San Onofre Nuclear Plant To Close

In a stunning victory for the community and for activists,  Southern California Edison announced today that it would permanently close all reactors at the San Onofre nuclear power plant.  The news comes after at least one NRC official expressed serious concerns over Edison’s former plan to restart the facility at reduced power.  However, after several months of political maneuvering by Edison, the company ultimately saw support deteriorate amongst both the public and government regulators, forcing it to make the ultimate decision to close down the nuclear power plant for good.
