Hi, my family and I would like to attend this protest. We have never been up to the area or attended anything w/your organization before. I’d like to bring some friends too, but I don’t know what specifics to share with them. Is there a link or page that has parking info, etc. that I can share? Thank you!
Hi! The parking lot is on the south side of the reactor buildings. Take the Basilone exit, go to the road running parallel with the beach. You’ll drive past the reactors. Parking and day pass is $15. It’s good to bring a hat, sunscreen, a chair (one of those folding camp chairs is perfect), water and unmessy food. Also a notebook and a pen, for when you hear something you want to remember. Be prepared to find a way to get involved that’s right for you. Start conversations, ask questions, get cards and phone numbers. We need everybody’s help to shut these things down. Can’t wait to meet and greet you and your friends!

When folks think Location, Location, Location, one of the most important things is:
“How close am I and or are we downwind from a potential Nuclear Reactor Meltdown”
Lets use Southern California as an example:
What would happen to property values in SoCal if SORE, (San Onofre Reactor Emergency) suffered a meltdown like Fukushima for ANY reason, like an EQ (Earth Quake), terrorism, Tsunami, operator error or just “because it can”?
Per the NRC: Fact Sheet on Nuclear Insurance and Disaster Relief http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/fact-sheets/funds-fs.html
In short, if there is more than $12 Billion in damages, residents are left holding a empty radioactive bag! This is only a tiny fraction of what it will cost in Fukushima, which is estimated to be about a Trillion Dollar Eco-Disaster!
What is the value of all the homes and Commercial property downwind of SORE?
Probably at least several TRILLION dollars…
Here is a great graphic that will help everyone visualize what is downwind of any of the US reactors! NRDC Nuclear Fallout Map: http://www.nrdc.org/nuclear/fallout/
Just click on a reactor and zoom in…
Where will the US Government get the REST of the money if it happened at SORE (or a reactor where you live) next week, probably from Social Security and or Medicare?
In reality, ALL those affected are doomed! Tens of thousands are still living in nuclear refugee camps in Japan and it has been over a year since their triple meltdowns which are BTW still sending radioactive pollution Globally!
On the other hand if SORE is De-Commissioned, then the Property values would climb upward quickly because SoCal would then not have this radioactive RISK hanging over our heads and that could actually jump start our local and State economy.
This would be a Win-Win-Win situation because So-Cal does not need the electric capacity these two leaker could provide, (which has already been proven because both reactors have been shut down for months by orders from the NRC), De-Commissioning will generate lots of good paying long term Jobs and there will be no more RISK of a meltdown; besides SoCal needs a bigger World Famous Surf Park in San Onofre !
