HOMESTEAD, Fla., March 12 (UPI) -- Florida Power & Light Co. regularly puts costs savings ahead of safety, a top nuclear plant operator said in resigning from the Florida utility.
The utility denied the charges laid by David Hoffman, who resigned Feb. 26, 2008, after being ordered by FPL executives to put two reactors at the Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Station near Homestead, Fla., back online within 12 hours of an automatic shutdown triggered by a utility worker's blunder.
Hoffman had told the executives putting the reactors back online so soon would be dangerous, considering all the systems that needed to be checked, he wrote in a resignation letter.

Bringing a reactor back online after 10 or 11 hours "is really asking for trouble," University of California, Berkeley, nuclear engineering professor E.C. Morse told the newspaper.
