Topic: Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant: Continued Operations Plan Post-2025 Speaker: Al Bates, Engineering Director, Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant, Pismo Beach, California Time: 5:30-8:30 p.m. Agenda 5:30-6:30 p.m. set up and social 6:00 p.m. Order dinner 7:00 p.m. Presentation 8:00 p.m. Q&A Venue: IHOP Restaurant in Rancho Bernardo: 16759 Bernardo Center Drive, San Diego, CA, 92128 Please to RSVP Ronald Petzoldt: https://www.ans.org/contact/form/?r=sandiego Background: Located near Avila Beach in San Luis Obispo County, California, the Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP) proudly stands as California's sole operational nuclear power facility, following the regrettable shutdown of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station in 2013. Occupying a modest 12 acres out of a sprawling 700-acre site, DCPP has been a cornerstone of reliable and clean energy production since it began operations in 1985. Its two advanced Westinghouse Pressurized Water Reactors, with licenses extending through 2024 and 2025, produce a staggering 18,000 gigawatt-hours of electricity annually. This substantial output provides power to over three million people in Northern and Central California, contributing nearly 10% to the state's energy portfolio and fulfilling 20% of PG&E's service area demand. The plant's inception in 1963 marked the beginning of a visionary project by PG&E, initially planned for Nipomo Dunes but later relocated to Diablo Canyon in 1965 after thoughtful consultations with environmental groups. Despite facing extensive reviews and debates over safety and environmental implications, the project exemplified resilience and dedication to safety, leading to the successful commissioning of Unit 1 in 1985 and Unit 2 in 1987. In 2016, PG&E, in a decision that has been met with disappointment by advocates of clean nuclear energy, announced plans to decommission the DCPP reactors by 2024 and 2025. This announcement, later confirmed by the CPUC in 2018, signals the end of an era for nuclear power in California, underscoring the need for continued advocacy and support for nuclear energy as a critical component of a sustainable and reliable energy future.

In this workshop, students will learn about the origins of Kintsugi, the Japanese ‘art of golden repair,’ and its meaning as it relates to one’s own life. Instructor Luis Santiago explains, “In these uncertain and crazy times, I believe people can find some solace and comfort in realizing that their so called “scars” and imperfections are things that do not need to be hidden or ashamed of.” While the traditional craft of Kintsugi can take multiple months to complete, mastery in application, and involves toxic lacquer, the techniques used in this workshop to repair two ceramic pieces and embellish these pieces in two distinct Kintsugi-inspired ways brings it to a much wider audience and allows for completion in one workshop. All materials are included. Students will learn two distinct ways of highlighting the breaks of their provided ceramic pieces and will take home a unique piece. Ages 17+ are welcome. • Military and sibling discounts • Scholarships available • Homeschoolers: Contact us for enrollment details. Stay Connected with San Diego Craft Collective!
