California approves guarded Sundesert nuclear plant plan
The California Energy Commission gave preliminary approval to the Sundesert project with 49 conditions, scaling two planned reactors to one 950 MW unit and delaying building permits. SDG&E officials support moving forward, while opponents remain wary of nuclear power. The decision allows an eight month review and potential legislative action on non nuclear alternatives.
