More Info: ShutSanOnofre

This meeting occurred just after the announcement by Southern California Edison that they would not attempt to restart either unit at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) as of June 7, 2013. Therefore, instead of talking mainly about San Onofre, the discussion focused on the earthquake threat to the Diablo Canyon Power Plant.
