f i T-November 7, 1981 Dear Sir -

We urgently request the U.S. Government to open an independent investigation into possible design errors at the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant. Recent disclosures that the wrong blueprints were used would be shocking enough in any nuclear power plant they are even more so in this one built right next to an earthquake fault.

Apparently faulty designs, slipshod construction, and drugged out workmen at nuclear power plants are quite common (see enclosure).

Northern Illinois is the most heavily nuclearized area in the world -

l we are deeply concerned by the dangers we are exposed to o6t of sheer incomptance, negligence, and corruption in addition to those, inherent in even well built and managed facilities. We certainly believe that an industry wide investigation into design and construction standards is called for. We are hoping you will help initiate this.

Sincerely -

f lA

Dear Congressman.Goldwater:

I have read with concern in the newspaper that two serious design errors have been discovered at the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant.

I understand that the errors were discovered after the Nuclear Regulatory Commission had granted Pacific Gas and Electric Company a license to conduct low-power testing.

How could the NRC make such a mistake and why hasn't the license to conduct low-power testing been revoked?

It seems to me that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has failed to provide proper steps to make sure the public is protected.
