A June 16 court date has been set to hear a lawsuit filed by an advocacy group against the California Coastal Commission, seeking to stop dismantlement work at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station.
will consider the petition by the Samuel Lawrence Foundation that argues the commission should not have granted a permit to Southern California Edison, the majority owner of the plant, to take down buildings and other infrastructure at the now-closed generating station, known as SONGS., based in Del Mar.
The permit lasts 20 years and includes a condition that allows the commission by 2035 to revisit whether the dry storage site should be moved to another location in case of rising sea levels, earthquake risk, canister damage or other possible scenarios. A wet storage pool cools radioactive fuel rods at Unit 2 of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station.
After the foundation sought a temporary restraining order, the group and Edison officials last week signed an agreement that will keep the utility from doing any work on the storage pools for 90 days or until the judge issues his ruling in the case, whichever comes first.
