An environmental group is suing to block efforts to extend federal operating licenses for California's last nuclear power plant.
Hallie Templeton, legal director for Friends of the Earth, said in a statement that"PG&E has been acting as if our contract has disappeared."
PG&E said in a statement it had not yet seen the lawsuit, but that as a regulated utility will follow state policy. "PG&E acts as if it has no remaining contractual obligations," the complaint said, while asserting that the utility still has a responsibility to retire the nuclear power plant on schedule.
Construction at Diablo Canyon began in the 1960s. Critics say potential shaking from nearby earthquake faults not recognized when the design was approved could damage equipment and release radiation. One fault was not discovered until 2008. PG&E has long said the plant is safe, an assessment the NRC has supported.
