Sierra Club: Twelve Reasons to Retire San Onofre ****
*The problems facing the operators of the San Onofre nuclear power plant
raise fundamental concerns. We do not believe it makes sense to try to
resuscitate this aging and deeply troubled power plant in the face of these
hurdles.*****
*1. Computer modeling by Mitsubishi did not predict serious defects with
its steam generator design.*****
*2. The steam generators system failure is unprecedented and still
unexplained. *****
*3. Operating a restarted Unit 2 under partial power may be impacted
negatively by failures and shutdowns in the facility housing it. *****
*4. The costs per kilowatt and in total for partial operation may exceed
those for full operation.*****
*5. Workforce instability may impact plant safety and reliability.*****
*6. Sabotage exposure may increase costs for enhanced security.*****
*7. The plant’s tidewater location exposes it to earthquake and tsunami
risks.*****
*8. Attempting to evacuate more than 8 million people from the local area
would create unmanageable gridlock if a crisis occurred. *****
*9. Personal injury liability exposure would increase in a restart due to
the level of known risks and concerns.*****
*10. Rear-guard action to keep the plant going neglects development of
forward-looking alternatives to meet regional energy demands.*****
*11. Regulators have put retroactive ratepayer rebates on the table that
would offset utility revenue from a recently approved rate structure. *****
*12. Costs of operation could easily outweigh investor return expected
from keeping part of the plant open, preventing cost recovery.*****
