Subject:
Request to sever the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant compliance date waiver from the Draft OTC Policy Amendment scheduled for consideration at the SWRCB September 1, 2020 meeting. Do not grant an extension of the OTC permit for for Diablo Canyon Unit 2.
- It will have a serious, detrimental effect on the marine environment and sea life populations through entrainment and thermal impacts
- It will allow PG&E to continue making excessive profits from ratepayers who will face 8 extra months of subsidizing Diablo Canyon’s over-market energy costs
- It will delay the decommissioning of the reactors and the transfer of highly radioactive spent fuel from dangerous pools into safer storage canisters
- The energy will not be needed at that time
