NRC MAY ALLOW FPL TO DUMP MILLIONS OF GALLONS OF
TAINTED RECLAIMED WATER JUST BELOW FLORIDAS
DRINKING WATER TABLE FOR THE NEXT 60-YEARS
On June 30, 2009, Florida Power and Light Company (FPL) filed an
application with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to build twomore nuclear power plants near the existing Turkey Point Nuclear Plant site.FPL states in its application documents that it intends to dump millions of
gallons of tainted reclaimed water just below Floridas drinking water table inan area extending from the southern tip of Florida to north of Stuart, Florida.
Saporito Energy Consultants, Inc. (SEC) through its president, Thomas
Saporito intend to oppose FPLs construction of these two nuclear powerplants in a legal proceeding before the NRCs Atomic Safety and Licensing
Board (ASLB) which has authority to deny FPLs application. These twoadditional nuclear power plants will have an adverse effect on the fragile
ecological environment and could permanently contaminate Floridasdrinking water table.If there is a nuclear accident, million of gallons of
highly radioactive water could permanently contaminate ourdrinking water.Saporito said.
FPLs customer base has decreased by approximately 5,000 customers
recently due to the down-turn in the U.S. economy. FPL should provide itscustomers with a lease-to-own solar/wind renewable energy system for theirhomes and businesses. Such a program would significantly decrease FPLs
base load demand on its electric grid and diminish any need for construction
