PG&E’s Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant — the last commercial plant in California.

LLAW’s COMMENTARY, Saturday, (03/30/2024)

Don’t count on this nuclear power plant to provide much more than trouble to the already problematic, was scheduled for retirement in 2025 due to old age, has had trouble with cracks leaking in the reactors and is owned by the most accident prone power company, Pacific Gas & Electric, in the United States, causing major damage and human suffering wherever it has operated over the years. It is also a principal subject of my new book, “El Nuclear Diablo”, that I am serializing here on my nightly blog, “All Things Nuclear”. Chapter 2 is schedule for April 11th. ~llaw
