Diablo Canyon has a horrible safety rep. Leaks, spills, shoddy construction, the list is almost endless. If it continues to operate it is only a matter of time before a large singular catastrophe occurs, or a slow motion one does. Remember, it is located near four major fault lines, one only a mile away.

If they decommission it and tear it down they will have to deep scrape the soil it stands on due to decades of contamination. Expensive, yes, but it really is the better option. Allowing it to continue operating is playing with nuclear fire.
