let's use common sense

ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MINDS? This is an insane, avoidable risk. Think ahead! Use canisters that can be inspected, repaired, maintained, monitored and transported without cracks.

Do not bury nuclear waste!!

Please do not store nuclear waste at San Onofre. If nuclear technology cannot figure out how to deal with waste, they should not create it in the first place. The storage canisters being used at San Onofre cannot be inspected, repaired, maintained, monitored, or transported without cracks. This is unacceptable. We will all pay the cost if these flawed canisters are used.

please do not attire nuclear waste at San Onofre Beach. This is extremely dangerous due to risk of earthquake and the proximity to a densely populated community (San Clemente & Orange County).

Waste storage should be addressed properly. Reasonable and safe requirements are imperative.

Why must San Onofre's owners continuously put profits before human health? I know it might seem off topic, but I feel compelled to point out another example of profits over safety which happened before the shut down: Read the highlighted parts of these two articles and it will be clear: atomicinsights.com/san-onofre-steam-generators-honest-error-driven-by-search-for-perfection/ If Unit 3 had remained in operation, other tubes in the same area of the steam generator would have likely failed. The same problem does not exist in Unit 2. https://www.google.com/amp/www.ocregister.com/2013/09/24/nrc-blames-mitsubishi-for-san-onofre-failure/amp/ The NRC said the error in Mitsubishi’s model had a long history. Mitsubishi originally had developed the computer code in 1978 for one kind of steam generator, then modified it in 1992 for another. But the 1992 modification, used for San Onofre and four other nuclear plants, contained a flaw, according to the NRC notice to Mitsubishi. However, of the five plants whose generators were designed using the model, only San Onofre failed. If the design flaw in Unit 3 was not in Unit 2, that means Unit 2's steam generators were from before 1992 and therefore NOT NEW when they were SUPPOSEDLY replaced in 2009. And then Unit 3's were so crappy that they could not even make it a couple of years. That is why the wear in the tubes of Unit 2 was so " unprecedented" and, apparently, the Kobe Steel plates of Unit 3 which went between the tubes came loose during testing and the copper alloy in the tubes was substandard grade as well. So, they have no problem using cracked steam generators with poor quality Kobe Steel and copper alloys. How are we to trust that these canisters will be of decent quality given the facts that San Onofre has a long and sordid history of doing things on the cheap? How can we trust that they did not pick up these waste canisters at the nuclear flea market? These are probably unsafe for transport

DO NOT BURY RADIOACTIVE WASTE IN INCOMPETENT CANNISTERS!!!!!

This mishandling of the public trust is horrendous, and it affects not only the South Bay area and all of Southern California; it affects the whole planet!

No, this is dangerous to our ecosystem. Our oceans are sacred...

Don't increase the risk of nuclear waste polluting our ocean -- slowly and unseen for decades. Minimize it.

Buy San Onofre get the property out of the hands of the government! They are stalling Buy San Onofre it worked for Laguna Canyon!

The long term aspects of storage make no sense. WE need to move this from the coast.
