This excerpt taken from the PCG 10-K filed Feb 18, 2005. The NRC The NRC oversees the licensing, construction, operation and decommissioning of nuclear facilities, including the Utility's Diablo Canyon power plant and Humboldt Bay Unit 3. NRC regulations require extensive monitoring and review of the safety, radiological, environmental and security aspects of these facilities. In the event of non-compliance, the NRC has the authority to impose fines or to force a shutdown of a nuclear plant, or both. Safety requirements promulgated by the NRC have, in the past, necessitated substantial capital expenditures at the Utility's Diablo Canyon power plant and additional significant capital expenditures could be required in the future. |
