eon3 | Diablo Canyon Nuclear Waste Unsafely Stored - Donna Gilmore @eon3 | Uploaded November 2017 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
The nuclear waste storage system being used by PG&E at Diablo Canyon reactor site has multiple vulnerabilities to serious risks according to official NRC documents unearthed by independent researcher and systems analyst Donna Gilmore.
Gilmore, founder of SanOnofreSafety.org, summarizes her findings in a PowerPoint presentation documenting vulnerabilities shared by the radwaste storage systems at both the Diablo and San Onofre coastal reactor sites.
The controversies raging in California’s two remaining nuclear reactor communities of San Clemente and San Luis Obispo are microcosms of the challenges facing dozens of reactor communities around the country, as America’s aging fleet of nuclear power reactors face a coming cascade of shutdowns and decommissioning projects.
Despite decades of failed attempts, no solution to the problem of responsibly isolating from the environment and future generations America’s thousands of tons of accumulating radioactive energy and weapons waste has yet been found.
This is number three of four excerpts, posted as a public service by EON, from the Slo-Span.org video coverage of the Oct. 19, 2017 meeting of the Diablo Canyon Independent Safety Committee.
