On Saturday, May 9, 2015, the Democratic Club of Malibu, CA held a conference titled "Are We Ready for a Diablo Canyon Meltdown?" 

In this segment, Richard Mathews, a candidate for the state senate, reports on his campaign to pass legislation mandating the cleanup of the radioactive contamination that still remains in the environment from the 1959 nuclear partial reactor meltdown at Santa Susana near the Simi Valley.

Organized by Club President Ann Doneen and Myla Reson, the well-attended event was MCed by author Harvey Wasserman.  

It featured presentations by several speakers on the very real risks posed to Malibu by the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant, located on the California coast north of Malibu on 13 intersecting earthquake faults, in a tsunami zone, and run by PG&E, a utility facing multiple indictments for safety violations.

Conference participants learned about the similarities between the situation at Diablo Canyon and Japan's on-going Fukushima nuclear disaster.
