Dear ch=4==n Hendrie:

As a father, who is concerned about the health and safety of his so.,

I would like to request that the low-power Test License for Pacific Gas and Electric's Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant be denied by the Nuclear Regulatory Co= mission for the following reasons:

(1) '1he possible adverse effects on the public health and safety from a major earthquake at the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Plant.

(2) The inadequacy of the San Iuis Obispo County Evacuation Plan for a combined earthquake and massive release of radiation.

Tour assistance in upholding the public interest of the people of California through the denial of this permit is greatly appreciated.

Sincerely, MJ 4.,k3 c-Nelson A. Streib cc Congressnan Leon E. Panetta i %,,

Dear Sir,

I am writing to voice my protest of the re-opening or the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Plant in San ',ouis Obia)o, Calif ornia.

As a taxpayer I protest,and as a resident and utility consu'cer I protest the long term costs and the unknown effects of radioactivity on the land, the oceen and to my health.

I am not convinced that we have solved the problem of r&d ioactive nuclear wastec, nor I am convinced of the

_verall efficiency. In a truely humanistic gove rnme nt, we would put the health and N

safety of citizens bef ore the costs and

We are California residents who are deeply concerned about the proposed licensing of Pacific Cas and Electric's Diablo Canyon Nuclear Poaer Plant.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has not licensed a single new plant since the accident at Three Mile Island. The N.R.C. and the Atomic Energy Commission before it, never once denied a, license to operate a nuclear power plant in the United States. This is not the time to resume " business as usual."

The President's Commission investigating the Three !!ilc Island accident called upon the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to protect the public interest and safety and not act as an advocate and promoter for the nuclear industry.

No one has yet found out what to do with radioactive nuclear vaste.

It is criminal irresponsibility to continue to ptirmit and to encourage the continued creation of radioactive vaste when no one knova how to safely dispoac of it.

Le have been told that the Diablo Canyon Plant is not in danger from the Hosgreve earthquake fault, lying "just offshore." In fact, is it not true that the plant lies withing the fault zone, that it is perched en the side of a valley that falls off hundreds of feet below the sea? No one would seriously consider perching a nuclear power plant on the side of a mountain over a deep valley when it would be visible to all. Yet the fact is that the Diablo Canyon plant is in just such a precarious site.

No one can predict what an earthqune will do.

A magnitude 6.5 on the Richter scale can cause a vast range of damage from slight to catastrophic, depending upon a whole variety of circumstances. In 1971, the San Fernando earthquake produced ground acceleration forces as intense as those only previously measured in earthquakes of magnitude 8.

Diablo Canyon Nuclear Plant cannot be made " earthquake proof."

The State of California, the Governor's Office, is actively opposing the licensing of this plant. Where is the committment from Washington to uphold the right of the States to run their affairs? Washington bureaucrats don't understand or appreciate the forces released in an csrthquake. A hydrogen bomb is a tiny firecracker-worth of energy compared to the energy released by even a moderate earthquake.

Nuclear power plants don't belong on active earthquake faults. The N.R.C. has been totally irresponsible in permitting PG&E to invest $2 billion in such a o3 foolhardy adventure. Instead of protecting the public's interest, the N.R.C.

has advocated and promoted a dangerous and costly mistake and seems to be y/

continuing to do so under the sheer weight of inertia. STOP! Stop Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant NOW!pn 62 %

Dear Sirs:

\\

I strongly urge you not to approve of the licensing of the Diablo power plant.

Being so close to an earthquake fault means that no matter what other safety precautions may be tsken, the inherent danger is in reality there and could be disastrous to say the least.

Nuclear power plants are neither safe nor cost-effective, as past experience has shown.

My concern is not only for myself and my loved ones but for the other human beings on this earth.

Dear Sirs & Madams:

.fft.

I support rese:1rch into conversion of Diablo Canyon into a non-nuclear facility because of earthquake risk, low-level radiation, nuclear waste disposal problems, and inadequate evacuation routes.

I believe that the plant would be a serious danger to life in this area.

I am an Administrative Secretary to the Santa Barbara City Schools, which has an enrollment of 12,000 students for 1981-82 and I f ael that there is a lack of concern for the well being of students, animals as well as grown-ups.

My family has owned proper +1es in San Luis Obispo County since 1910 an.d I am a native.

lu is not in my families interest to continue to live within the 10 mile radius of the facility, therefore I appeal to you for help in stopping the licensing of this plant.

The earth 1

for " people", not dangerous " potential bombs".

I have spent every summer for my 39 years of life playing and enjoying the beach at the area near the facility.

My child plays on this beach.

I would suspect that my grand-rather who purchased the property in 1910 would expect that many more generations of our family may continue to

" live" on the land in this area as well.

How do you feel?

$ f, Life is vital!

We are dependent upon the air which we breath and the water and food which we eat to sustai

.,)

us.

Please consider the alternatives.

c)

Thank you!

To Wtom 't May Concern; I am writing to protest the licensing of t5e Diablo Canyon Nuclear Facility.

I am frig'- tened, tot only for myself, but for any crildren I might leave beiind if I become a parent.

I feel the NRC has no regard or conscience concerning the real dangers of nuclear accidents as they affect people.

The focus is clearly on business, people are expendable.

I plead with you to reconsider tre decision to place Diablo Canyon, sitting atop an active earthquake faillr, on line.

I am frigPtened, and I am not alone.

6 To Whom it May Concern:

I strongly support research into conversion of Diablo into a non-nuclear facility because of 1) earthquake risk, 2) low level radiation, 3) nuclear vast disposal problems, 4) inadequate evacuation routes, 5) faulty security preparations.

I beleive the plant would be a serious danger to life in this area.

I support the Abalone Alliance blockade if a testing permit is granted.

'lashinxton, O. C. 20555 b

N Gentlemen:

s:. C,*

I wonder if any of you realize how many people in these United States are becoming more and more alarmed about the building of nuclear clants.,

Surely, they are no less " good" Am=ricans than those in favor of nuclear power.

For those of us who hnve children and grandchildren, and trho core about future generations, this poses the streatest health 9nd environmental hazurd that this world has ever known, besides being the most cestly - in dollers - of any kind of energy-croducing facility.

For the p9st 25 or 30 years, we have 'oeen warned by scientists, doctors, etc. of the grave dangers that will be irreveraible.

(And how acout the farmers, ranchers & cattle-breeders).

For those 'who are interested, tL re's a tremendous amount of reading material on various studies - the most re-cent " Nuclear Witnesses: Insiders Speak Out" by Leslie J.

Freeman (published by Norton).

This letter is to implore you not to allow the cpenine of the Diablo Canyon olant.

Back in 1971, a Los Angeles pro-ducer at KNBC in Los Angeles, made a documentary called " Powers That Be", tellinst of the serious risks involved in plutonium croliferation.

Pacific Gas:&iElectric subsequently had to pay out $300,000 plus costs & attorney's fees, as defendant in a libel suit.

Who eventually pays?

The people.

Now I see that there has been $25 million ok'd for Three Mile Island claims for the 1979 accident.

f Yesterday, at n meeting of the San Luis Obispo Supervisors, a oro-nucieni Supervisor made a sneering covment abott the pro-testers at Diablo Canyon as "nneding a haircut and a bath".

M'ny of those protesters have been there for five or six days, living under the most primitive conditions, jeopardizing their jobs, schooling, income, safety, and knowing that they may be arrested and treated ar," criminals".

I suopose that the

/ g,pupervisor would have made the same remark about Albert Einstein, v

i Xgo, as I renember, was also bitterly opposed to nuclear power.
