Excerpt from SONGS CEP Mtg.Sept.14, 2017 - Panel Member Pam Patterson questions Edison's Tom Palmisano about the seismic rating of potentially cracked canisters on the beach at San Onofre.

Since none of the canisters have been inspected for cracks and Edison and the NRC admit they could already have partial cracks, they in essence are NOT proven seismically safe at any magnitude or g-force earthquake. 

Edison and the NRC admit they have no current method in place to find cracks or know how deep the cracks are once lethal nuclear waste is loaded in these canisters.

NRC and Coastal Commission license requires safe seimic levels. Edison cannot prove they exist. A 2-year old Diablo Canyon canister was proven to be vulnerable to cracks and the NRC admits once a crack starts in can grow through the wall of the canister in about 16 years. San Onofre canisters are up to 14 years old. Learn more at SanOnofreSafety.org.
