PUBLIC SUBMISSION Docket: NRC-2018-0101 Turkey Point Nuclear Plant Units 3 and 4 Comment On: NRC-2018-0101-0001 Florida Power & Light Company; Turkey Point Nuclear Plant Units 3 and 4 Document:

NRC-2018-0101-DRAFT-0015 Comment on FR Doc# 2018-10806 Name: John Kocol Address: 100 List St. Islamorada, FL, 33036 Submitter Information General Comment As of: 6/15/18 10:56 AM Received:

June 14, 2018 Status: Pending_Post Tracking No. lk2-93pp-dzt8 Comments Due: June 21, 2018 Submission Type: Web As a citizen of Monroe County, FL I am opposed to allowing FPL to install addition reactors at Turkey Point for the following reasons: 1. The existing plant uses cooling ponds instead of towers. These ponds are leaching hyper-saline solutions into the ground water, risking a contamination of the Biscayne Aquifer. All of Monroe County is dependent on the Biscayne Aquifer for water. We already have industrial contaminants in our ground water. Lets not make it worse. 2. There are 6 million people living near the power plant, located on the Atlantic Ocean shoreline in an area that has a high probability of exposure to hurricanes.

Fukushima, Japan is a constant reminder of how unpredictable disasters can devastate a local area and economy. According to the Federal Reserve, the GDP of Miami/Ft.

Lauderdale area economy is $328 Billion per year. 3. FP&L has alternatives to adding to its nuclear generation capabilities.

They love to advertise their solar projects in the media. Why take the risk when other cost effective and environmentally friendly options are available?
