California has two plants; each has two reactors. They are all next to the Pacific Ocean. They are:
- Diablo Canyon, Avila Beach (San Luis Obispo County): Unit 1 at 1,073 MW, Unit 2 at 1,087 MW.
- San Onofre, south of San Clemente (San Diego County): Unit 2 at 1,070 MW, Unit 3 at 1,080 MW, Unit 1 is decommissioned.
The San Onofre plant was featured in Leslie Nielsen's Naked Gun. As the main character drove by it, he said: Everything I see reminds me of her.
Surfers from my high school enjoyed surfing next to the plant because of the warm water discharge. Youth.
