I strongly believe it is long past time they receive the attention they deserve, especially given the risk that nuclear waste poses to the communities.
The spent nuclear fuel in San Onofre in my district has been a central focus and will remain a central focus of my service.
It will continue to be a core element of my service for as long as I am honored to have the opportunity to serve as your representative.
That is why we fought so hard for the $25 million in the House appropriations package.
When are you going to get the nuclear waste off our beach?
I think Harley and I are in Congress to deliver solutions.
I would encourage that you spend the extra money and you inspect the rest of the canisters.
I can tell you that I believe the San Diego and Orange County delegation in Congress insists that you do that.
I think it is really important that we focus on a consent-based interim storage program.
I share your concern, and we are going to focus on this.
I think it is a very worthwhile endeavor, and I hope you will continue to be engaged and continue to support those efforts.
