[bmitter Information-u<Li%.,rt[, .¢,q C ....-Hr F,'2" General Comment From: Daryl Gale Los Angeles, CA To: The NRC EIS Team, Let us be proactive and not reactive (like TEPCO and the Japanese Government regarding the Fukushima disaster)

!It will be so much less painful, less expensive, less stressful to the local population and the workers .... to not relicense Diablo Canyon now!It is far better to deal with the economic/labor issues and the nuclear waste repository issues in the present, from a position of strength and consideration than in the aftermath of an earthquake, tsunami, sea level rise accident or fire/mechanical release which will involve compounded injuries, possible deaths, radiation leaks, transportation nightmares and hysteria and other unforeseen results.We are currently going through a major energy transition

.... As we segue away from fossil fuel use, it is true that we will still need to use some natural gas as a bridge fuel and at night. Battery file:lllC

/U sers/C AG/D ownl oads/N RC- 2009- 0552- DRAFT- 0090.html 9/1/2015 N RC-2009-0552-D RAFT-0090.html technology continuously keeps improving and we can stem the worst effects of climate change, if we band together and recognize the necessity of acting on mitigating it. (I live in a solar apartment and drive an electric scooter)People in general prefer the status quo and are not interested in the stress of making major person sacrifices or behavioral changes unless they are mandated or incentivized through the media, the government, patriotism or financial gain!It is up to our federal and state governments to lead the way so we do not fall victim to a major.environmental catastrophe at Diablo Canyon. We watched and still watch in horror the mismanagement, cancer rates, continual dumping of radioactive water and the 230,000 displaced/evacuated residents of the Fukushima area.Lets not turn the beautiful, tourist destination of San Luis Obispo into a disaster when we have all the data and recent warning signals from the ongoing tragedy of Fukushima.

It is time for a strategic shift. We need to find a way and a place to move the nuclear waste from Diablo Canyon and San Onofre off the beaches, away from a high density population area and as far away as possible from the excessive amount of earthquake faults that characterize most of California.

We need seriously focus and do research on the nuclear spent waste issue: the securement, the transportation and a permanent repository for it!Thank you for listening to our testimony on August 5, 2015 and considering the viewpoints of citizens who live, work, recreate and deeply care about the safety and future of California.
