Support state legislation to move nuclear waste at San Onofre to higher ground
We support urgent legislation that will allow the State of California to establish a plan to handle nuclear waste in a manner that is much safer to store within our state until there is a permanent solution. Currently, no adequate plan exists for handling a damaged nuclear waste canister, or to safely deal with any number of emergency situations that may occur, be it earthquake, sea level rise, canister degradation or simply human error.
The nuclear power plant being decommissioned at San Onofre needs a viable, long term plan that will inform how California and the rest of the country can greatly improve on the industry's plan that primarily puts profits first and leaves safety to chance. At the San Onofre nuclear power plant, where the canisters are precariously placed near the water's edge with rising sea levels, the State of California must act with a sense of urgency to help ensure the protection of its residents and treasured resources. See relevant information provided below.

The urgency for intervention for a viable plan for the nuclear waste at San Onofre and its safe storage cannot be underestimated. The oean and entire communities could conceivably be closed for decades should there be an earthquake, with of without an tsunami, or a tremendously active storm, which would release radioactive waste. Please ACT!
The stakes are too high to ignore or defer action on the spent nuclear waste at San Onofre. Look at crumbling cliffs and shorelines to the north and south. Please take action swiftly to remove this threat to the public and the environment.
As a long time resident of this area, I have personally seen the tidal differences over the last few years. We can't take the risk, move the stored nuclear waste now!
Sea level rise is happening faster than expected. The Dept of Energy needs to take action now. Be active and not reactive, after disaster strikes! Move the waste away from the surf until a permanent home can be found.
The nuclear industry is making decisions based on "commercially reasonable solutions". It is time for us to take control of how our decommissioning funds are being spent. The best solution may not be profitable, but it sure would be a wise investment!
Thank you for all your hard work.
Otis most important to remove nuclear waste storage away from the coastline! So much can be destroyed for such a long time so quickly should there be a release.

Please remove the 1,800 TONS of toxic radioactive spent fuel nuclear waste that was "DUMPED" 100 feet from the Pacific Ocean between two major population centers in thin wall steel canisters that are only rated for a 40 year life at San Onofre, CA. Be Responsible, Clean Up Your Waste!!!!!
