Do people just not give a sh*t anymore? OMG, the repercussions of this could have been disastrous. Are we this stupid? That's all we need is another Fukushima.

They were so busy counting their payoffs they didn't have time to do their jobs.

County in the area around that site? I pass it frequently visiting family.

What kinds of releases occurred? What danger is there?

We have the right to know much more about the failure at San Onofre.

I don't see any mystery as to why there was little to no real oversite of that plant, any more then how well the FED oversees the banking industry.

Those supposed job killing regulators are in fact mostly led by industry shills.

My buds and me at San Onofre yesterday (I'm second from right) standing about 200 yards north of the plant.

8. The first failure of the regulators

was allowing this plant to be built so close to the ocean, aka Fukashima style. Insane! It's just a matter of time before the tsunani that we never thought would happen, will happen.
Lets hope the cores have had time to cool down.
