......15-UT t" !-'l i.... .r--Vrn r-I mB cf General Comment DIABLO CANYON IS NOT A SOLUTION TO REDUCING ATMOSPHERIC CARBON Diablo Canyon will prevent California from succeeding in its goal to achieve carbon-free energy of 33% by 2020.DIABLO CANYON IS NOT NEEDED TO FILL CALIFORNIA'S ENERGY DEMANDS The California Independent System Operator oversees energy distribution throughout California by managing the grid. CAISO has expressed concern that there may be times when there is so much variable wind, solar and other renewable energy being scheduled onto its system that the other generators, such as nuclear, who will have to adjust to accommodate it, will not have the flexibility needed to do so.SEISMIC DANGERS Diablo Canyon is built adjacent to 13 known earthquake faults, and it may actually be built directly over the Shoreline Fault. No one -not PG&E, not the US Geological Survey, not the Independent Peer Review Panel -no one actually knows how far east the Shoreline Fault extends. For PG&E to claim that it does is both dangerous and fatuous.file:lllC:lUserslCAGIDownloadslN RC-2009-O552-DRAFT-0058.html12 1/2 9/1/2015" i.N RC-2009- 0552- DRAFT-0058.htrnl TERRORISM Almost 15 years have come and gone since the events of September 2001, and America's civilian nuclear facilities remain unprotected against a terrorist attack of that scale. Instead, our civilian reactors prepare only against a much smaller-scale attack, known as the "design basis threat," while the NRC fails to provide supplementary protection against a realistic 9/11-type attack at Diablo Canyon.PLUTONIUM Plutonium is the most toxic substance in the world. It is only produced through a nuclear reaction.Its half-life is 24,000 years. Plutonium can be transported in the atmosphere usually when it is attached to particles in the air. It can be deposited on land or water by settling or by rain.Plutonium can stick to particles in soil, sediment, and water.DRY CASK STORAGE The dry casks selected for use at Diablo Canyon are just 5/8 inch thick stainless steel. Lower quality canisters are being used, choosing profits over our safety. NRC documents provide data that indicate thin storage containers can fail 16 years after a crack initiates.
ONCE-THROUGH COOLING SACRIFICES MARINE LIFE PG&E, for many years, provided state water authorities with skewed data on Diablo Canyon. The data showed that the plant's intake of billions of gallons of water a day did very little harm to surrounding marine life. PG&E's conclusions were based on the unscientific formula that the amount of sea life drawn into the system at the intake port could be accurately measured by the amount of small fish and other organisms at the outflow of the cooling system.CLIMATE DISRUPTION AND NUCLEAR ENERGY The new normal in climate science is that there is no longer any "normal." The new normal regarding climate disruption is that, for the planet, today is better than tomorrow'fl/t:It~rs/lACAGDnwnln~,rkINi
