I gave a lecture on May 3, 2012 to the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at UC Irvine titled Response to Fukushima. It covers the responses to date from Japan, the US, and other countries. It also focuses on the two nuclear plants in the California earthquake zones, and then focuses in on our own San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS). It covers its safety aspects, and its earthquake and tsunami prospects, and the future earthquake and tsunami survey. It also reminded local cities of what they could do to protect themselves from earthquakes and tsunamis.
