I live 10 miles from the last operating one in California (Diablo Canyon, just south of San Luis Obispo, run by PG&E). I have several friends and parents of friends who work there. It's the #5 employer in our county behind only the county itself, prisons, and the university.
One friend said he expects it to be shut down (or at least announced) by 2020.
Maybe this is an uninformed opinion but it will be a bummer if they do. That's a lot of lost jobs for our area (1,700). I've lived here most of my life and no one hear feels unsafe (despite being near fault lines). They spend so much money on this thing, seems crazy to shut it down. (I heard they spent $70M on their SAP installation).
