NRC approves Diablo Canyon license renewal, extension
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has approved Pacific Gas & Electric’s application to extend the operating licenses for Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant’s two pressurized water reactors by another 20 years.
Thursday’s approval means Diablo Canyon-1 and -2 can now operate until November 2, 2044, and August 26, 2045, respectively, if California lawmakers agree. A 2022 state law requires the California Legislature to approve any extension of operations at Diablo Canyon that goes beyond 2030.
