San Onofre Nuclear Waste Debate -  pt.1
Channel: eon3
Date: 2017-09-16

This is Part 1 of EON's coverage of the Progressives of South Orange County's meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 12, 2017 in Capistrano Beach, CA. 

The topic is the looming danger of the San Onofre Nuclear Waste Dump which is in construction by Southern California Edison.  

Thousands of tons of radioactive waste, deadly for centuries, threaten to be stored in thin containers on the beach in a tsunami and earthquake zone for the indefinite future, and possibly forever, unless authorities can be persuaded to move it safely elsewhere - a very tall order technologically and politically.    

Roger Johnson moderates. The speakers are Ray Lutz of CitizensOversight.Org, who recently won a court battle with Edison, and Donna Gilmore (SanOnofreSafety.Org), who is an expert on the storage and transportation of nuclear waste. Gary Headrick of San Clemente Green,who advocates for unity against these challenges  also speaks.
