“Human activities will not be permitted,” Vitug was quoted as saying, according to Linseed’s environmental impact statement . Silang called for “legal instruments” that would require the power firm to pay P5 million to the family of any fatality and P1 million to any person injured by their structures.
There have been several reported incidents of divers being sucked into power plants’ pipes. Among them are separate incidents in 1989 and 2015 when two men were sucked into a nuclear plant’s intake pipe in Florida, USA. They both came out alive in the plant’s cooling system canal.
