27. I'm relieved to hear that this event did not become another

Three Mile Island.

But disheartened when I think of all the many nuke plants that sit close to an ocean - and therefore at risk to a Fukishima type event.

We keep fighting to have headway on the issue of the San Onofre nuke plant here in Southern California. Haven't followed the activists' blogs lately and no longer remember the status of the plant. Couldn't say if it is up and running or shut down.

But with Global Climate Change and all the weird weather,we really should not have any nuke plants on our coastal shores.
