  4. Critics say #DiabloCanyon #NuclearPlant produces too much power at too high a price

    By Thomas Fudge, December 11, 2024

    "#SolarPower has become a plentiful #CleanEnergy source that the state [of #California] may have underestimated when it chose to extend Diablo Canyon.

    "Some people who run California’s statewide power grid say nuclear is clean power. It generates no greenhouse emissions. But it does create #NuclearWaste and it has to run 24-7, making it very inflexible.

    "'With the lack of flexibility, and the growth of flexible resources that we have coming on to our system, I just don’t know if there’s going to be value in retaining those resources,' said Brian Murray, director of real time operation with the California Independent System Operator (ISO).

    "McCann said nuclear power from Diablo Canyon is also getting expensive. PG&E is applying to raise its rates in order to keep the plant open.

    "That cost will affect San Diego customers of SDG&E also, and it’s something lawmakers didn’t anticipate when they voted to extend the life of the nuclear plant."

  8. #NRC agrees to reevaluate #SeismicRisk at #DiabloCanyonNuclearPlant

    Nuclear News

    "In response to a petition filed by #environmental groups earlier this year, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission will reinvestigate earthquake fault lines and the potential for seismic activity and ensuing damage at California’s Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant.

    “ 'This is a major step forward and a clear acknowledgment that our concerns are valid,' said Diane Curran, legal counsel for Mothers for Peace, about the NRC’s decision. 'It’s rare for the [commission] to review a petition of this nature, highlighting the . . . seriousness of the seismic risks involved.'

    "Critics of Diablo Canyon, which is California’s only remaining nuclear plant, say previous environmental reports about the site significantly underestimate the likelihood of a severe earthquake.

    "Owner Pacific Gas & Electric has long contested claims of danger due to seismic activity, since Diablo Canyon was built and retrofitted to withstand powerful earthquakes. In March 2023, PG&E received approval from the NRC in the form of a 'timely renewal' exemption to continue operating the Diablo Canyon reactors beyond their retirement dates of 2024 and 2025. Later that year, in December, the California Public Utilities Commission voted to extend the life of the plant an additional five years. A 20-year license renewal application for plant’s two reactors is currently under review with the NRC."
