San Onofre, the risks live on
Our Coalition to Decommission San Onofre can now proudly announce
that nationally-regarded nuclear experts Dr. Marvin Resnikoff
and Dr. Arjun Makhijani have
confirmed they will be joining us for the October 19 symposium at
the Center for Spiritual Living Capistrano Valley, 1201 Puerta Del
Sol, Suite 100, San Clemente, California 92673.Registration
will start at 12 noon and the program will begin at 12:30 PM.
We have been startled by the magnitude of the radioactive nuclear
waste management challenge, which involves unusually potent forms of fuel,
dense storage of spent fuel far beyond design limits, and huge uncertainties
about where the fuel will ultimately be stored and for how long. These issues
were below the radar during the shutdown debate but now they loom large.
The symposium will help concerned residents inform ourselves and
get active to be sure the outcome is the fairest and best possible for those
who continue to live with the presence of San Onofre as a nuclear waste storage
site. Come and get briefed on the crucial issues, share your thoughts with
other concerned residents, and join us as we organize to help shape the
decisions that lie ahead.
We are working diligently on fundraising outreach for necessary
costs of the event, and we will put out a notice related to this as soon as
possible.
Our coalition member groups include: Peace Resource Center of San
Diego, Citizens Oversight Project, Sierra Club Angeles Chapter, Women Occupy
San Diego, San Clemente Green, San Onofre Safety, and Residents Organized for a
Safe Environment (ROSE). For more info contact one of these groups or Gene Stone at genston@sbcglobal.net.
