Alliance for Nuclear Responsibility
In 2002, the NRC denied our community’s request for an updated seismic review of Diablo Canyon and then approved expanded storage of highly radioactive waste on our coast. In December 2003 an earthquake hit San Simeon on a previously unidentified earthquake fault and the NRC came back in force to explain why that quake had no relevance to Diablo Canyon safety—even though nearly half the emergency sirens failed during the quake and it was revealed that the NRC does not require backup batteries.
By December 2004 the Alliance had been formed to chart a new path to preventing the continued production and storage of highly radioactive waste on our coast: Working solely within the jurisdiction of our state to decide whether the economics and reliability of nuclear power is in the best interest of ratepayers.
