San Onofre Nuclear Power Plant




With the nuclear power fiasco going on in Japan post: earthquake/tsunami.....it's time to look at some of our current nuclear power plants here in the United States....

I expected to find secure.....smart....locations......instead, I find an example of one not near a fault....but on a fault.....and, could they have put it any closer to the pacific ocean? I believe there is a few inches of beach left before the ocean waves....

Can it be any more alarming? Who is going to tell me this plant is defensible against a tidal wave from a quake in the Pacific? If the quake isn't directly under it's foundation.

Could we also attempt to poison the ocean with radioactivity should there be a breach, more effectively than this?
