Document Missing in NRC San Onofre Investigation
The Voice of OC reports that, when it was requested by an environmental group, the NRC couldn't produce a crucial document about the troubled steam generators at the plant.
The Voice of OC reports that some documents are missing in their search for the cause of tube wear in the still-idled San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station:
Federal officials investigating excessive tube wear, which caused a small radiation leak at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, cannot produce documentation of a presentation by operator Southern California Edison that focused on the level of federal scrutiny required for design changes at the plant.
The company’s presentation materials are listed as the second attachment to the meeting record. The first attachment, a list of those who attended, is included.

Environmental Group Friends of the Earth hired an independent nuclear safety consultant to focus on the tube wear problem and provide their own assessment independent of plant operator Southern California Edison and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Read the rest of the Voice of OC’s article here.
