Activists to appeal nuke waste storage approval
SF Gate  December 5, 2008 An activist group has decided to appeal federal regulators’ approval of a radioactive waste storage plan at the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant near San Luis Obispo.

Mothers for Peace suffered a setback in October when the Nuclear Regulatory Commission rejected their argument that there hadn’t been sufficient study of whether planned storage casks for used nuclear fuel rods could survive a terrorist attack at the PG&E plant.

A spokeswoman for the group said Friday that Mothers for Peace will appeal the ruling to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
