San Onofre: Is nuclear waste being stored safely?
Season 3
Episode 7
San Onofre stopped producing electricity in 2012, but the nuclear waste remains, and it is in the process of being stored on the beach there in hundreds of buried concrete canisters. Critics are worried about earthquakes and erosion and believe the canisters can leak deadly radiation before it can be discovered.
