PG&E to dredge Diablo Canyon intake system

Diablo Canyon is California’s only remaining nuclear plant and is the largest energy producer, generating 8 percent of the state’s electricity. The plant’s remaining two reactors were scheduled for shutdown in 2024 and 2030, respectively, but received five-year extensions to continue operating. Meanwhile, Diablo Canyon has also applied to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for a 20-year license extension.
