Victor Dricks (817) 200-1128 Lara Uselding (817) 200-1519 May 7, 2012 E-Mail: OPA4.Resource@nrc.gov STATEMENT FROM CHAIRMAN GREGORY JACZKO ON SAN ONOFRE RESTART Despite some erroneous reports in the media, there is no NRC timetable for restart of the San Onofre nuclear reactors, which have been shut down over safety issues affecting the steam generators. We have yet to receive the utilitys written response documenting their completion of actions described in the March 27 Confirmatory Action Letter, so any discussion of a date for the restart of Unit 2 or Unit 3 is clearly premature. Once we receive their response, we will take whatever time is necessary to conduct a thorough safety review.
