Sources: Decisions made on San Onofre nuclear plant flawed

Sources tell Team 10 that that Southern California Edison let their desire for more profits outweigh safety concerns at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station.

So while San Onofre may be shutting down, the story behind the closure is far from over.

With a Department of Justice investigation in the works and millions at stake, SONGS remains a hot spot.

We requested a response to our story from Southern California Edison on the issues raised in our report of June 12.

Can you tell me who made up the Nuclear Safety Group Review at SCE/SONGS at the time of the companies 10CFR50.59 evaluation for the RSGs? This Safety Group is listed as the author of the internal SCE documents that 10News has acquired. The report is titled "Nuclear Safety Group Review of SONGS. If you can not provide names, please provide the titles of the individuals in the group. Our source says there were four people, a manager, two males and a female with "no experience in replacement steam generator design."

Response from Maureen Brown:

[on point]

1. Clear reason why company and not ratepayers should bear the cost of shut down

And why they should go after the execs at the time and take away their pensions and salary from the time as fraudulent payments

Same for PGE btw for their gas pipelines.

2. The execs knew there was potential for disaster and blatantly lied about it...

...to the public and the NRC.
I'm guessing their actions re the NRC were illegal.
Hope they get jail time.
