The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or Commission) has received an application, dated November 23, 2009, from Pacific Gas Electric Company (PGE), filed pursuant to Section 104(b) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 54 (10 CFR Part 54), to renew the operating licenses for the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant (DCPP), Units 1 and 2. Renewal of the licenses would authorize the applicant to operate each facility for an additional 20-year period beyond the period specified in the respective current operating licenses. The current operating license for DCPP, Unit 1 (DPR-80), expires on November 2, 2024. DCPP, Unit 1, is a four-loop pressurized water reactor designed by Westinghouse. The current operating license for DCPP, Unit 2 (DPR-82), expires on August 26, 2025. DCPP, Unit 2, is also a four-loop pressurized water reactor designed by Westinghouse. Both units are located near San Luis Obispo, California. The acceptability of the tendered application for docketing, and other matters, including an opportunity to request a hearing, will be the subject of subsequent Federal Register notices.
