On August 28, 2017, a historic settlement agreement was announced to MOVE THE WASTE TO A SAFER PLACE

Navigational Aids

Our primary focus will be on the Pendleton Option -- i.e. leaving the waste on federal land but moving it inland about 5 miles and turning over responsibility to the DOE.

Background

Southern California Edison has proposed a new ISFSI (Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation, AKA "Dry Cask Storage") to be built only 100 feet from the seawall on the San Onofre nuclear generation Station (SONGS) site, to store high-level nuclear waste. A total of 3.6 million pounds of waste is to be stored there for an indefinite period.
