Don't Restart San Onofre without full licensing heaings TU0 Follow Up Flag: Follow up LI O 3 "-0 --7 Flag Status: Flagged

Dear Mr. Chairman and NRC Commissioners:

I live about 35 miles from San Onofre but have many frie ive within the 12 mile zone of danger.These generators were flawed and defective as evidenced by the extreme wear and small radiation leak occurring so soon after installation.

Running the generators at even 70% capacity as a test run puts the lives of 7.8 million people at risk. Are you really willing to take that risk?The defective generator tubing design even run at reduced capacity is outside of the original licensing agreement parameters.

I believe there should have been licensing hearings before the new replacement generators were ever designed, built and installed, because obviously they were substantially different enough to have failed in less than a year after installation.

The tubing design was different.

In addition to the risk, there is a cost factor to consider for the ratepayer.

I understand that this whole fiasco has already cost over $550M over and above the original $680M to design, build and install these generators.

Good heavens, man, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize there is a problem that needs more than a 5 month test run to see if it "might work". Not good enough when you are dealing with potential radiation leaks, no matter how small. Zero tolerance should be the standard from the NRC.Therefore, I call upon you as Chairman and the other members of the NRC to uphold the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board panel's decision and maintain the shut down until SCE and SDGE have gone through the entire licensing process on San Onofre before any decision can be made to restart the generators.
