P. O. Box 7116 Cotati, California 94928 October 21, 1983 To: Alan S. Rosenthal Nuclear Regulatory Commission

Dear Sir,

I have recently learned that you will soon be meeting to discuss reissuing the low-power test license for Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant in San Luis Obispo, California. I am surprised you can even consider this. The plant has been found to have over 300 design errors and, as I understand it, was built before the presence of the Hosgri fault was even factored into consideration. In my mind, the combination of these factors makes Three Mile Island look like a safer bet, and I remember how bad that incident made you look. This plant doesn't even have the support of most of the surrounding community.

I really hail you for claiming to adopt a new, get-tough policy with the nuclear industry. I don't see why, in the light of this, you don't tell the boys from Pacific Gas and Electric that, in the interests of the health of the people, it would be ridiculous to waste any more time or money on this flaw-rid. den endeavor. I know you have done this before here in California: once at Bodega Head when a violent earthquake disproved the soundness of the location, and another time in Eureka, California.

We here in California are counting on you to protect us by your decisions. Please don't let us down. Revoke Diablo Canyon Nuclear Plant's license and order it shut down before we all regret your decision.

Concernedly Yours, k -

Denise C. Treppa P.S. I want everyone involved in this decision to hear my concerns. Please inform them about what I have written.
