Experts, Activists Discuss Anniversary of San Onofre Shutdown

KPBS out of San Diego assembled the experts Thursday, even as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission decides whether to let the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station to partially restart.

Nine experts and activists discussed the implications of the one-year anniversary of the troubled San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station's shut down after a leak of radioactive steam.

Included in the panel assembled and broadcast by KPBS Public Radio in San Diego Thursday is San Clemente's Gary Headrick, who has helped spearhead the movement to close the plant for good.

Meanwhile, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission is continuing its process to decide in spring whether it will allow the least-damaged part of the plant to restart at partial power.

Listen to the roundtable discussion here.

How about developing a renewable energy source instead? Did you know there is enough sun in the Sahara to support the entire planet's electricity needs?

Any chance they'll add back the daily weather in the header? or anywhere? I used to check theRead More Patch daily just for the weather which of course led me to the additional news articles but I honestly don't read it as often now since the weather is not on the 'new look'.

It's being discussed, but it's further down the list. I know we're working on bringing back theRead More comment stream (the quotes people would leave a stories, I always loved that). We're making tweaks everyday, and I think the look is a huge improvement over little blue East Coast houses. ;-)

Arg. So frustrated. I really wanted to read this article, but will not read an article of thisRead More length with *no paragraph breaks*. This is not the first time I've encountered this on The Patch. Very frustrating....actually haven't even looked at The Patch in a bit because last time, same thing. Arg.
