California's Complicated History with Nuclear Power: What's The Buzz?
The past several months have seen a surge of interest in nuclear power as a potential solution to California's climate crisis, with Governor Gavin Newsom and other lawmakers sharing their perspectives on the matter via social media, including Newsom's Twitter. But what's behind the renewed interest in this long-contested energy source? And what does it say about the Golden State's complex relationship with nuclear power? As we explore, the answers lie in a tangled web of environmental concerns, technological advancements, and shifting public opinion.
A Complicated History with Nuclear Power
California's history with nuclear power began in the early 1960s, when the Diablo Canyon Power Plant in San Luis Obispo County became the state's first operational nuclear reactor. At the time, nuclear power was hailed as a clean and safe alternative to fossil fuels, and the plant was designed to generate enough electricity to power over 1 million homes. However, as the years passed and public concerns about environmental impact began to grow, Diablo Canyon and other nuclear facilities became increasingly scrutinized.
Stricter Regulation and Expanding Safety Concerns
In the 1970s, the near-disaster at the Three Mile Island nuclear plant in Pennsylvania, as well as the death of one worker and the exposure of 28 others to radiation,1 laid the groundwork for California lawmakers to step up their game in terms of nuclear safety standards. Specifically, in 1977, the bottlenecks of regulatory timelines hindered the approval of the licensing process, effectively delaying Diablo Canyon's risk assessment by having expert teams inspect the constructions' every nook and crook closely.

When I started my campaign for Governor, I knew I had a lot to prove. There's so much work to be done to build a California for all, not just the wealthy and well-connected. That's why we need a Governor who will fight for you, not just for the big donors.-- Gavin Newsom (@GavinNewsom tweet)

One might assume that the state's complicated history with nuclear power would spell doom for the industry in California. However, rising concerns about the effects of climate change have sparked debates over whether nuclear power could play a critical role in California's clean energy mix.
Technological Advantages and Safety Improvements
Some argue that recent advancements in nuclear power technology, combined with improved safety measures, should alleviate concerns and boost the industry's appeal. Specifically, the development of advanced reactor designs, such as small modular reactors, has allowed for smaller, more efficient power plants.3 Furthermore, technologies like passive safety cooling systems and advanced containment structures have improved the safety of nuclear reactors.4
