atomic power review: San Onofre update 4/12

atomic power review

There is very little actual news to report yet; the NRC Chairman has toured the plant, and a brief report of this trip is available on the NRC's blog. Click here to read that report.

Far more interesting is the fact that apparently SoCal Ed has awakened to the need for direct approach to the public and the website I've just found which is attached to the SoCal Ed site for SONGS (San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station) is proof. The website is actually pretty impressive; it's located at "songscommunity dot com" and the entry page is found by clicking here.

Of great interest is this page, which is called "Just the Facts." This tells why this new website has appeared, gives some answers to questions and really drives home some of the real answers to questions commonly asked by those who don't know much about nuclear energy.. and as a result, it also squashes mistruths told by anti-nuclear opponents. This page is a good playbook, if you ask me. It's accurate, fair, not too heavily loaded and probably exactly what SONGS and SoCal Ed need right now.
