a scale of 1 to 5, where 5 is the most severe) Hurricane Andrew hit south Florida and caused extensive onsite and offsite damage at Turkey Point.  An NRC/industry team was organized to review the damage that the hurricane caused the nuclear units and the utility actions to prepare for the storm and recover from it, and to compile lessons that might benefit other nuclear reactor facilities.  Results of the team review are presented in the report, "Effect of Hurricane Andrew on the Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Station from August 20-30, 1992," issued in March 1993. This report was distributed to all power reactor licensees by the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations on June 10, 1993….
