Laguna Beach Might Oppose San Onofre Nuclear Waste Plan

Laguna Beach city leaders will consider a resolution today urging the federal government to quickly find a more secure and more remote location for the San Onofre’s nuclear waste.

The proposed resolution specifically opposes the current proposal to store spent nuclear fuel in sealed storage containers indefinitely at the now defunct nuclear power plant.

The resolution expresses the city’s support for a senate bill that would require federal regulators to include and consult with neighboring communities such as Laguna Beach when developing deactivation plans for nuclear power plants.

The council meeting is at 6 p.m. Tuesday at Laguna Beach City Hall, 505 Forest Avenue.
