California : IN BRIEF : SACRAMENTO : Rancho Seco Plant Is Fined $50,000
From Times staff and wire reports
Operators of the voter-closed Rancho Seco nuclear power plant in Sacramento were fined $50,000 by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for failing to properly train key workers to respond to emergencies. The Sacramento Municipal Utility District, which is shutting down the publicly owned plant, said it would pay the fine even though the problems have been corrected. The NRC found that 43 of the 77 workers belonging to the core of Rancho Seco’s emergency response team were not properly trained.
