• Southern California Edison says its San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) is likely to be offline through August.
• Safety and testing are the overriding concerns, not time, the company says.
• SCE expects to give the NRC a plan for operating SONGS Unit 2.

Unit 2 was taken out of service Jan. 9 for a planned outage. Unit 3 was safely taken offline Jan. 31 after station operators detected a leak in a steam generator tube.
