Many Still Skeptical About Shuttered San Onofre Plant

A hydrogen leak at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station on Tuesday has been repaired and according to Southern California Edison, it did not pose a health risk to the public. The same day, UC Irvine professors said the reason the plant shut down in January was because the reactors were over designed -- they had too much power in too little space. Vikki Vargas reports from Irvine for the NBC4 News at 5 p.m. on Oct. 23, 2012.

Who Will Foot the Bill For Shuttered San Onofre?

San Onofre Nuclear Plant has been offline since January, and now the California Public Utilities Commission is considering giving utility customers a break on their power bills. The commission held a hearing in Irvine Thursday to determine whether the customers must continue to foot the bill for a nuclear power plant that is not operating. Vikki Vargas reports from Irvine for the NBC4 News at 6 p.m. on Oct. 25, 2012.

Southern California Edison crews were working on Sunday night to restore power for some 1,100 customers in Canyon Country after an equipment failure, a utility official said.

The outage occurred around 6:30 p.m. near Whites Canyon Road, according to Anna Frutos-Sanchez of Southern California Edison.

"Those without power will remain out until we can figure out what went wrong," Frutos-Sanchez said, who did not know how long the power would be out.

By 11 p.m., 82 customers were without power.

Editor's Note: Initial reports from SCE indicated 11,000 customers were without power.
