Dear Commission,

I am writing to address the NRC's Spent Fuel Rule.

I have lived in the region of Diablo Canyon for over 27 years and as the former economic developer for our county, have a good understandi ng of the operations at Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant. I have toured the facility and have sat in numerous detailed briefings by their staff, Pacific Gas and Electric has developed a spent fuel storage system that is well within the guidelines of the commission. They have set in place a multi-layered system of safeguards and have a comprehensive monitoring program to ensure proper safety of the regi on. I am convinced we are well protected by their on going efforts. Having said that, it is incumbent upon the Department of Energy to find and implement long term solutions for spent fuel storage. The public needs to educated on the issue of safe storage of nuc lear fuel waste. The DOE needs to support the President's Blue Ribbon Commission recommendations for development of a long-term storage solution. Diablo Canyon is a critic al asset in our regions electrical grid and needs to have the long term spent fuel storage system resolved for its longer term viability Sincerely, Ray Johnson Former Mayor 2City of Atascadero Hearing Identifier: Secy_RuleMaking_comments_Public Email Number: 567 Mail Envelope Properties (377CB97DD54F0F4FAAC7E9FD88BCA6D0014433C49943)
