[ RadSafe ] San Onofre nuclear plant -- please don't forget to vote -- li...

Hey Radsafe,
 
     What's going on here --- is some newspaper poll  going to determine if 
San Onofre will
remain open???  Be serious.  The utility company will never let  that 
happen.  Except unless the new
liberal NRC steps in at this time.
 
     The geophysicists/seismologists of the NOAA???  Tsunami warning center 
in Hawaii and 
elsewhere should be able to tell us all if a serious Tsunami will ever hit  
the San Onofre Nuclear 
Power Station.  If those guys aren't too busy catching some rays and  
surfing???
The strike-slip faults near California are not like the subduction zone  
faults near Japan.
It is pretty well known that big Tsunamis are caused by Subduction Zone  
Quakes.
The nearest subduction zones to California are Mexico, Seattle and  Alaska. 
 Certainly not directly
next to the San Onofre Nuclear plant.  Look for papers by  California-based 
seismologists
(Heaton, Kanamori, Francis Wu, Tseng, L. Hutchings, K. Hutton, L. Jones  
etc.) in Journal of
Geophysical Research, Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America,  
Geophysical Journal
International etc. for more Tsunami information.  Or consult the  internet.
 
     What's the remaining estimated time of operation  of San Onofre???  
Another 20 years????
Will a serious Tsunami level San Onofre in that time period?  Once San  
Onofre is done in its
operating phase, place its stored High Level Waste somewhere  else.   I'm 
not saying a Fukushima-style
event in California won't happen, but the probability is not high.
 
    Vote in the poll if that's what you want to do...
 
     Surf's UP!!!!!

If you  can't remember if you voted on a particular day, don't worry, go 
ahead and  vote.  If you already voted on that day from that computer, the 
poll will  remind you that your vote for the day from that computer has already 
been  counted.  These kinds of polls are set up for the Chicago voting  
method.
