Dear Mr. Palladino:
03 NOVJ g 19 THE DIABLO CANYON PLANT MUST NEVER OPEN!
2 u.s,M$Dd%:
This reactor is sited only 3 miles from an earthquake fault discovered after construction began.

Why did not the NRC stop construction immediately ?
4 w
Now a major flaw involving the stress analysis of pipe supports has been found. This flaw may affect the ability to withstand earth-quakes -- which occur periodically along the Pacific coast.
The PG & E Company, the builder has announced an indefinite delay.
HOW COULD IT BE THAT THIS PLANT WAS ISSUED A LICENSE 7 WHAT KIND OF INSPECTION DOES THE NRC DO ?
Your credibility is zero. You didn't inspect a major diagram. You weren't even able to find a major design flaw.
The Diablo Plant has a dozen other problems, including evacuation and plant security.
NO WONDER THOUSANDS OF DEMONSTRATORS WERE ANGRY THAT YOU DARE ISSUE A LICENSE.
You have callously put the 2. 3 billion dollars of the industry before the life of the citizens you are supposed to protect.
YOU MUST NEVER ALLOW THE DIABLO CANYON PLANT TO START-UP!
Sincerely, NAME Richard Lockwood ADDRESS 718 Division
