"As Sea Levels Rise, Are Coastal Nuclear Plants Ready?" [1]

"Just east of the Homestead-Miami Speedway, off Florida's Biscayne Bay, two nuclear reactors churn out enough electricity to power nearly a million homes. The Turkey Point plant is licensed to continue doing so until at least 2032.

So could at least 13 other U.S. nuclear plants, as the world’s seas continue to rise."
