Nuclear Regulatory Commission(NRC): Keep Us Safe From San Onofre Nuclear Waste
NRC, tell Edison:
(1) To work with the Department of Energy and the Department of Defense to create a secure interim location—perhaps on a military base or in some other sparsely populated location—for the radioactive waste from San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station(SONGS) and require that they be moved and safely stored there before decommissioning funds are depleted on site restoration activities; and
(2) To hold Southern California Edison responsible for safety and security at SONGS as long as nuclear waste remains there.
Why is this important?
San Onofre is not a safe place to store dangerous spent fuel as it
is situated in a recognized tsunami, earthquake, and firestorm
zone and is vulnerable to climate change and terrorist attack in a densely populated area.
Laguna Beach is within the 20 mile “Dead Zone”. We may escape with our lives, but we will never be able to return to our property.
