Dear Chairman Jackzo:
I share the same safety and equipment concerns raised by Senator Barbara Boxer in her letter to you on February 8, 2012 regarding San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS).
While SONGS is not located in my State Assembly district, the impacts to the City of San Diego and the region compel me to join Senator Boxer in seeking information on behalf of residents in my communities.
San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E) serves my district and most of San Diego County, and the region receives almost twenty percent of its electricity from SONGS.
Since the shutdown of the power plant, there have been differing reports as to the cause of the leak and the integrity of the steam tubes that are used.
Some news outlets have reported comments made the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) spokesperson Victor Dricks about steam generator tubes at the plant showing "many, many years of wear."
Is his statement conclusive of an* NRC investigation? If so, what oversight actions are the NRC taking to ensure these problems are corrected and that plant operations safely resume?
Additionally, SONGS reported in the same week about an incident in January in which a contracted employee fell into the spent fuel rod cooling pool. This incident is just one among other safety violations at the facility over the past two years. What action is the NRC taking to address the continued safety violations at SONGS?
The safety of the public and the reliability of this important power plant require immediate attention. Thank you for considering my questions. I look forward to your official response.
Sincerely, TONI ATKINS th Assemnbly Memrber, 76t District Printed on Recycled Paper
