a Dr. Nunzio Palladino, Chairman Nuclear Regulatory Commission 1717 H Street Washington, D.C.

20555

Dear Dr. Palladino:

It has recently come to my attention that several California legislators have written the Commission to urge further delays in the licensing of the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant, built by the Pacific Gas and Electric Company.

As a long-time member of the Senate Energy and Public Utilities Committee and its chairman for many years, I want you to know that'these letters do not represent the policy of the California Legislature, nor do they necessarily even express the opinion of a majority of its members.

I, for one, do not agree that there is any reason to further delay the licensing of Diablo Canyon.

To the contrary, if, as I have read, both the NRC's staff and l

independent experts have verified that the plant it now safe and i

ready for fuel loading, then it would seem to me that the Commission has a public obligation to allow that fuel loading to proceed expeditiously.

l l

I urge you to resist efforts for further unnecessary delays, and l

to allow the benefits of the Diablo Canyon facility to be made l

available to consumers at the earliest possible time.
