Board Ruling Seen Slowing or Blocking Edison Nuclear Restart

A U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission licensing board ruling may delay or block Edison International’s plan to resume operations at its shuttered San Onofre plant in California, according to an analyst.
The agency’s Atomic Safety and Licensing Board yesterday determined that the NRC’s process for approving a re-start of the plant amounts to a license amendment proceeding. That means environmental group Friends of the Earth, which petitioned for a public hearing, will have the opportunity for one, the agency said in a statement.
