The San Onofre Nuclear Plant Waste Storage Is A Surf Community Issue That Nobody Is Discussing At The Beach
California’s Decommissioned Nuclear Plant Stores Radioactive Waste In Containers Buried Near The Surf Break; The Long-Term Plan Remains Unresolved
Bohiney Magazine | The London Prat
SAN ONOFRE, CA — The San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, decommissioned between 2013 and 2019, stores approximately 3.6 million pounds of spent nuclear fuel in stainless steel canisters buried in a sea wall at the base of a coastal bluff — directly adjacent to one of Southern California’s most popular surf breaks. The canisters are designed to store the waste for decades while the US government develops a permanent disposal solution. The permanent disposal solution remains unresolved after forty years of planning. The canisters are aging. The surf break continues to operate.
The Libertarian Case
The Mises Institute‘s approach to nuclear waste liability would hold the operators strictly liable for the full cost of permanent disposal without the liability caps that the Price-Anderson Act provides. The consequence of strict liability without caps would be full-cost pricing of nuclear energy that includes the long-term waste cost. Surf Revolt covers the nuclear-surf intersection.
