San Onofre plant shut down by automatic monitor signal
A San Onofre nuclear power unit halted Tuesday after an automatic monitoring signal. Officials from Southern California Edison said no abnormal conditions were found in the primary coolant system as the 450 megawatt unit came back on Tuesday night.

Low-cost plan urged for transit in Southland
Dr Jarvey Gilbert of Burbank urged SCTAC and SCAG leaders to favor inexpensive transit fixes over a costly fixed rail system. He backed SCRTD bus expansion and a soon to start carpool computer plan, but warned a $140 billion rail project should wait until short term improvements prove effective. He urged public support for a November sales tax ballot to fund rapid transit.
