Rep. Issa hopes Calif. nuclear plant restarts by summer

Rep. Issa hopes Calif. nuclear plant restarts by summer: Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., hopes that Southern California Edison's San Onofre nuclear plant will resume operations before the summer, when demand for electricity surges in the state. The plant has been offline since January because of a steam generator problem. "If it can be done with 100% safety, we'd like to have one or both of those reactors back online" by the summer, Issa said following a tour of the facility with Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chairman Gregory Jaczko.
