NRC Considering Friends of the Earth's Petition About Diablo Canyon -- Occupational Health & Safety

NRC Considering Friends of the Earth's Petition About Diablo Canyon -- Occupational Health & Safety


By way of a notice published in the April 20 Federal Register, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission announced that it has decided to accept Friends of the Earth's Petition to Intervene and Request for Hearing for consideration. FOE filed it Aug. 26, 2014, stating its concerns about the Diablo Canyon Power Plant's operational safety and its ability to safely shut down in the event of a nearby earthquake. (Diablo Canyon has been a prominent concern of the environmental organization since its founding in 1969.)
