Noverber 2,1983 Nuclear Regulatory CaTmission Members c/o San Luis Bay Inn Avila Beach Road Avila Beach, California 93424 Gentlemen:

It is frustrating not to be able to leave my work at Cal Poly to make my presence felt at the hearings you are now conducting on Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant. 'Ihis issue is of uppermost importance in my life and relates directly with my concern for a healthy future.

I strongly oppose the plant's operation on these grounds:

1) there is NO viable solution to waste disposal!;
2) Diablo Canyon is yesterday's mistake - a bad investment being forced on the inhabitants of our County; and, as local residents are acutely aware of,
3) the construction and repairs are being " accomplished" under highly questionable circumstances involving individuals with limited responsibility to end results.

(This last point, by the way, is yes disturbing to those of us who do not profit in any way (financially), but have daily contact with Diablo workers, many of whom have no " investment" in a future and, judging from the attitudes expressed, could'nt care less about outcomes, locally or nationally!)

We love our home and community and will do whatever is necessary to protect our/its future! We are cognizant of the dynamics this situation presents to PG&E; we are not ignorant cf the management problem M&E and its stockholders are faced with.

Many of us have even expressed a willingness to bridge the gap between M&E and those opposing the operation of the plant. We, however, Et nQt willing to accept M&E's

" assurances" that the plant can, in fact, function safety and accurately; we y.ill no.t place our faith behind empty, self-serving interests; we cannot ignore the fact that the site rests on the edge of an earthquake fault!

If we hope to unite our community around the plant's role as a safe, efficient producer of energy, something has to " budge". My hope is that you, both as individuals and as a federal body, can honorably use your innovative potentials to set a precedent by creating a truly responsive, responsible alternative to nuclent technology. 'Ibe opportunity is-before you! (It has been suggested that many of the  !

inhabitants of California may gladly contribute a portion of their resources to help offset M&E's blunder, in order to rid _ themselves of a nuclear reactor "in their  :

backyard.")
