Edison’s Reef: A Not So Glowing Report — By Jerry Collamer
Posted on April 27, 2013 | No CommentsWhile large fish fail to thrive at Southern California Edison's artificial reef off the coast of San Clemente, California, mitigation mandated by the California Coastal Commission to repair destroyed kelp beds at their San Onofre Nuclear Plant (called SONGS), a wider marine mammal crisis is ongoing. Could radiation released from SONGS be the culprit in both cases? -
Show Goes on in Bid to Restart Leaking Nuke Plant – By Jerry Collamer
Posted on February 20, 2013 | No CommentsFor darn sure don't mention that cancerous creaky ol'nuke plant you were so handsomely paid to cheer for. Because talk of radioactivity at home, in the workplace, or at your kid's school, ruins an otherwise perfect day, no matter what. -

Meanwhile, a parliamentary panel confirms insititutional negligence and human scientific hubris caused the disaster. -
Keeping Our Lights On and Nukes Off – A Plan – By Jerry Collamer
Posted on March 12, 2012 | 1 CommentThere's no way on God's green earth, San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) can fix 19,454 (per dome) rotting pipes, without a plumbing overhaul of nuclear proportions, keeping its creaky ol'double boilers shut down for years, or maybe decades. Good. -
San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station: Fukushima Lessons not Learned
Posted on October 18, 2011 | No CommentsArnie Gunderson: The future of nuclear energy in California is over the "design basis" of Diablo Canyon and SONGS. Computer programs the Nuclear Regulatory Commission calculates cost and benefits of nuclear minimize risks of earthquake and tsunami. -

Regulating Nukes? There’s No Escaping the Plume
Posted on July 18, 2011 | No CommentsThe lingering death-knell hidden inside the million vulnerabilities of every nuke-plant cannot be supervised away. Gaming electrical power from nuclear generation is too-complex a technology not to finally fail. When it does, all hell breaks loose, and nukes' evil genie never goes back in the bottle. Loose-nukes / radioactive meltdown, released to the atmosphere, doesn't sink ships, it sinks society. -
Nuclear Waste: San Onofre’s Heavy Lament By Jerry Collamer
Posted on June 30, 2011 | 3 CommentsSouthern California residents are right to worry about the storage of "spent" fuel-rods at San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS), as Japan's Fukushima Daiichi melts-thru to who knows where. To what horrific end, no one can predict. -

The 20 Percent Solution to Nuclear Power
Posted on March 25, 2011 | 1 CommentThe simple-sane solution: don't create electricity by super heating plutonium. It's deadly crazy. Instead, let the sun, wind, or ocean waves light your kitchen, bedroom, patio, hot-tub, playroom or office. Even your car. -
Danger and Risk from Nuclear Fission Products
Posted on March 23, 2011 | 3 CommentsSome believe low, cumulative doses of radiation from dietary exposures are one-hundred to one-thousand times more dangerous than brief, high exposures as in the case of atomic bomb blasts or x-rays. It is known, in fact, that exposure to nuclear fission products impair the body’s defenses against cancer by depleting it of protective enzymes such as superoxide dismutase. -
