Unreliable Diablo Canyon Nuclear Reactors Increase Risks of Blackouts
According to Nuclear Regulatory Commission Power Reactor Status Reports data, one or both of the Diablo Canyon reactors were down over 40% of the days in each year for at least the previous three years (for problems and/or planned down days). PG&E claims that "the two reactor units produce a total of 18,000 gigawatt-hours of clean and reliable electricity annually" are at best misleading statements.
