Fire put out at Florida nuke plant

This is always scary.

A fire at the Turkey Point power plant was extinguished Monday with no damage to the plant's two nuclear units, according to Florida Power and Light.

No injuries were reported, officials at Miami-Dade County Fire Rescue said. The plant's sprinkler system put out the fire.

The blaze started about 3:15 a.m. in a transformer in the plant's number four unit, an area that was not near the nuclear facilities, FPL spokesman Bill Swank said.
