San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS)

San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) is a nuclear power plant located in California that produces electricity by using nuclear reactions to generate heat, which then creates steam to turn turbines. This process provides energy to homes and businesses. The plant has two main reactors and has been in operation since the 1960s, with the capacity to generate a significant portion of Southern California's electricity. After shutting down in 2013 due to equipment issues, the site remains partially in safely maintained storage, and it is monitored closely to ensure safety and environmental protection.
