The two nuclear plants in CA, San Onofre and Diablo Canyon, produce about 4.5 GW together. Both are coastline installations vulnerable to seismic and tsunami activity. CA total electrical power plant capacity is about 33 GW . In 2010 t otal "used capacity " for 100% full operation was about 26 GW. If the nukes were decommissioned , the loss is not too large and would have to be covered by wheeling power from adjacent networks . Neighbor states would like this and so should C alifornians.
