Mr. Joseph Hendrie U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 1 7 i 7 H. St r*e et N. W

• Washington, DC 20555

Dear Mr. Hendrie:

March Commission Those who debate nuclear power issues are frequently required to deal on very scientific and highly technical bases; however, with respect to Diablo Canyon power plant, Mother Nature.

lifts the burden of technical argumentation from the peoples' shoulders:

discussion of licensing a nuclear power plant lying three miles from an earthquake fault is irresponsible, under ~

circumstances.

Furthermore, attempts to dismantle ill-conceived federal and state programs have, by and large, been unsuccessful:

the costs of dismantling such projects are enormous and highly in-accessible.

This waste of unreplenishable public funds should be stopped before Diablo Canyon power plant and its dangers become irreversible.

Among other issues, I implore you to address the problems of nuclear waste.

And yet this request is obviously futile:

experts and scientists inform us that no safe means of dispensing and storing nuclear waste exist.

Not surprisingly, I disagree with your current position to license the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant.

The N.R.C. should risk loss of face rather than the loss r'\\JW__~
