  Hello,
                                                 
  For most of my life, I have lived near the San Onofre Nuclear Facility.
 I have heard some rumors that SoCal Edison, the power company that operates
 the nuclear plant is going to shut it down due to high operating costs.  Can
 anybody confirm, deny, or clarify this rumor?
  I do realize that at least one of the reactors _is_ being shut down because
it is old, but I have heard that the whole plant will be shut down. 
  Also, if they do decide to shut the plant down, who will have ownership of
the land, and what might they do with it?  I realize that the marine base,
Camp Pendleton, surrounds the San Onofre State Beach.  Will the land be used
to extend the state beach, the marine base, or will it be used for some other
kind of development (i.e. a desalination plant )?

  Thank you in advance to anyone who replies.
