San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station

Surf rolls up on the beach in front the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station Tuesday Nov. 12, 1996 at the San Onofre State Park in Southern California. A 1991 California Coastal Commision report found that the water used to cool the nuclear reators at the station was destroying kelp beds in the ocean adajcent to the plant. A coalition of enviromental groups is trying to get Southern California Edison which runs the station to stick to a deal that would mitigate the damage to the enviroment.
