=======
Grid status:
An apparent massive equipment failure at a Florida Power & Light substation
in the Miami area triggered the two nuclear reactors at the company's Turkey
Point to halt. The Fla Nuclear Commission confirmed this. The shut reactors
caused sub grids 4,5, 6, 7 and 8 to drain power from up state and west
state, as the Dade/Broward counties have a high demand. Restoration time
update: between 06:00 and 07:00 PM near to normal operation is expected.
There was indeed a squad off McDill in the air near the coastal plant, but
that's a daily routine. There is NO reason to assume this has anything to do
with the reactor closing.

Contrary to news reports on CNN and AP there were NOT eight nor five
reactors affected. We haven't got that many:) The Crystal River reactor and
St. Lucie twin reactors (fossil and gas) have not been affected, though all
have noticed the drain dip of course.
Operations at Turkey Point is now near back to normal with less than 100,000
customers state wide to be restored. Full completion expected around 07:00
PM this evening.
