摘要

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission illegally rejected a request for a hearing about the Unit 1 reactor vessel at the DiabloCanyon Nuclear Power Plant, environmental groups said this week in a new lawsuit. Friends of the Earth and Mothers for Peace filed their lawsuit, the second federal suit the groups have brought against thecommission over Diablo Canyon, on Thursday the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, according to a press release . It is the latest in a succession of legal actions the groups have taken to prevent California and plant owner Pacific Gas Electric Co. (PGE) from keeping Diablo Canyon open until at least 2030: five years after the current operating licensesfor its two reactors are set to expire.
