Many questions.
It is a beautiful day in southern California, positively glowing, and as I drove home from Beverly Hills’ Waldorf-Astoria, past Trestles and San Onofre, I wondered if that glow had anything to do with the shuttered San Onofre nuclear plant spewing a “liquid batch of radioactive effluent” into the Ocean Pacific just right there.
Maybe?
It was not an accidental spill but rather a “planned release” though still radioactive.
Dangerous?
California Edison, the proud owner of the power plant, claims, “No and here’s why. First, the dose is already small to begin with, diluted in thousands of gallons of water. Once released to the ocean, it mixes with vast quantities of ocean water. This serves to further dilute the discharge and reduce the dose below measurable levels. Second, radiation exposure to humans is based on pathways, the routes by which radioactivity might be transported. The primary pathway for liquid releases would be eating seafood (fish, crustaceans) that might accumulate radioactive material.”
But our Surfrider Foundation, who fought for these planned releases to be made public, may be less certain, declaring, “Edison explains that the effluent has been treated to a radiological dose level of just 0.00172 mrem, which when considered cumulatively with earlier batch releases this year, is 0.128% of the annual whole body dose limit (6 mrem). While this is well within their legal allowance set by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), Surfrider believes that it’s important for the community to be able to make informed decisions about their potential exposure.”
Hmmmm.
And while I’m less worried about eating San Clemente’s fish and crustaceans I wonder about accumulation in surfboards.
Like, do Trestles surfers’ Pyzels and CIs, Mayhems too, begin growing when exposed, imperceptibly at first, robustly later, until they become nine-feet long and love cruising the knee-high rollers even closer to the power plant at San O?
Seems extremely likely.
Whilst driving past Trestles, I cranked my neck, per the norm, and the non-Trestles part I could see seemed generally uncrowded. San O, on the other hand, was packed. Nine-feet long surfboards soaking up more of that life-giving radioactive effluent.
Are longboarders retarded? Or wait, not retarded. That whole concept has been cancelled. I meant deformed. Are longboarders deformed normalboarders due radioactive exposure?
Discuss.
time to freak out again. they are releasing more tomorrow.
So Cat and Fiddle was a certain type of place. My brother was very regular.
Left my families business in 92, promised not to poach the entertainment business so I focused on corpo/society money in Newps. South county. I had been living in Newp since 81. So my time in Hollywood ended bout that time and socially, it was way more mid 80’s and punk late 70’s. Cathe de Grand. Skank warehouse you would have loved, 7 Sisters. Talk about fish in a barrel and what variety. Wow. Forgot about that.
I didn’t wine and dine with those clients. Separation of church and state amigo.
Glad you didn’t get hit man. Storms are scary and 2020 is no good luck charm. Go get some waves. Do you get alerts to your email about replies to your comments?
Cattlebarrons on La Cienega…. off the charts. Next next level. Geez, you opened a can of worms.
can’t believe you mentioned those two places… fuck dude, were we passing each other on the way in and out?
Russia still operating dozens of RBMK reactors. Designed so the two worst reactor outcomes are possible, steam explosions and burning graphite all wrapped up in one package with no containment vessel.
thought the article was about caroline marks….
No amount of radiation is safe! Cumulative people! text NUKES to 31996 for Alerts!
Sea water is slightly radioactive: it contains a small but significant amount of radioactive elements that undergo spontaneous radioactive decay and produce energy, subatomic particles, and a remainder, or daughter nucleus, smaller than the original. The particles include alpha particles (two neutrons plus two protons), beta particles (electrons), and gamma energy. The radioactive elements are called radioactive isotopes, or radionuclides, or nuclides. Nearly all of the radioactive material in the ocean is natural, and represents material that has been on Earth since its formation.

who’s more of a gross polluter.. slater or s.c.e. ?
The absurdity of what’s happening at San Onofre is a truly spectacular non-partisan spectacle, allowing all to stand equally agog at the incompetency and deficiency of almost every organization involved: Southern California Edison, the NRC, local government, state government, federal government. Burying 73 canisters of spent nuclear waste (which is at a constant temperature of several hundred degrees fairhenheit)108 feet from SAN O, 6 miles from San Clemente, barely above the tide line on crumbling bluffs on a fault line in a tsunami zone is some next level corporate socialism. And basically only b/c it benefits not a single chickenshit politician to create the will to establish a national nuclear storage facility. So as much as SCE is to blame for their incompetence, now admitting to mangling the canisters as they go in and nearly dropping a canister last summer, its not technically their fault that there is nowhere for the shit to go. The thin poetry available in the tragi-comic nightmare that is SONGS is simply that usually the upper middle class has the sense to impose such dangers only on working folk. Kinda a tinkly “fantasy-under-the-sea” feeling to see them doing it to themselves.
good info on what’s going on here: https://publicwatchdogs.org/
Or, ideally, preferably the #MAGA cult. Cuz, you know, they’re retar-er, deformed anyways, so…
Didnt know you were a hopeful romantic!
I’m looking forward to the inclusive profile on the three-boobed female Val longboarder by the WSL.
Speaking of radioactive effluent, I dove into some wsl content for the first time since the tour shit the bed to watch jonah hill and mick fanning have a too structured conversation and I actually kinda enjoyed it. It made me think that the ultimate surfer kook edition would for sure be watchable.
Hopefully someone turns into a mutant and becomes the first Cali surfer for a longtime to win a title
LOL
It’s closed!
not cool enough to figure that out.
Worse, brags about the upgraded Hilton that looks like it should be in Irvine.
Never bragging. Just telling truth.
I think you mentioned it in two articles, you must have been impressed or your wife has Hilton points?
I have the pleasure about 10x annually of spending the night at the Doubletree Novosibirsk which bears an astonishing resemblance to the Beverly Hills version.
But to be clear if you stay at a Hilton no geographic description is required, they are all exactly the same.
You crafty devil… maybe Joe will attend with Gavin
Chas, if you’re gonna spend money on a room in that hood, just jump to Hotel Bel Air or if you wanna drink conspicuously, BHHotel.
Not the fucking corporate upgraded Hilton that looks like it should be in Irvine.
A very nice theory, however won’t shortboards become mid-lengths before longboards? You appear to have conveniently missed this. Also, where the fuck are your podcasts, they’re overdue.
I think the mid is mostly natural. And three coming next week!
True, I think ‘mid-lenghts’–would just be a natural progression in the metamorphosis to a longboard… …….
EDF operates 56 reactors in France all built since 1974,18 of the reactors are on the Atlantic coast. All reactors routinely disperse gaseous and liquid radioactive effluent at what is deemed allowable levels.
Until 1993 high level waste was routinely dumped in the ocean with USSR/Russia and the UK being the worst offenders.This included whole reactors and spent fuel rods in containers.
I would worry much less about the California discharge and much more about the inevitability of Japan dumping millions of tons of stored fission by products into the Pacific as a result of the ongoing issues at Fukushima.
Heh, I’ll just bet the Mariana Trench is filling up with all sorts of material from populous nearby nations.
No one thinks about Fuku…. dude that is a disaster continuing and pending. How many disasters can claim that?
