Re: Town hall meeting held regarding nuclear waste burial [Village News, 3/9/17]

Your article about the town hall meeting regarding nuclear waste at San Onofre repeats one of the erroneous statements made at the meeting by the Public Watchdog group that storage of the waste will begin on January 13, 2018.

At the present time nearly one third of the spent fuel at San Onofre has already been moved into what is known as dry cask storage wherein the fuel elements will be stored in 5/8” steel canisters and then transferred into reinforced concrete structures which are designed to withstand the natural phenomena such as floods, tornados, earthquakes, etc.
