General Information About DCISC Appointment of DCISC Members
A request for applications is publicly noticed. The members of the DCISC are selected from a list of candidates nominated by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). Candidates must be persons with knowledge, background and experience in the field of nuclear power facilities and nuclear safety issues.
In July, 1989, when CPUC President G. Mitchell Wilk announced a list of nine candidates nominated for appointment to the DCISC, he noted that “an independent safety committee clearly requires members who could demonstrate objectivity and independence. For this reason, none of the nominees has testified for PG&E or any other party before the CPUC or the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)in any proceeding regarding Diablo Canyon.”
