Tell California Coastal Commission: Re-evaluate sea level rise now, not 2035

Metal canisters containing deadly elements stored in close proximity to a corrosive marine environment is a disaster waiting to happen. The canisters must be moved away from the ocean before the metal corrodes.

Levels have already risen to a dangerous level. CCC must protect the coast and coastal residents!

We can't possibly wait til 2035 to re-evaluate sea level rise ! Recent photos of King Tides provide evidence that seawall height is totally insufficient to provide the necessary flood protection. Photos also prove the SCE 'band-aid" caulk repairs of seawall surfaces are quickly degraded, and are insufficient as a realistic contingency plan. It doesn't measure up to the safety level mandated by law, or SCE assurances. It;s a joke, or more like a scandal, and is alerady a foreseeable hazard and imminent threat.

Relocate the spent fuel cells now.

We can't wait any longer to deal with this existential threat at San Onofre. Act now!

What's your backup plan for failing containment? Given the documented issues with Holtec's already compromised thin-wall canisters... prudence dictates keeping options open until much improved containment is achieved... off the beach.

I talked to people in Braidwood IL and learned of lots of dangers of radiation from nuclear plants and waste. This plan is a death sentence for people if something goes wrong. It is your job to protect people

Clean up this radioactive nuclear mess.

Please maintain total safety! Deny Edison's Application #9-19-0194.

DENY Application No. 9-19-0194. Tell SDG&E to build a proper storage bunker east of I-5 onto Pendalton Federal land accessible by tunnel under I-5 using Thick Wall casks that can be transported on a rail system at a level much higher than sea level. Think about it its feasible.

Please DENY Application No. 9-19-0194 for the onshore portion of decommissioning of Units 2 and 3 at San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station. In light of serious, documented defects with its dry storage system, Southern California Edison must not be granted a permit to destroy its spent fuel pool until its dry storage containers can meet requirements for the waste to eventually be transported away from the facility. Otherwise, a "Hot Cell" must be constructed on site for the same purpose. Stranding the nuclear waste on the coast would be a direct violation of the terms upon which the Coastal Commission approved the plans for the interim dry storage facility in 2015.

Do not allow the spent fuel pools to be destroyed! We need a safe permanent solution for the nuclear fuel at SONGS.

The cost of not taking preventative ad corrective action is too high. Do what is right now.

Please show us that you have not been paid off by Edison and ir Holtec and that you will do the right thing and protect our coast.

Please help save Southern California from this waste plan gone wrong.

It is imperative that the CA Coastal Commission protect the health and safety of the public by keeping the spent fuel pools intact until a hot cell is built on-site that can handle repairs, leaking canisters or unforseen radiological emergencies. The spent fuels pools remain the only viable option to cool the waste in the event of such emergencies or incidents. San Onofre has a well-documented history of mishaps and safety violations and now is the time to right this record, firstly, by firmly denying SCE the permit to demolish the spent fuel pools which could be putting the entire region at grave, potential risk.

Please aim toward safely moving the canisters away from the fragile ocean and dense populations before destroying the pools. How about a night helicopter ride with each container to the extreme wilderness location?

The cooling pools need to be maintained until the fuel rods can be locate in permanent storage. It is the safest storage if a cask should be compromised.
