The Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant is set to remain in operation while Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E) works to renew its operating licenses. Some of the plant’s neighbors in San Luis Obispo County aren’t so happy with the decision, and Congressmember Salud Carbajal has succeeded in organizing a public forum with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to “discuss regulatory and technical issues” regarding the license renewal process and the safety performance assessment for 2022.
Attendees may ask questions and make comments, but the NRC meeting announcement states “the NRC is not actively soliciting comments towards regulatory decisions at this meeting.”
The meeting takes place on Wednesday, May 3, from 6-9 p.m., in the Board Chambers of the S.L.O. Government Building, 1055 Monterey Street. The meeting can also be attended virtually and by phone (see below for information).
