Item Description
See how nuclear power is produced. Get your questions about nuclear energy answered by the experts. Private tour for up to 4 people of the St. Lucie Nuclear Power Plant located on Hutchinson Island about 8 miles southeast of Fort Pierce. The plant is operated by Florida Power and Light and consists of two nuclear power units--one unit began operation in 1976, the other in 1983. The plant generates about 1,700 million watts of electricity -- enough power to supply the annual needs of more than 500,000 homes.
Three-fourths of the St. Lucie Plant property remain in its natural state of
- mangroves
- beaches and
- swamps.
There are about 180 species of birds and animals that inhabit the St. Lucie Plant property in our wildlife preserve. Of these, 36 are endangered or threatened.
Sea turtles return annually to nest on isolated plant beaches. We are committed to
- protecting sea turtles and assisting research institutions in data collection
- providing nesting surveys since 1971 on 21 miles of adjacent beach property, and
- conducting turtle walks for the public during the summer to observe nesting sea turtles.
Turtle walks have been held since 1989 to increase awareness of sea turtle conservation issues. More than 1,000 people attend these events annually.
At E4 Online see a preview presentation of Nuclear Power: Safe for the Environment, a video at FPL’s Energy Encounter.
