Group files petition to idle coastal nuke plant

LOS ANGELES (AP) — An environmental group asked federal regulators Tuesday to idle California’s last operating nuclear plant to review whether its reactors can withstand strong shaking from nearby earthquake faults.

Friends of the Earth, an advocacy group critical of the nuclear power industry, filed a petition with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission asking for a hearing on seismic risks at the Diablo Canyon plant. The group says the plant is violating its federal operating license.
