San Onofre NPP Data Reactor Supplier: Westinghouse Reactor Type: PWR Status: Operating NRC Region: 4 The San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) is a nuclear power plant located on the Pacific coast of California. The 84 acre (340,000 m²) site is in the northwestern corner of San Diego County, south of San Clemente, and surrounded by the San Onofre State Park. It provides nearly 20% of the electrical power to the residents of Southern California. Unit 1 is no longer in service. This reactor was a first generation Westinghouse pressurized water reactor that operated for 25 years, closing permanently in 1992. Units 2 and 3, Combustion Engineering pressurized water reactors, continue to operate and generate 1,172 MWe and 1,178 MWe respectively. The plant is operated by Southern California Edison. Edison International, parent of SCE, holds 75% ownership in the plant; San Diego Gas & Electric Company, 20%; City of Anaheim Public Utilities Department, 3.2%; and the City of Riverside Utilities Department, 1.8%. [edit] In popular culture In the James W. Huston book, FALLOUT, Pakistani Air Force Pilots attempt to bomb San Onofre using stolen California Air National Guard F-16s. The generating station was also featured in the 1988 film The Naked Gun, and the 1983 film Koyaanisqatsi.
