For example, many nuclear-power plants located along the British coast are just a few meters above sea level. In 1992, Hurricane Andrew caused significant damage at the Turkey Point nuclear-power plant on Biscayne Bay, Florida, but, fortunately, not to any critical systems.
英国许多沿海核电站的选址位置仅仅高于海平面几米。而在1992年，台风安德鲁对位于美国佛罗里达州比斯坎湾的土尔其角核电站造成了重大破坏，所幸各关键设施都安然无恙。
