SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. — The San Onofre nuclear power plant in Southern
California has shut down because of a massive power outage that's affecting
millions in California, Arizona and Mexico.
Charles Coleman, a spokesman for Southern California Edison, said Thursday
that the plant went offline at 3:38 p.m. Pacific as it is supposed to do
when there is an electrical disturbance.
Coleman says there is no danger to any residents or employees at the plant,
but it is not currently generating power.
The larger outage is affecting 500 to 2,000 SoCal Edison customers in
southern Orange County and Riverside County.
Orange County sheriff's spokesman John McDonald says deputies have been
dispatched to major intersections to direct traffic because traffic signals
are out.
There have also been reports of people stuck in elevators. |
