The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, which regulates commercial nuclear power plants, has levied a $150,000 civil penalty against Florida Power & Light for three violations stemming from two separate incidences in 2019 of staff falsifying records and concealing work errors at the Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Station in Homestead.
The independent agency concluded that the violations did not cause any threats to public safety, but that the potential consequences of the three violations were significant and concerning to the NRC, according to a released statement.
All three violations involved deliberate misconduct involving integrity issues on the part of multiple individuals, according to the statement.
