Diegueno Country School Organization:

Diegueno Country School ZZZZZZ=General Comment I am writing regarding our concerns about your staffs shocking preliminary finding of "No Significant Hazard" for SoCal Edison's proposal to restart a defective nuclear reactor at San Onofre. We vehemently support an adjudicated License Amendment Hearing process prior to any restart of these admittedly defective nuclear reactors.

As well, we would like to express our grave concern over the just-released report of the CA Independent System Operator (Cal-ISO) that "...the summer assessment notes the reliability risks to southern Orange and San Diego counties are'marginally more challenging' this summer, but still within planning standards".

My husband and I own a private elementary school with a population of 150 students and 25 teachers in Rancho Santa Fe, where we have been in operation for forty years. We are outraged at the possibility of any reactor at the San Onofre plant reopening, in view of the fact that it has been proven that it would unsafe to reopen even at 70%capacity with the tubes eroding as they have. We are in strong agreement with those who claim that the reopening of any portion of this plant would be a careless "science experiment," which has not taken into consideration the potential loss of lives in this land of earthquakes.

Afterall, the plant sits next to two faults, one with the probability of an 8.0 earthquake when it is designed to sustain a 7.0.Without question, there should be a license review.The safe operation of the plant has already been compromised.

Safety modifications were rejected, and we have already witnessed the shortcuts that resulted in damage to hundreds of steam generator tubes that carry radioactive water. Do we really want to risk becoming the next Fukushima?

Please, we implore those who are reviewing the reopening of the plant to look through the eyes of integrity rather than financial consideration.
