San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) hasn’t produced power since 2013, but it still poses one of California’s most immediate environmental and public health threats. Over 3.6 million pounds of high-level radioactive waste remain stranded just feet from the Pacific Ocean, in thin-walled steel canisters that cannot be inspected, opened, or repaired.
This is not a story about a decommissioned nuclear plant. It’s a story about how a decades-long failure of policy, oversight, and corporate accountability has left us with a permanent crisis disguised as a temporary solution.
