      Doesn't matter, the US imports all its nuclear fuel from Russia, and global supplies of Uranium Ore will be depleted by 2050. All these nuclear plants need to be decomm'd ASAP since the US is dead broke. At some point all of the plants will be abandoned due to lack of fuel & funds to maintain them. Those that aren't fully decommission have a huge risk.

      Well modern…they were built in the 1960s. They have a 12 foot tall sea wall (looks more like 6 feet at certain parts) keeping the ocean out. They also discovered it sits on top of an active fault line. So, either a tsunami or major earthquake at the site would be interesting. Weird they never considered the site as a target for terrorism. Couldn’t they just move this incredibly toxic radioactive waste inland a few miles inland where it could be protected by the Marines?

      @@JohnJStantonit’s by the ocean because nuclear plants require water for cooling. As for the waste, it’s disposed in the safest way possible and even if there is a major disaster, the “waste” that people worry about won’t be a problem, it would be an active reactor like the one in Japan. Nuclear waste has killed enough people in all of history to count on my hands… the worst orphan source contamination stories usually happen because of a radioactive medical device that was not properly disposed of. The real killer is fossil fuels which have been responsible for 8.6 million deaths in this last year alone. I think the answer for which is safer is pretty obvious.

    The thin-wall canisters used to store Spent Nuclear Fuel (SNF) at San Onofre have a design life of only 40 years, and the SNF at San Onofre is an accident waiting to happen. If there is a radiation leak, people living near the site should be prepared to move away very quickly. Check your homeowners insurance as most exclude radiation damage. In my opinion, Ms. Gilmore was very smart to move away from the potential risk.

    Wish you would have taken pictures of the 12 foot tall sea wall that keeps the ocean out. Or details on the fault that runs under the site. But I will admit that they are doing a better than when it was stored in metal drums in a wooden warehouse :-) But the question I still have is what would supersonic torpedos or cruise missiles launched at the sea wall do? Interesting physics question above my abilities. Maybe that is a question for the owner of the land there, the US Navy, or the neighbors, the US Marines.
