-,.General CommentDiablo Canyon must be immediately shut down and decommissioned.

There are significant environmental impacts to the local community and all of California and the entire earth from the operation of Diablo Canyon Power Plant.S Diablo Canyon Power Plant should be shut down and the waste should be better contained or moved out of California.

Importantly, Diablo Canyon discharges huge amounts of tritium, strontium and cesium into the ocean continually.

PG&E stated in 2014 that Diablo Canyon regularly discharges more tritium than S Fukushima NPP in its melted down state is pouring into the ocean.That water [in 2012] contained 3,670 curies of tritium, or 136 trillion becquerels, according to the I\ company, almost three-and-a-half times the amount released from the Fukushima plant into the S ocean in the period starting May 2011. The plant also discharged cesium- 137 and strontium-90,though at lower levels than Fukushima.

[iii]~ ' The Diablo Canyon Power Plant is old and does not comply with federal safety standards according to the Union of Concerned Scientists
