$6-279 and 50-323
Dear Ms. Hopkins:
Mr. Salzman, the Chairman of the Appeal Board, assigned to this case, has received your letter of February 28, 1980, and its enclosures.
These express your'rganization's opposition to Pacific Gas and Electric 'Company's Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant and ask that it not be licensed to operate.
The Chairman has instructed me to inform.you that, as a
matter of law, the decision whether to license, the nuclear fa-cility must rest entirely on the evidence introduced into the record at the hearing before the Licensing Board.
Consequently, your letter and the material that accompanied it may not be taken into account in making that, decision.
- Moreover, as you.
may not be aware, Commission regulations prohibit the Board members from entertaining off-the-record, ex parte communica-tions, like your letter, that deal with matters at issue in a contested proceeding.
See Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, section 2.780, a copy of which is enclosed for your information.
As that regulation requires, a copy of your letter and its accompanying papers will be placed in the Com-mission's public document room and served on the parties to the proceeding.
.Your interest in the proceeding is understandable.
How-
- ever, I, am sure that a moment's reflection will lead you to appreciate why off-the-record, ex parte attempts
~b
~an side to influence those who must decide these matters x.s simply not permissible and must be disregarded.

Ms. Tracey Hopkins For your further information, the Appeal Board announced last, month that oral argument of the appeal on the seismic questions would be held in San Luis Obispo, the Board members having to be there on other business at that time in any event.
It will begin at 9:30 a.m.
on April 3rd in Room 302 of the Old County Courthouse.
You, and other members of the public, are welcome to attend for the purpose of observing'he argument.

Dear Mr. Salzman,
February 28, 1980 C~
CC~~NH"'9 USRRC MAR i 0 1980>
OfGCSOf CS Secretary Qghfhg 5 Ssnics Branch We, known as a member group of the Abalone Alliance calling ourselves S.
U., N.
I.'Stop Uranium Now) urge you to NOT grant an operating license to the Diable Canyon Nuclear Power Plant located in San Luis Obispo for the following factual and valid reasons:
1)
San Simeon-Hosgri fault is less than two and one-half miles away from the plant.
The site has a potential for earthquakes eight to ten times str'onger than the plant was designed to with-stand.
2)
The plant would have to be operated at a 99.9 percent margin of safety which is impossible due to the possibility and probabi-lity of human error.
3)
A power plant produces tons of plutonium a year
- and man has no safe disposal of it'lus, it stays radioactive and deadly for thousands of years.
4)
No method for long-term storage or disposal of these radio-active wastes has been proven.
All proposed techniques for storing these wastes are in a research or development stage.
5)
Nuclear power plants have a life span of 30 years.
After
Mr. Richard Salzman February 28,-1980 Page two 30 years they become too radioactive to use, work in, or simply live around.
Like their waste, nobody knows quite what to do with these dead reactors, therefore these dead reactors are so thoroughly poisoned with very high levels of radiation that each plant must be considered a per'manent hazard to the public health for centuries.
a) these inoperable plants can not be dismantled or moved without monstrous "taxpayers" expense.
Thus, for centuries,
- .'perhaps. forever, these abandoned radioactive hulks will remain where they are being built.
6)
Radioactive waste causes
- cancer, mutations and death when mixed with humans.
7)
The cost of the plant has risen to
$ 1.4 billion from an original estimate of $ 350 million - a 400 percent cost overrun.
8)
See Information Sh'eet 84 attached an'd brochure entitled "A Very Ugly Fact About Every Nuclear Power Plant" also attached.
We would like to add very strongly our opposition to the hearings being held in Maryland.
WHO CARES ABOUT DIABLO IN MARYLAND'?
The concern is here in California where people will be affected by the plant when and if it is in operation.
We would then like to know the reason s
wh the hearin s will be held in Mar land and when?
In consideration of the facts and views presented here we urge
Mr. Richard Salzman February 28, 1980 Page three you, then, to make the right decision and refuse Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant an operating license; Thanking you very much for taking the time to read our appeal.

Information Sheet 04 DIABLO CANYON NUCLEAR POWER PLANT Background Information:
Pacific Gas a Electric Company, the "Nation's second largest private-owned utility company, has completed the construction of its nuclear power plant at Diablo Canyon.
Located on the Pacific Coast 2.5 miles from the San Simeon-Hosgri Fau1t Zone, the site has a potential for earthquakes 8 to 10 times stronger than the plant was designed to with-stand.
The cost of the plant has risen to
$1.4 billion from an original, estimate of
$ 350 million dollars, a
400% cost overrun.
"Diabla" is planned to contain as much long-,lived radioactivity as would be released by the explosion of '1'000 bombs the size of the one the U. S.
Government dropped on Hiroshima in 1945.
Besides the threat of a "meltdown," the plant willshould it go "on line" cause thermal and radioactive pollution as well as produce solid, liquid and gaseous radioactive wastes; not counting radioactive fuel waste, for which there
.is no known safe method of storage.
The electricity from the Diablo Canyon nuclear plant is not needed either by people or business, with one exception:
Pacific Gas and Elec-,
tric needs to sell the electricity fiom this plant so that it can recoup its very substantial financial investment.
They now need to pay for the results of poor energy planning.
STOP URANIUM NOW (SUN) formed in Ojai in August 1978, is a member of the statewide Abalone Alliance.
" As part of.the Alliance, we are committed to a permanent halt on nuclear power plant construction and operations in California.
We recognize nuclear power as dangerous to all life.
We encourage the real alternatives of conservation and safe,
- clean, and renewable sources of energy.
We also recognize. that-1)
The much advertised "need" for nuclear energy is derived from faulty and inflated projections of consumption based on a profit system hostile to conservation.
The United States of America has 6% of the World's population consuming over 30% of its energy resources.
With a rational energy policy and appropriate changes in construction and recycling procedures, the alleged "need" for nuclear energy disappears;
- 2) Nuclear plants are an economic catastrophe.
They are unreliable and inefficient.
Nuclear power is an extremely capital intensive technology.
In contrast, conservation.
and solar related energy technologies will create many more jobs, both permanent and safe, than the atomic industry could ever provide; 3)
The centralized nature of nuclear power takes control of energy away from local communities; 4)
There is a direct relationship between nuclear plants and nuclear weapon's; 5)
The dangers of nuclear.power are intolerable.
They range from a con-.
tinuous flow of low-level radiation which can cause cancer and genetic
- damage, to the creation of deadly radioactive wastes which must be com-pletely isolated from the environment for 250,000 years, to the destruc-tion of our rivers, lakes and oceans by radioactive and thermal pollution, to the possibility of a major meltdown catastrophe.

HOMESTAKE MINING COMPANY IN OJAI Background Information:
When uranium is mined, two highly carcinogenic radioacti've sub-stances are released, radium and radon.
- Radium, an alpha emitter with a half-life of 1,600 years, is a decay product of uranium found in uranium ore.
Ther'e is no such thing as a safe dose of radiation with respect to
- cancer, leukemia, or genetic mutation injury.
There is no safe way know to dispose of radioactive wastes.
Despite all this, Homestake Mining Company, a multi-national corpo-ration headguartered in San Francisco with profits of
$127 million dollars in 1977, wants to strip-mine for uranium above our local major water supply, Lake Casitas.
Homestake is basing its right to mine on the federal 1872 Mining Act, which established the legality of destruc-tion of public property by mining interests.
Later laws dealing specifi-cally with National Forests have given mineral development priority over "outdoor recreation,
- range, timber, watershed, and wildlife and fish purposes."
The Casitas Municipal Water District (CMWD) hired a consulting geologist, Robert T. Bean, to go over Homestake's plans of operations.
Bean concluded "Pollution by radionuclides of both surface water and round water would be very difficultif not impossible to eliminate if the drilling should be carried out."
Bean's report also points out that one of the possible pollutants is radium-226, "the most toxic of all inorganic materials. "
The U. S. Congress has spent
$20 million so 'far to purchase private lands contiguous to the National Forest in order to preserve the purity of the Lake Casitas watershed.
Eventual expenditures for the watershed preserve are expected to total
$55 million dollars.
Once radioactive substances are released ino the ecosphere, they stay there for thousands of years, constantly emitting radioactive particles.
There have been at least three instances of radioactive pollution to the environment caused by Homestake Mining Company operations in New Mexico and Colorado.
In two of these incidents. within the last two years, Homestake-run operations have suffered accidents resulting in the release of 50,000 gallons of contaminated liquids onto New Mexico land.
On May 2, 1979, the federal House Interior Committee voted to with-d th 69 000 acres of federal watershed where Homestake Mining Company raw e
the wants to mine in Ojai; for a period of three years.
Hopefully, e
three-year freeze will give SUN and other groups in Ojai time enough to permanently withdraw the land from mineral exploration, thus effectively denying Homestake's claim once and for all.

Imatoly 30 years of operation that lt must be closedv then sealed and guarded for centuries to make certain that no one, child or adult, comes into contact with Its lethal radioactivity.
The radioactive poisoning of a plant is a normal part of the nuclear power generating process. This radioac-tive poisoning of a plant is not by accident. Plant em-ployees work on shorter and shorter shifts over tho years as rad!ation levels steadily rise in order to reduce their exposure to progressively higher radiation levels.
Nuclear scientists know that each plant becomes highly contaminated with radiation. Their torm far the sealing process ls "decommissioning."
NtvrJeaoyNP The electric power Industry uses tho Income fram your utilitybills to construct generating plants to pro-duce electricity to servo your needs.
In the decades ahead, the electric power Industry would like to be generating a major portion of the na-tion's electricity from nuclear plants.
The electric power industry has already constructed 67 nuclear plants.
Government surveys state that utilities would like to build over 250 more nuclear plants in the next 25 years.
Nuclear power plants have been built or are planned for construction in virtually every State in our nation-by streams, rivers and lakes, In bays and es-tuaries, near cities and In the countryside.
Nuclear.
power plants are even being planned for offshore areas along our ocean coasts.
Let us tell you a very ugly fact about every nuclear power plant
~.. a fact that your utilities do not teil you... a fact that the United States Department of Energy has not told you.
~ After approximately 30 years of operation each nuclear power plant will no longer be operable. The plant willbe so radioactive that Itwillhave to bo sealed and guarded for centuries.
~ After approximately 30 years of operation each plant is so thoroughly poisoned with very high levels of radiation that each plant must be considered a perma-nent hazard to the public health for centuries.
The process of radioactive poisoning begins from the moment that the first atomic fuel core is inserted into a plant. The radiation levels in the plant structure rise steadily week atter week, month after month, year after year as a succession of atomic fuel cores are inserted into a plant, used in the generation of electric-ity, and are extracted from the plant.
Every nuclear plant operating todayv oc planned for construction, whorovot that plan! Is located

The electric power industry is pressing the govern-ment to spend tens of billions of your tax dollars to promote an entirely new type of nuclear plant to pro-duce electricity-the Uquld Metal Fast Breeder Reac-tor (LMFBR).
