The report addressed seismic and
plant aging vulnerabilities of California's in - state nuclear plants - Pacific Gas and Electric Company's Diablo Canyon Power Plant and Southern California Edison's San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station - including reliability concerns as well as concerns over safety culture, plant performance, and management issues at San Onofre.
Blakeslee, a former Exxon research scientist from San Luis Obispo with a Ph.D. in earthquake studies, authored a bill in 2006 requiring the state to assess the
vulnerability of the state's nuclear
plants to a major disruption, either from an earthquake or
plant aging.
