How Cozy Are The Nuclear Industry & The NRC?

Let Fukushima be a warning to those that would let the fox guard the henhouse.

San Onofre Unit 2 & 3 Identical

Conclusion

Because the identical failure modes exist in both San Onofre Unit 2 and 3 and because the damage to both Units is especially excessive, when compared to the remainder of the US nuclear power plants, it is Fairewinds’ opinion that both Unit 2 and Unit 3 should remain shut down until extensive modifications or fabrication of replacement generators are completed, and Edison is granted the required 10CFR50.59 amendment to San Onofre Unit 2 and Unit 3 operating licenses.

San Onofre Steam Generators Doomed to Fail

San Onofre is located in an urban area on the coast south of San Clemente with millions of people, in a tsunami hazard zone, above intersecting active earthquake faults and has the worst safety record of all 104 reactors in the U.S. .

Ask your Congressperson to attend San Onofre hearing

Here is a sample letter for people to send their congresspeople for our September Congressional Hearing. It is very important that your congressperson hear from you and others early and often to feel implored to attend!

Dear Congressman/woman,

I am writing to request you to attend a congressional briefing on nuclear power issues that will be taking place this upcoming September 20th on Capitol Hill. This briefing will be held from 2 – 4 pm in the Cannon Building — Room number 121. An excellent group of experts and citizens has been assembled to present compelling, factual information on the ongoing dangers posed at Fukushima in Japan and many safety concerns with our domestic nuclear energy industry.

After the worst nuclear disaster in human history that continues in Fukushima, Japan, a growing movement of grassroots citizens has come together to address the myriad concerns revolving our own aging and decrepit Nuclear fleet of 104 reactors in America. As your constituent I feel that it is your duty to make yourself aware of these issues and to attend and listen to the expert testimony that will be given on September 20th.

As the National Academy of Sciences has concluded. “There is no safe dose of radiation exposure.” A grassroots network of citizen activists has worked diligently to bring together experts from Physicians for Social Responsibility, Beyond Nuclear, the Nuclear Information Resource Services, and more to provide you with the most up to date knowledge on issues from Nuclear Waste to Nuclear Safety.

As your constituent I feel that these issues are of utmost importance and relevance to the future of this country and again request your personal attendance at this briefing.

Sincerely yours

San Onofre Design Flaws & Miscalculations Doom Plant

Design flaws & Miscalculations at San Onofre?  

Removing the "stay cylinder" a "safety device" to pack more tubes in these steam generators & then calling that a design flaw or miscalculation, is like removing the seat belt from your car and wondering why you went thru the window when you hit a tree...

And blaming the tree! 

5 Fundamental, Unrepairable, Fatal flaws at San Onofre

18 steam-generator-specific questions for SCE/NRC

San Onofre Request For Assistance

1. Does Southern California Edison (SCE) have the management integrity to be entrusted with the management of the San Onofre Nuclear Power Plant? 

2. Has the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) been compromised by SCE such that the NRC is no longer the appropriate government decision maker for determining whether the San Onofre Nuclear Power Plant should be allowed to go back into service?


3. Does the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) under Michael R. Peevy have an irreconcilable conflict of intrest given the financial and historical relationship between Peevey and SCE?

4. Should the San Onofre Power Plant be decommissioned?

We are asking any person with information relevant to these four questions to contact our office at (619) 876-5364
