Part 7 of "Turkey Point Radioactive Waste Harms Residents’ Health" by Tena Gordon (@reformistrevolutionaryrose): According to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC) (2015), an independent government agency, in “Construction and Operation of Turkey Point Nuclear Plant Units 6 & 7: Draft Environmental Impact Statement Reader’s Guide,” Hispanic residents makeup the ethnic group most affected by Turkey Point, as shown by “[o]ver half of the Census Block Groups in the 50-[mile] region [containing] Hispanic populations of interest,” especially migrant agricultural workers who are “potentially vulnerable to environmental air and noise pollution due to their extended presence outdoors” (p. 15). The data from the USNRC also highlights the limitations of U.S. Census Bureau (2015) data, in which Hispanic populations’ concentration around Turkey Point was not examined. Even though Hispanic migrant workers’ prolonged exposure to aerial Strontium-90 increases their likelihood of developing radiation sickness, FPL is not inclined to remedy Turkey Point’s leak. If Homestead and the surrounding cities had a larger non-Hispanic white population, the plant’s leakage would not only be fixed, the plant would likely not have been built there to begin.
