Nuclear plant shutdown causes Florida power outages


(NECN) - A Florida Power & Light spokesman says the widespread power outages affecting Florida started when the company shut down a nuclear reactor south of Miami for safety reasons.

Frank Reddish, Miami-Dade County's emergency management coordinator, said the outages appeared to be concentrated in the southeast, including parts of Miami, and began shortly after 1 p.m.

Officials estimate power should be restored statewide within 10 hours. No injuries have been reported
