Seven years after the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station officially went offline, the eight-year process of physically dismantling the plant and knocking down the domes that have loomed over the landscape of Camp Pendleton for four decades is about to begin.

The seaside nuclear reactors at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station in San Clemente were permanently shut down in 2013 following a steam generator malfunction. What to do with its 3.6 ...

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission said this week that spent fuel transfers could resume at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station in San Clemente, California.

Das stillgelegte Kernkraftwerk San Onofre (englisch San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, SONGS) liegt in Kalifornien am Pazifik, am San Onofre State Beach zehn Meilen südlich von San Clemente im Nordwesten des San Diego County und wird vom San Onofre State Park umschlossen. Das Kernkraftwerk besteht aus drei Blöcken, von denen die letzten beiden im Juni 2013 stillgelegt wurden.

Nuclear fuel is hot (surprise!), which makes sense as it's used to generate steam to spin turbines to produce power. The outside surface of nuclear fuel rods are in the neighborhood of 800 degrees Celsius when immersed in water during energy production. Afterward, they're placed in vast cooling pools for years until they reach a temperature ...

San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, or SONGS as I affectionately know it as and call it by, is a formerly active nuclear power plant that's been officially shut down since 2013 and in the process of being decommissioned.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission said this week that spent fuel transfers could resume at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station in San Clemente, California.

News: CA Coastal Commission should deny San Onofre Decommissioning Permit Sign Petition to recall thin-wall nuclear waste storage systems -- now! Recall and replace San Onofre defective thin-wall nuclear waste storage systems with proven thick-wall transportable storage casks. San Onofre Holtec and other thin-wall nuclear waste canister storage systems are lemons.

27.03.2017 · Decommissioning San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station "These investments would accelerate progress on fulfilling the federal government's obligations to address nuclear waste, enhance national security and reduce future taxpayer burden," a note said in the section reserved for the U.S. Department of Energy.

A worker from the San Onofre nuclear power plant, David Fritch, put his job on the line and became the latest whistleblower from the plant to expose safety issues. At a public meeting on 9 August 2018 in Oceanside California, news of the near miss San Onofre nuclear waste accident sparked outrage and exposed systemic problems.

A small quantity of radioactive gas leaked inside one of the buildings at San Onofre nuclear power plant north of San Diego, according to a spokesman for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Operating Nuclear Power Reactors (by Location or Name) An operating nuclear power reactor is designed to produce heat for electric generation. Power reactors are distinguished from nonpower reactors which are reactors used for research, training, and test purposes, and for the production of radioisotopes for medical, industrial, and academic uses.

The San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS), operated by Southern California Edison (SCE) is approximately 100 km (60 mi) south of Los Angeles, 6.5 km (4 mi) south of San Clemente, CA. It is located between I-5 and the Pacific Ocean, within the boundary of the Camp Pendleton military reserve.

Tear-down of San Onofre nuclear plant to begin in February Work on the iconic containment domes, new rail spur are first on the list for the $4.4 billion project

San Onofre Nuclear Power Generating Station (SONGS) The presence of nuclear material on our doorstep is unacceptable. The removal of all nuclear material must occur in the immediate future.

But if you look at the specifics of the nuclear waste storage situation at SONGS, and the broader history of nuclear waste in the U.S. as a whole, through a remotely realistic lens, it's hard to believe spent nuclear fuel will make its way out of San Onofre anytime soon.

The San Onofre nuclear plant was permanently shut down in 2013 after a radioactive leak was discovered in a new steam generator. Humans will need to manage the plant's nuclear waste for ...
