Diablo Canyon Power Plant research library: Explore 640+ primary sources
This interactive database consolidates decades of regulatory, environmental, and operational records documenting California's last nuclear power plant.
California Today's Diablo Canyon Research Library is a comprehensive, interactive database consolidating decades of regulatory, environmental, and operational records governing California's last nuclear power plant.
Diablo Canyon Land Acknowledgment
The Diablo Canyon Power Plant and its surrounding infrastructure occupy the ancestral homeland of the Chumash people. As directed by Senate Bill 846 §25548(g), the state's extended operations and eventual decommissioning processes call for consultation with native stakeholders. The 2023 CEC Diablo Canyon Operations Assessment identifies six relevant tribal entities for this ongoing consultation: the yak tityu tityu yak tilhini Northern Chumash Tribe, the Northern Chumash Tribal Council, the San Luis Obispo County Chumash Council, the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians, the Barbareno/Ventureno Band of Mission Indians, and the Coastal Band of the Chumash Nation.
This repository catalogs over 640 unique primary sources, bridging early construction permits with contemporary state mandates and federal extension filings.

About These Sources
- A Living Archive: California Today maintains this database as an evolving public resource. New material will be integrated as subsequent regulatory filings, inspection reports, and agency decisions are published.
- Documentary Scope: By design, this library includes both PG&E-favorable and PG&E-critical primary sources. The objective is documentary transparency, not advocacy.
- Source Links: Each entry links to the document on the publishing agency's own website (NRC ADAMS, CPUC docket portal, CEC eFiling, Federal Register, water boards, and others). If a link breaks because an agency reorganizes its archive, please flag it via the corrections note below.
- Exclusions: Routine procedural manuals and agency drafting handbooks have been omitted from the public view to prioritize substantive operational and regulatory records.
- Corrections: If you spot an error, a broken link, or a missing foundational document, please contact our editorial team.
