Utility Wants Nuke Fuel Stored

Utility Wants Nuke Fuel Stored - (SAN LUIS OBISPO) -- Pacific Gas and 
Electric wants to store used nuclear reactor fuel at the Diablo 
Canyon power plant for another 20-to-40 years. The utility says a 
delay in completion of a national disposal site in Nevada makes such 
a move necessary. The plant is running out of room in the two steel-
lined pools where the material is now stored. PG and E is beginning 
the process to create more storage space at Diablo Canyon so it can 
take the plant through until its planned closure in 2025. It expects 
to apply for the necessary permits from the Nuclear Regulatory  
Commission next summer.
