NRC to discuss oversight of California San Onofre nuclear units

Thu Sep 13, 2012 5:29pm EDT

(Reuters) - The Nuclear Regulatory Commission said it will hold a public meeting in October to discuss the status of its oversight of the two-unit San Onofre nuclear plant in California.

The nuclear regulator will hold the meeting on October 9 to respond to questions about tube degradation issues at the plant, it said in a statement on Thursday.

The 2,150-megawatt San Onofre nuclear station operated by Edison's Southern California Edison utility has been shut since January after the discovery of premature tube wear in the giant steam generators.

Californians can’t seem to do anything right. We (AZ) have the largest nuclear power plant in tbe US and it provides reliable power for three states (AZ, NV, and CA). Isn’t it funny how all those Californians who want to boycott AZ because we enforce immigration laws seem very quiet about taking our energy output.
