troubled plant could not provide electricity at competitive cost. The vote, by which the utility district's board had agreed to abide, was 53.4 percent to shut the plant and 46.6 percent to keep it open. ... Opponents of the plant, including two members of the district's five-member board, argued that despite $ 400 million in new investment in the last three years, it would be far cheaper to retire it now, halfway through its expected life span, and buy power from neighboring utilities in the California market, which is glutted with electricity.

The result has been questioned by radiation expert and health physicist Robert Emery, who suggested it being the result of the 366: 866:
of cancers," Mangano said during a press briefing. The Rancho Seco reactor was chosen for the study because of the long post-shutdown period, the availability of county-specific incidence data since before the plant closed, and the fact that there are no other major reactors within 200 miles, he explained.

The closure of a nuclear reactor could be linked to a long-term decrease in the incidence of cancer. ...

In the early 1970s, a small pond was expanded to a 160-acre (65 ha) lake to serve as an emergency backup water supply for the station. The lake has always received its water from the Folsom South Canal and has no relationship with the power plant's daily water supply. Surrounding the lake is 400

When the reactor was at power, a failure of the NNI power supply resulted in a loss of main feedwater, which caused a reactor trip. Because instrumentation drift falsely indicated that the steam generator contained enough water, control room operators did not take prompt action to open the EFW flow

On October 23, 2009, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission released the majority of the site for unrestricted public use, while approximately 11 acres (4.5 ha) of land including a storage building for low-level radioactive waste and a dry-cask spent fuel storage facility remain under NRC licenses.

The plant cost $ 375 million when it was built in 1974 ($ 1.8 billion in 2023 dollars) and it cost about $ 120 million in 1974 dollars to decommission ($ 577 million in 2023 dollars), according to the SMUD Rancho Seco Nuclear Education Center.

On March 20, 1978, a power supply failure for the plant's non-nuclear instrumentation system led to steam generator dryout (ref NRC LER 312/78-001). This triggered an automatic reactor shutdown. In a 2005 document, the
