Dear Governor
Brown,
We are looking
for your support to keep California’s two nuclear power plants SHUTDOWN FOR
GOOD. Here are just a few reasons why:
1.
SAFETY FOR
CITIZENS BEFORE PROFITS FOR POWER COMPANIES.
2.
The problem
with the steam generators at San Onofre were caused by Southern California
Edison’s upgrades (NOT LIKE FOR LIKE) with the increase of 400 tubes to
increase profits, which in turn has put over 8.4 million people at a much
greater risk of a NUCLEAR DISASTER in the 50 mile radius. This will severely damage the world’s eighth
largest economy, California.
3.
These two
plants could not be built under today’s rules and guidelines for earthquakes and
tsunamis, and the NRC will not force the power companies to meet the standards
of today; yet they will overlook and easily relicense them.
4.
Evacuation
plans are totally ineffective if a nuclear disaster occurs in conjunction with
a severe earthquake.
5.
This
week California's people and the
state's vibrant economy were
fortunate enough to live in
a state with not one operating nuclear reactor. Both San Onofre and Diablo
Canyon were shut down. The lights
stayed on. Together with energy
efficiency and an almost unlimited renewable energy potential in
California, the State can become a world leader in energy for the 21st
century; while at the same time achieving the essential reduction in carbon
emissions. California will fail
to meet this truly
sustainable future while it continues to operate nuclear power. This week
because of the nuclear crisis at San Onofre and the intervention of jellyfish
at Diablo Canyon, California saw the future; and it is a future we demand. KEEP CALIFORNIA’S
NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS CLOSED.
