Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant to be shut down
2016-06-26 21:22:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
GadgetSandTechnologh News: Closing the plant should be cheaper than operating the facility through 2044 as planned, meaning the utility probably won't have to increase rates, PG&E said. PG&E plans to retrain workers during the plant's decommissioning process and offer a severance package. The latest twist writes a beginning of the end of the nuclear plant at Diablo Canyon, whose development in the late 1970s and early 1980s inspired an award-winning motion picture, "The China Syndrome", and an entrenched collection of anti-nuclear...

Diablo Canyons green power challenge

Press Democrat: PG&E's decision to close Diablo Canyon by 2025 is likely to mark the end of the nuclear power era in California. For critics of atomic energy, Tuesday's announcement was long overdue and the reactors at the state's last operating nuclear power plant can't be shut down soon enough.

The closure of Diablo Canyon's two nuclear reactors on California's central coast in 2024 and 2025 will likely mean the end of nuclear power in the state, due to an existing state moratorium on new plants until the problem of radioactive waste...

Tribune: In a momentous decision with far-reaching consequences, Pacific Gas and Electric Co. has announced it will not pursue license renewal for the two reactors at Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant and will close it in 2025 - ending a tumultuous 31-year relationship with the community and leading to an annual economic loss of about $1 billion locally. The closure is part of an agreement with labor and environmental organizations announced Tuesday in which the utility agrees to increase investment in...
