Licensing process at Diablo Canyon nuclear powerplant. Oversight Hearing before the Subcommittee on Energy and the Environment of the Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs, House of Representatives, Ninety-Eight Congress, Second Session, January 24, 1984
Management incompetence and design errors at the Diablo Canyon have led to a failure in both quality assurance and quality control that are delaying licensing procedures. A hearing on the safety of this reactor brought testimony on the dangers of nuclear power plants that must be balanced with the danger of inadequate energy supplies. Nunzio Palladino, Chairman of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) discussed the status of the Diablo design and construction and NRC's efforts to evaluate allegations. Other testimony by the remaining Commissioners and representatives of public interest groups and the State of California addresses this issue. Statements by the commissioners at a briefing on Diablo Canyon construction and regulation and two appendices with additional material for the record follow the testimony.
