Panel to Review Earthquake Safety at Diablo Canyon Plant

摘要

Federal regulators need to reassess seismic standards at California's last operating nuclear power plant and determine if its operating rules are sufficient in light of earthquake risks, a former California state senator says. Sam Blakeslee argues in testimony to be submitted to a U.S. Senate panel that public safety demands closer scrutiny of Diablo Canyon's twin reactors, located near several faults on a seaside bluff midway between Los Angeles and San Francisco.
