What's the legal history of the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Plant in San Luis Obispo, CA? Why & how, legally, was it retrofitted from a 6.75 (when it was built in the '60s) to a 7.5 in the '70s (per Wikipedia). What is its legal status now? Can Federal Law be brought to bear to close it, post Fukushima, which nuclear calamity was caused by a 9.0 earthquake, for public and species safety reasons? How best to close it, legally, now?

JL:

Don't know but I have been told the current governor had a lot to do with it?
