we actually did it and the waste is finally getting moved out of there. i am honestly in shock but so thankful that everyone helped keep the pressure on until we won. lets stay alert to make sure they follow through on every part of this plan.

A Petition to Our Elected Federal, State and County Legislators and Regulatory Agnecies:
Protect the Citizens of Southern California
Southern California Edison is planning to bury 1632 tons of highly radioactive nuclear waste that contains 89 times the amount of radiation as was released at Chernobyl, at the San Onofre Beach at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station(SONGS)
SONGS sits next to a known earthquake fault, a tsunami and firestorm zone, next to the I-5 freeway and AMTRAK, just steps from ocean access, in an unprotected airspace extremely vulnerable to nuclear terrorism.
10 million people live within the 50 mile evacuation zone
We, your electorate call on you to Protect Southern California and:
- Expedite the movement of SONGS highly radioactive nuclear spent fuel away from the heavily populated Southern California to an interim location and rescind the California Coastal Commission unlawful permit that would bury 132 tons of radioactive fuel rods on the beach at San Onofre.
- Demand Edison provide continuous SECURITY as long as any lethal radioactive waste remains on site: SONGS must be securely guarded against the growing threat of nuclear terrorism. This means all guard houses and watch towers must be manned at all times, including Sundays and holidays. SONGS must also be placed in a no fly zone as should all American nuclear power plants.
- Demand Edison use the Best Dry Storage containers available with a proven history.
Edison must not be allowed to store the highly radioactive fuel rods in the "experimental" Holtec thin walled stainless steel canisters that have never been used in the SONGS damp marine environment, have no proven track record, no means to support transport, and no means to inspect for radiological leaks.
The people of California deserve the proven technological advanced dry storage containers such as the ones that the Navy successfully uses for immediate disposal or the canisters that survived intact the Fukushima 9.0 earthquake and 47 foot tsunami. These canisters are transportable, remotely monitored for radiation, not subject to corrosion cracking, require minimal maintenance and have been used in Europe for over 40 years.

Really? Bury nuclear waste at the water table and water edge with millions of people in affected the area?? Why would anyone take a gamble it the containers will hold that, with so much at stake?!!!!
It is critical to secure this waste in proven, secure storage casks and move it as possible to secure, long term storage before this southern California area of 20+ million people, and its environment, wildlife, ocean and one of the world's largest economies become a nuclear wasteland.
Please Stop Edison from burying 1632 tons of highly radioactive waste at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station,which is in a known earthquake and tsunami zone, next to the ocean, I-5 freeway,in an unprotected airspace and extremely vulnerable to nuclear terrorism. Move this waste to a totally underpopulated area.
Governor Brown your action is urgently needed. While Edison collected 100 million dollars last year from the DOE for partial breach of contract for not removing the waste nothing has been done to force the removal of the nuclear waste by the State of CA.? Overturn the Coastal a Commission approval of the 5/8" thin canisters used to bury the waste on the bluff of the ocean.
The economic benefit or cost of nuclear power depends upon how one measures cost. The externalized cost is the remediation of nuclear waste paid for by unborn generations.
We must stop this horribly faulty storage policy
Hope i helped

We deserve the best and most tested and trusted casks. We deserve casks that can be monitored and transported. We deserve the best possible security.
