January 4, 2013 Senator Dianne Feinstein 331 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Re: Support Safe Restart and Operation of San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station Unit 2
Dear Senator Feinstein:
On behalf of the Tustin Chamber of Commerce and our 240 member organization, I am writing to express our strong support to a fair and inclusive regulatory process for the proposed restart plan and operation of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) Unit 2.
The Chamber believes that Southern California Edison should be allowed to restart and operate SONGS as proposed in their Return-to-Service Action Plan if the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) determines they have sufficiently completed the compensatory and corrective actions requested on the March 27, 2012 Confirmatory Action Letter.
With the growing electricitý demand, businesses in California will need even more clean, reliable and efficient electricity to keep running without interruption day and night. The California economy is facing a tough, uphill climb out of the recession.: Itis no surprise that companies have been leaving California in search of lower costs of doing business. Nuclear power is one of the lowest-cost producers of base load electricity and has a lower production cost than coal or natural gas which helps reduce the price of electricity.
Should San Onofre remain offline beyond 2014, Southern California Edison would need to consider a combination of other generation resources and/or construction of transmission lines throughout the Los Angeles and Orange County Basin. The multi-year regulatory reviews and approvals needed for new construction takes time.
Businesses in California cannot afford a blow to the critical infrastructure and would greatly benefit from the stability and predictability of nuclear power in the energy mix and San Onofre's continued operation.
We feel Southern California Edison is focused on protecting the health and safety of the public and we encourage you consider putting SONGS back online as soon as possible.
Sincerely, Jo at n Stone, Chairperson TLi~i Chamber of Commerce Cc:
