Graphs for San Onofre and Diablo Canyon from NRC daily reactor status reports, per request.
Pride of Southern California Edison Co., San Onofre 2 in San Clemente, California, has been down for more than a year now, since 10 January 2010. Interesting the way it ramps down down from 100% to below 80% over a week, almost as if they were trying to cool it off. Will it stay down permanently?
San Onofre 3 has been down almost a year, since 1 February 2012. Cost of outage for both reactors so far: $317 million as of November.
Pacific Gas & Electric Co.’s Diablo Canyon 1, near San Luis Obispo, California, had a brownout 17-21 December 2012.
Diablo Canyon 2 had a brownout 13-14 December 2012.
