FBI probes nuclear reactor hole

[RawMaterials]

A Florida energy company has called in the FBI and offered a $100,000 reward to try and find out who drilled a hole in one of its nuclear power stations.

Workers at Florida Power and Light found the small hole when doing pre-start up tests on a reactor at the Turkey Point Unit Three power plant.

It had been drilled - inadvertently or deliberately - into a cooling system pipe for one of its nuclear reactors.

Florida Power has now repaired the damage and plans to restart the unit.


A Florida Power spokeswoman said that the company thought the hole was produced intentionally, but didn't know if it was a case of human error or a deliberate act of sabotage.

The reactor had been shut down for routine maintenance, but many of the contractors hired to work on the plant have since left the site and might not know about the problem.

"This way they will certainly hear about it," the spokeswoman told Reuters.

1. Translation: FP&L has no security

Terrorists are welcome here! Attack at will. FP&L will call the FBI after the fact.
Jeebus.Glad I don't live near that nuke plant.

2. Or a set up explanation

for the next terror attack

3. turkey point three thankfully

Gobble atomic waste,
excrete expectorate effigy,
drill deep for aa taste,
endemic empirical energy.
Death potential laced,
a turkey's feather's, three,
another typical face,
nuclear age, culturally free.

Holy soul's deepest hole,
consume the nuclear wastefully,
cancerous death's deepest toll,
explosive eloquent empathy.
Plutonium reaction,
tantric attraction.

4. at least they're SURE it was just that ONE hole in that ONE reactor

I'm feeling very confident now.

5. Considering the ammount of supervision they have

When they say there was that one hole, they mean there was just that one hole. Holes in zero leakage systems like these are very easily noticable considering the fluid pressures that they are under, which is why they conduct the pre-startup tests in the first place.
