Well, i'd rather they look like giant boobs than those ominous flared top towers that were frozen into my memory when Three Mile Island burped out all that radiation in 1979. I was living in upstate NY then and remember being very afraid... I was a child, and soon thereafter my mother and I moved to LA. Yes, nuke power plants are taken offline regularly, and forgoing a big discussion vis a vis nuclear power (or "nucular" power in our fearless Prez's stumbling words) I'd just as soon see us develop sustainable, eco-sensitive power sources so they could stay offline. Hmmm... Southern CA is solar power heaven... if we can design a guided missile capable of going down an exhaust vent from a thousand miles away, one would think we could manage to get great amounts of power generation from the sun... AND make it market friendly! Hmmm.

Depends on the lease agreement with the state and with Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton. All of that land (including the state park) is leased from Camp Pendleton. I'm not aware of whether the San Onofre land is a sub-lease from the state, or a direct lease from the Base. I don’t know that the land returns to the state.

The industry has been working hard to get outage time down from 2 months to one month or less. The refueling actually doesn't take that long (probably 20 days) - it is all the other maintenance, repairs, component replacement, and implementation of new safety protections that take up a lot of the time. Outages are almost never planned for the summer due to the high need for power at that time. Usually they occur in the spring or fall. I've worked in the nuclear industry (not at San Onofre) over twenty years.
