3520 Overland Ave. # A 149 Los Angeles, CA, 90034 General Comment Clearly, there are inordinate pressures on the NRC to continue their decades-long tradition of rubber-stamping virtually any nuclear facility that comes before it.
First, there are significant hazards inherent in nuclear energy and related materials. It is even more hazardous when sited about a half dozen miles from the primary coastal area fault in southern California -- the Newport - Inglewood Fault. Plus, there has been a swarm of quakes (the largest swarm that I spotted on this map anywhere in the ocean off of southern California) on the fairly major Palos Verdes Fault which is basically parallell to the Newport - Inglewood and the fault basically extends north-south from the area by the Palos Verdes peninsula. The Palos Verdes has a higher slip rate than the Newport-Inglewood Fault. Months ago there was an article which stated that state seismologists now believe that there can be a statewide earthquake in California. In earlier eras, it was assumed that the comparatively stable central California portion of the San Andreas Fault would help prevent such a statewide quake -- but evaluation of other seismic activity around the globe has led to a conclusion that the San Andreas Fault can deliver much larger quakes than any facility has been designed to withstand.
Due to all the systems that need to operate particularly in regards to power/electricity and sufficient water to cool the reactors and spent fuel pools, I do not believe that San Onofre can withstand a design basis accident -- both due to the seismic punch such faults can deliver as well as due to what is clearly the worst steam generator tube situation in the nation in both San Onofre Units 2 and 3.
Obviously, Edison had extra tubes put in in order to try to get out extra juice, but it backfired dangerously. Las Vegas odds are better than to allow San Onofre Unit 2 (let alone Unit 3 for now which hardly anyone wants to fire up) to go critical again at any level. KEEP IT SHUT PLEASE!
