Public Access Sought for Beach at Nuclear Plant
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
The California Coastal Commission wants three miles of coastline north of the Diablo Canyon nuclear plant opened to beachgoers.
The commission staff is recommending that plant owner Pacific Gas and Electric be required to provide public access within two years if the commission approves plans to build a storage facility for the plant’s radioactive waste.
PG&E; declined to comment until the commission’s public hearing on the proposal Wednesday in San Francisco. The utility has long opposed access to the property.
