Duke Power Co., Charlotte, N.C., is considering buying or operating the idle Rancho Seco nuclear power plant 25 miles southwest of Sacramento, despite a potential challenge from San Francisco-based Pacific Gas & Electric Co. The plant has not operated since an emergency shutdown in December, 1985. The possible challenge surfaced last week when PG&E; sent an unsolicited letter to the Sacramento Municipal Utility District, which operates Rancho Seco, and proposed a consolidation.
