Govt Allows Power Company to Dump Radioactive Waste Directly Under Drinking Water Aquifer
By: John Vibes, The Free Thought Project |
Miami, FL — South Florida residents may have a serious problem on their hands if the city of Miami goes through with their plans of storing radioactive waste directly under their drinking water. This decision has been made in spite of the fact that numerous studies have warned that there is a danger that this waste could contaminate the drinking water supply.
Florida Power & Light, the local utility monopoly, is planning on building two large nuclear reactors and will be using the aquifer to store their waste.
A 2015 study by the US Geological Survey of seismic reflection stated there are faults along the aquifer that “…could provide high permeability passageways for groundwater movement.” Also, Limestone is known for being porous, as demonstrated in numerous other studies.
Citizens Allied for Safe Energy (CASE) has organized to attempt to stop the plan, but their petition was shot down without review.
“This was thrown out on procedural grounds. The science is still there,” CASE’s president, Barry J. White told The Miami New Times
The group was told they filed their petition too late, despite the fact that they had solid evidence of the dangers that this project cold pose.
“Everything will be put into a supposedly ‘hermetically sealed’ Boulder Zone. But anybody who lives in South Florida knows nothing below us is hermetically sealed,” White said.
An FPL spokesperson responded to the claims by denying that the project is a safety risk.
“After an exhaustive and comprehensive review of the proposed Turkey Point Units 6 & 7 project, including the plans to safely use reclaimed water for cooling, the independent Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s staff concluded ‘…there are no environmental impacts to preclude issuing Combined Licenses to build and operate two reactors next to the existing Turkey Point nuclear power plant,” a statement from the company read.
However, White along with other activists and environmentalists say that there is extensive evidence showing the risks.
“The evidence is so strong that it’s doubtful the zone is ‘hermetically sealed,” White said.
To make matters worse, recent studies by the U.S. Geological Survey of seismic-reflection profiles acquired in onshore canals and offshore in Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic continental shelf have indicated the presence of tectonic faults, which means that this region could face an earthquake or other similar disruption that could break down the barriers between the clean water and the waste.
