New article in CounterPunch quotes Committee to Bridge the Gap on the extension of Diablo Canyon's extension.

The Committee to Bridge the Gap (CBG) – a non-profit nuclear policy organization – seized on these issues in a public comment and letter urging the Water Board to reject the pollution discharge permit. “PG&E’s history of evasion and noncompliance in its operation of Diablo Canyon gives ample reason to question PG&E’s credibility or transparency in whether its Diablo Canyon discharges will comply with water quality standards. The historical record, in fact, shows that PG&E cannot be trusted,” CBG states.
“PG&E is actively engaged in a breathtaking scale of radiological contamination. For example, PG&E’s tritium discharges at Diablo Canyon are arguably larger than the tritium discharges each year from the Fukushima nuclear meltdown site,” CBG’s letter continues.
