@ai6yr PG&E just recently filed an application with CPUC for the next period of cost recovery, so I expect this paper will get some attention. Also, while the NRC approved continued operations, the CA Legislature has to act to extend the operations since it was slated to get retired due to once-through-cooling impacts (i.e. fish killing)
