San Onofre

San Onofre, or the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, is a nuclear power plant located near the Boneyard and Irvine in New California.

Background
On October 23, 2077, disposal trucks were sent out from the San Onofre nuclear power plant to dispose of nuclear waste. However, due to the Great War breaking out, drivers instead drove to Searchlight, where they abandoned the trucks in a fire station. Only two trucks would fit, so the third headed for Cottonwood Cove where it appears the driver tried to illegally dump it down into the cove.

Appearances
San Onofre is mentioned only in Fallout: New Vegas.

Behind the scenes
San Onofre is based on the real world location San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS), south of San Clemente, California.
