We focus on environmental issues, like the abandoned nuclear waste at the shutdown San Onofre power plant. The Samuel Lawrence Foundation strives to promote broader community access to science, education, and the arts. Whether advocating for the safer storage of nuclear waste, teaching about sustainable practices, or sponsoring climate events, the Samuel Lawrence Foundation is committed to building a more informed and engaged community.

General Atomics just landed $20M in state tax credits to build a fusion test facility in Poway a very different technology than the fission reactor that used to run at San Onofre.

Fusion promises power without long-lived radioactive waste. That's the hope. But it's still years, maybe decades, from commercial reality.

Meanwhile, 3.6 million pounds of spent nuclear fuel sit in thin-wall canisters 100 feet from the Pacific Ocean waste from the fission era that's already here, with no permanent disposal solution in sight.

New nuclear technology doesn't solve old nuclear waste. โ˜ข๏ธ
