NRC-2013-0070-DRAFT-0045 Comment on FR Doc # 2013-08888 3 Submitter Information Name: Grace van Thillo Address: 120 Avenida San Pablo San Clemente, CA, 92672 General Comment For the SAFETY of 8.4 + million southern Californians and the California ECONOMY, a public hearing MUST TAKE PLACE re: San Onofre nuclear plant's known replacement steam generator DESIGN FLAWS and FABRICATION CHANGES before any restart consideration.

Mitsubishi (MHI) disclosures about the defective RSGs that Congressional, GAO and state entities are scrutinizing; plus, the global nuclear industry's admission during your NRC meetings of San Onofre RSG's unprecedented tube wear and integrity issues, ALL reveal the sane and safe course of actions which the Nuclear Regulatory Commission MUST TAKE.The NRC must reject Edison's unacceptable license amendment and no significant hazard consideration requests.The NRC must ensure that Edison undergoes the appropriate, thorough license amendment process for the multiple areas of noncompliance with their operating license, that all relevant investigations are completed, and that public hearings on these requests are held before any decision on a license amendment or restart proposal is made.Senator Boxer asked the NRC to complete comprehensive investigations and provide full opportunity for public participation with independent expert testimony.

The NRC ignored the requests of Senator Boxer and we the public, by announcing the "preliminary finding" that a San Onofre restart at 70 percent power posed no significant safety risk. .6L ,.-- , h t p : / w w f m6/gert5/https ://www.fdms.

05/14/2013 Page 2 of 2 The NRC MUST REJECT Edison's EXPERIMENTAL restart plans of defective San Onofre Unit 2 nuclear reactor. DO NOT approve a REDUCTION in safety standards!!

That's moving in the opposite direction from transparency and lessons learned!NRC investigations are continuing to uncover on-going San Onofre plant issues, added to Unit 3's continued shut-down and imminent decommissioning that all heighten stress to Edison International's management and SCE plant operations, which in turn ALL further compromise San Onofre nuclear plant's SAFETY. Public hearings are essential!
