Regulators to Hear Activist's Argument for Participating in Diablo Renewal

摘要

The Atomic Safety and Licensing Board handling the Diablo Canyon license renewal will hear arguments May 26 on an activist group's request for an evidentiary hearing.rnThe activist group, San Luis Obispo Mothers for Peace, has filed a formal petition with NRC opposing renewal of the license for the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant.rnThe group, which is fighting the new license in part because the plant is storing nuclear waste in above-ground containers near the sea - requested standing as "intervenors" in the license-renewal proceeding. If that standing is granted, NRC would be obligated to justify in writing its decision in the matter.
