Radiation would be 40 times worse By Don Bauder, June 14, 2017 A terrorist attack that could endanger 8.5 million people. Who cares? A tsunami or earthquake that could spread even wider damage. Yawn. A potentially disastrous meltdown. Fuhgeddaboudit. A utility stock that zooms upward, paying fat dividends. Bingo! Finally, you are talking about something important. Wall Street has that view: the only thing important about utilities is…
It was an honor and a privilege for Public Watchdogs to participate in a recent radio interview with Larry Smith of KPFK with American Indian Airwaves by the invitation of Adelia Sandoval, a leader of the Acjachemen NATION Juaneno Band. The Acjachemen were the indigenous peoples who occupied the land for 4,000 plus years in which the San Onofre Generating Station was built.
On January 13, 2018, Southern California Edison will bury the radioactive equivalent of 700 nuclear warheads on the beach at San Onofre State Beach Park within 108 feet of the water. Each of the 75 waste containers holds more radiation than what was released at Chernobyl. When it is completed, it will be the world’s largest beachfront nuclear waste dump.

Host Eric Rankin and cohost Michelle Anderson at KX 93.5 discuss how nuclear power is generated, why all nuclear power plants are located adjacent to large bodies of water, and the limited options for safe nuclear waste disposal with guests Charles Langley and Nina Babiarz.
Public Watchdogs Executive Director Charles Langley explains how Southern California Edison ran its generators beyond the redline and made you pay for them after they broke.
The cause of a leak in 2012 that led to the permanent shutdown of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station was steam generators being deliberately run too hot, too hard and too fast, according to a report released Tuesday by an independent watchdog organization.
Owners of the failed San Onofre nuclear power plant operated the reactor outside the allowable limits for pressure and temperature, causing the radiation leak that shut down the facility for good in 2012, a new report has found.
