WASHINGTON, June 1 (UPI) -- A court-mandated addition to the Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission's environmental assessment for the used-fuel 
storage site of California's Diablo Canyon Power Plant hasn't satisfied 
opponents who successfully took it to court. And it means utilities may 
have to increase preventative measures as part of such regulator 
assessments.

Last year, the U.S. Court of  Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled the 
NRC should have taken terrorism into account when evaluating the 
environmental effects of the storage, per the National Environmental 
Policy Act. The U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear the NRC's appeal. To 
satisfy the lower court's decision, the NRC in February gave staff 90 
days to reassess the environmental assessment.
