New lease of life for Garona

摘要

Spain's nuclear industry has welcomed the modification of a ministerial order so the Santa Maria de Garona nuclear power plant in the northern province of Burgos can continue to operate beyond 2013. Plant owner and operator Nuclenor welcomed the decision to modify the order, saying it "fully incorporates" the opinion of the Nuclear Safety Council (Consejo de Seguridad Nuclear, CSN) which concluded there was no safety reason the plant couldn't continue generating power for a few more years.
