8.4.2010 – NRC MEMORANDUM AND ORDER (Granting MFP petition to intervene)
8 4 10 MFP LBP-10-15+re+contentions+(8-4-10)[1] or http://a4nr.org/?attachment_id=1045
“This case arises from an application by Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E) to the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for renewal of licenses authorizing operation of its two
nuclear power reactors at the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant (DCNPP) located near San
Luis Obispo, California.1 The proposed renewal would authorize PG&E to operate the DCNPP
reactors for an additional twenty years after the current licenses expire in 2024 and 2025. Id. at
3493. The San Luis Obispo Mothers for Peace (SLOMFP), an organization whose members
live and work within 50 miles of DCNPP, has challenged the application by filing a petition to
intervene and request for a hearing.
For the reasons set forth below, the Board concludes that SLOMFP has standing and
has raised at least one admissible contention. Therefore, the Board grants SLOMFP’s petition
to intervene and request for hearing pursuant to 10 C.F.R. § 2.309(a).”
