@Fairewinds disagrees with a recent New York Times Opinion that claims that #Fukushima was caused because Japanese regulators did not properly oversee Tokyo Electric. Fairewinds shows that in the United States, the same cozy relationship exists between the NRC and the nuclear industry. Proper regulation of nuclear power has been coopted worldwide by industry refusal to implement the cost to assure nuclear safety.
Facts that might inspire you to take a closer look and adjust your busy schedule in order to make it to these important meetings.
•Did you know … SONGS has ten times more safety violations than the industry norm; just one of the many factors making it the second most dangerous nuclear power plant out of all 104 in the U.S.A?
•Did you know … employees are being retaliated against for reporting safety concerns to management?
•Did you know … SONGS was designed for a 7.0 quake, but is on a fault capable of an 8.0 (10 x more powerful)?
•Did you know …SONGS intended lifespan ends in 2013, but was extended to 2022 and hopes to go until 2042?
•Did you know … the “30’ tsunami wall” often claimed by the industry is only 14’ above high tide?
•Did you know … over 4,000 tons of highly radioactive waste is stored on-site in "temporary" storage, accumulating at a rate of 500 pounds per day?
•Did you know … 8.4 million people living in a fifty mile radius would need to evacuate if there is a meltdown?
•Did you know … you are expected to “shelter in place” on your own for at least 3 days if you can't evacuate?
•Did you know … your property or possessions can’t be insured against radiation exposure?
•Did you know … for all the inherent risk, Californians get less than 7% of our power from SONGS, which could be replaced with energy efficiency and simple conservation measures right now?
