AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued renewed operating licenses DPR-80 and DPR-82 to Pacific Gas and Electric Company for Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant Units 1 and 2. The licenses, issued on April 2, 2026, authorize continued operation at a maximum of 3,411 megawatts thermal per unit. The NRC's Record of Decision concludes that the adverse environmental impacts of license renewal are not so great that preserving the option would be unreasonable, based on the Generic Environmental Impact Statement, PG&E's environmental report, agency consultations, independent review, and public comments. The original license renewal application was submitted on November 7, 2023 and supplemented through February 11, 2026.
