Activists prepare for (another) rally to close San Onofre nuclear power plant
Source: KPCC
Anti-nuclear activists plan a march and rally starting at 12:30 p.m. at the San Onofre nuclear power plant on Sunday. The groups want to shut down the plant permanently.
The plant has been shut down since January due to problems with unusual wear in steam generator tubes.
The “Shut Down San Onofre” rally and march starts at the San Onofre State Beach parking lot.
“San Onofre, which has one of the worst safety records of nuclear power plants, should be shut down," said Gene Stone, a representative of the San Clemente-based Residents Organized for a Safe Environment. It's one of several groups participating in the rally.
