SUBJECT:
DIABLO CANYON EMERGENCY Pl AN ALLEGED INACCURACIES IN TEXT On September 9, 1980, Mr. Carl Neiburger of the Telegram Tribune (Phone:
805-543-1901) called regarding my August 30, 1980 letter to PG&E (copy attached).
He asked if the fact that PG&E did not have an agreement to cross the Field Ranch would affect licensing of Diablo Canyon and also asked if I were aware of statements by Mr. Robert Griffin of the Sierra Club (Phone:
805-546-1132) to the effect that PG&E's emergency plan contains "present tense" statements on actions described in that plan whereas, allegedly, the actions had not yet been completed and should have been described in a future tense.
I stated that, prior to issuance of a full power license, the matter addressed in my letter to PG&E must be resolved.
With respect to the allegations he attributed to Mr. Griffin, I stated I would have the project manager for Diablo Canyon look into this.
Also attached, for background, is your September 5,1980 letter to Mr. Bruno on the Field Ranch matter.

0 Vl UNITED STATES CLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D. C. 20555 September 5, 1980 Hr. Alan Bruno Post Office Box 6289 Los Osos, California 93402
Dear Mr. Bruno:
Thank you for your letter dated July 21,
- 1980, concerning the Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) Company's emergency plan for Diablo, Canyon, Units 1
and 2.
A statement in the plan declares that an agreement exists between the Field Ranch and PG&E which allows PG&E access over the Field Ranch as an emergency evacuation route in the unlikely event that normal access to the site (which is from the south) cannot be used.
Your letter states that such an agreement does not exist and requests our comments in the very near'ture in view of the fact that PG&E is currently seeking a Fuel Load and Low Power Test License.
Based upon our review of our docket files we have been unable to find such an agreement.
We therefore have requested PG&E to provide a copy of the agreement if it exists or clarify this matter to explain the basis for its statement referring to such an agreement.
We thank you. for bringing this matter to our attention and will keep you in'formed of the progress regarding its resolution.
You also asked if other PG&E documents or procedures contain misstatements or misrepresentations.
We are not aware of others.
As you are no doubt aware, the Diablo Canyon low power testing and operating license applications are the subject oT a contested adjudicatory proceeding.
Since the Joint intervenors have applied to the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board to reopen the hearing record on emergency planning and the Licensing Board has reserved ruling on emergency plIanning until it is known how the accident at Three Mile Island might impact the Diablo Canyon application, there may be further inquiry on emergency planning.
In any event, under the Commission's Policy Statement of November 9, 1979, covering such proceedings, (44 Federal Register 65049) no license may be issued by the NRC staff until the Commission has reviewed the findings of the COIIission's Licensing and Appeal Boards on such matters.
I trust that this information is responsive to your request.
Sincerely, Harold R. Denton, Director Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
