| No Nuke Dump At San Onofre #SaveTrestles |
It’s a beautiful day in San Clemente, California, and you are here, discovering treasure, never mind the 3,600,000 lbs of high grade nuclear waste a few miles south. So Cal Edison would like to bury it in the sand, a few feet from the ocean in thin steal canisters that can crack thru in our lifetime. They will tell you they have no way to test for these cracks, or even have a way to fix them. If something were to go wrong there real time radiation monitoring of the nuclear dump at San Onofre is not avalable to you. With Edisions past track record of first denying and then admitting there was a radiation release beg for more transparency? With radiation you can’t see it, you can’t smell it and we may never know, wink, if it affects its neighbors, read you and me, thanks to the Nuclear Regulatory Commision cancelling the cancer study.
Traffic along the I-5 has been a nightmare with the widening of the freeway, and since La Pata, the only other potential way out of town, is not completed, someone thought it would be a good idea to have the Outlet at San Clemente Grand Opening Ribbon Cutting Ceremony today at 10:30!
Now the good news, the nuke dump is in the planning stages, if you live in California you want to support candidates that will fight the notion that a nuke dump at Trestles is somehow a good idea. If they think that this is not a problem they need to be replaced before that sign is set in stone.

The most common wind direction for most of the year was North (Orange County) except in the spring (April-June) when it was to the south (San Diego County).
In 2012, there were 29 incidents of effluent monitoring instruments being out of service for more than 30 days. In 2013 there were 22 such incidents.
It is interesting to examine NRC documents on batch releases after the reactors were shut down (Jan., 2012) compared to when they were in full operation. There were 3 batch releases of gaseous effluents in when Units 2 and 3 were in operation in 2011 (total 44.2 hours). In 2012 (after it was shut down) there were 6 such releases totaling 43.1 hours.
Liquid radioactive batch releases in 2011 totaled 518 hours at 740,000 gal per minute. In 2012 after operation ceased, releases went on for 335 hours at 612,000 gal per minute.
The NRC claims that it cannot afford the $8 million to carry out the cancer study proposed by the National Academy of Sciences. For 2016, the NRC has requested $1.032 billion of which 90% will be paid for by the nuclear industry it is supposed to be regulating. The NRC spends $25 million/year on travel expenses. In 2015, the nuclear industry gave the NRC $43 million for “outreach” and “policy support.”
