ALLIANCE FOR NUCLEAR RESPONSIBILITY

 URGENT: Lessons California MUST
Learn from  Fukushima, Japan

Driving by at night at 70 MPH, the tips of two giant half spheres of the San Onofre Nuclear Power Plant flash red like nipples on the breasts of a giant Hydra monster floating on her back in the Pacific Ocean. If there was ever a time we needed a Hercules to fight this toxic Hydra, it’s now.

As the horrific events in Japan unfolded last March, culminating in the reactor meltdown at the Fukushima Nuclear Plant, the vulnerability of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS),  in our own backyard, has become a growing concern for many San Diegans. Compounding our anxieties is the rampant deceit and cover-ups we’ve seen in Japan as this disaster continues to unravel. Thinking people are compelled to ask, “Who can we trust to tell us the truth about nuclear power and our aging reactors?” Could California’s nuclear plants, which are similarly vulnerable to earthquakes and tsunamis, be the next Fukushima?

Rochelle Becker has been working, sometimes single-handedly, on safety issues with the SLO Diablo Canyon and the San Onofre nuclear plants for nearly 36 years. As Executive Director of the Alliance for Nuclear Responsibility, she has built a bipartisan alliance in developing bills for nuclear safety that have passed the California State Legislature unanimously!

On July 18, 2011, Ms. Becker will be here in San Diego to tell us the truth about the seismic funding hearing last week for San Onofre (SONGS) and the precedence of the PG&E license renewal case at CPUC. She’ll also tell us how “we the people” can impact this critical issue with the upcoming California Energy Commission (CEC) hearing on nuclear power and other possible bills for 2012.  

In addition, Ruben Seja, who went to Japan and is involved in clean-up processes, will update us on the situation in Japan. Be sure to mark your calendar – this issue is too critical to miss.
