The NRC finally folded and halted the waste movement operations at San Onofre. Edison cannot gamble with our safety anymore because we forced them to stop the loading process. Stay alert because we will be watching their every move at this site from now on.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION MUST ADDRESS PUBLIC CONCERNS OVER "SERIOUS NEAR MISS" AT SAN ONOFRE
Final supporters
ATTENTION WILLIAM MAIER, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Region IV
Signatures on this petition represent concerned citizens that endorse the attached letter to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission from San Clemente City Council. We expect a public hearing by the NRC to review findings from their recent inspection of San Onofre's "serious near miss" before Edison is allowed to proceed moving nuclear waste. We also insist on having a contingency plan in place for the possibility of similar incidents in the future before work resumes. Finally, we expect to have publicly available on-site radiation monitoring at all times. (High radiation readings recently taken near the oldest canisters on site by independent sources are worrisome, calling for an immediate explanation by independent nuclear radiation experts).
THE NRC MUST REQUIRE EDISON TO STOP ALL MOVEMENT OF NUCLEAR WASTE UNTIL THESE REASONABLE REQUESTS HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED!

We just hit 1,000 signatures against the reckless incompetence at San Onofre. William Maier at the NRC can no longer pretend that Edison is doing a good job while we demand answers about these canisters.

The public deserves protection. Continuous (uninterrupted) on-site radiation monitoring is vital to that. And we need the cooling pools and thick casks so we can get rid of these ridiculous 5/8"-thick cans. Only then can the waste legally and safely be moved away from the beach.
Please keep our kids safe! I lived in Pa where the radiation caused countless damage, cancer & suffering. I personally witnessed animals born without eyes and other horrible defects as result. You must have contingencies to care for the surrounding community.
We need the City Councils to pass an ordinance requiring a hot cell on site at SANO to isolate problem canisters and we need an ordinance requiring independent real time radiation information on the internet.
SCE should post a multi-billion dollar bond to prevent ratepayers having to pay for ANY problems related to San Onofre. That would protect our environment and US by making sure that SCE would not cut any corners or profit from any future San Onofre ☢ Waste cleanup!
I support the City of San Clemente's petition to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. SCE has a proven record of mismanagement and dangerous shortcuts. Even without a "near-miss" incident, their behavior warrants extra scrutiny.
We live 25 miles from San Onofre and are concerned with the flaws in the relocation plan.
Crazy that this can happen!

Storing nuclear waste in thin metal sleeves and concrete blocks in the ground extremely near the water table and ocean in probable rising seas in a highly populated area is insane. It needs to be away from the ocean and in an unpopulated area is what needs to happen.
