Published: Jun 2, 2011

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has issued its safety evaluation report (SER) for the proposed 20-year license renewals for units 1 and 2 at the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant. Combined, units 1 and 2 generate 2,300 MW. Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) submitted an application to the NRC in November 2009 to extend the licenses by 20 years for each unit.
