Group Asks Court For Review Of PG&Es Diablo Canyon Nuclear Reactor License Over Earthquake Fears

AVILA BEACH, San Luis Obispo County (CBS SF) — An environmental group asked a federal court Tuesday to review its claim that California’s last operating nuclear power plant is violating federal law and should be shut down at least temporarily.

In a petition filed in Washington with the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, Friends of the Earth said the Nuclear Regulatory Commission violated its own rules when it altered the operating license for the Diablo Canyon reactors.

The petition marked the latest development in the dispute over potential danger posed by earthquake faults near the reactors.
