  Advisory for Thursday, Nov. 1: Third Shipment of Original Steam Generator to
  Utah to Begin

Business Wire

-- November 03, 2012

Southern California Edison:

        
         Southern California Edison (SCE) will begin shipping the third of
         four retired steam generator lower assemblies from the San Onofre
WHAT:    Nuclear Generating Station via truck to a disposal site in Clive,
         Utah. Safety is the No. 1 priority during the transport, which will
         pass through San Diego, Riverside and San Bernardino counties before
         entering Nevada and Utah.
 
         The steam generator is approximately 700,000 pounds and will be
         transported by a special 400-foot-long vehicle. The steam generator
         contains extremely low levels of radiation. The exposure that a
         person could receive standing five-to-ten feet away from the
         transport for an hour would be equivalent to a dental x-ray. The
         transport will travel by night in California and take approximately
         three weeks to arrive in Utah.
 
WHEN:    Sunday, Nov. 4, 2012
 
TIME:    9:30 p.m. (Pacific Daylight Time)
 
WHERE:   The San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station
         Old Pacific Coast Highway
