Summary
San Onofre’s three-point-six million pounds of radioactive spent fuel, sitting in vulnerable, corroding canisters right by the ocean, is a ticking time bomb—California can’t wait for federal action. With earthquakes, tsunamis, and corrosion already threatening these temporary storage units, local leaders like Irvine Mayor Larry Agran are rallying communities, researchers, and Southern California Edison to build a secure, above-ground storage solution modeled after Switzerland or Germany. Transparency and science must guide this urgent effort—before preventable disaster turns into regional catastrophe.
