San Onofre restart plan commitments questioned by federal regulators

At a meeting in Maryland on Tuesday night, Southern California Edison officials continued in their attempts to convince federal regulators it was safe to partially restart one of the shut down reactors at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station. The meeting was billed as an opportunity for regulating officials to ask the operators if they had the technical capability to operate the troubled plant safely, and serious questions were raised about the on-going technical evaluation to determine if in fact Edison has demonstrated that they can do that.

It is not surprising that the utility is fighting the potential shut down of the nuclear reactors, they of course desire no alteration, and when it is attempted – have vehemently opposed it. They have found the existing system and process profitable in the past, and only desire such changes as will ensure it is equally profitable in the future.

In transcripts of meetings between regulators, the utility, and organizations opposing the restart, the utility has been arguing for the use of non-disclosure agreements to privatize information and reports, despite the contention of the public. It appears that once again, competition, or the fear of competition, has been promoted as an effective substitute for honesty.
