A Message from Rochelle

Please take a moment this holiday season to speak out for your children, grandchildren and all generations to come, the future of our state.

California's nuclear utilities and their oversight agencies historically interupt the holiday season with hearings that demand our attend, Dec 2005 is no exception.

**Dec 14th - NRC open public meeting to discuss construction of onsite storage for high-level radioactive waste at Diablo Canyon. The Alliance invites you to join us for "nukemas" carols link to a copy of the carols before the meeting at 5:30 and to stay and speak or support those who make presentations to the NRC.

**Dec 15th - CPUC Commission meeting that may adopt a decision to allow ratepayers to be charged for replacement steam generators at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station with no ceiling cap for cost overruns. Please call CPUC President Peevey and let him know that SCE and SDG&E Ratepayers deserve to know what a project that must cut a 28' by 28' foot whole in each seismically qualified reactor. Nuclear utilities have never met their budgets for expenses. For example, construction costs estimated at $500 million ballooned to over $5 billion when project was completed. To contact President Peevey and let him know no more “open wallet” projects for the state’s nuclear plants: mp1@cpuc.ca.gov or (415) 703 3703.
