Dates 1/11/97 12:27pm Subjects OIL and Nuclear Plants John:

l-This sounds like a real concern. What would happen if there was a l major oil spill that disables all cooling water to a plant such l as SONGS or Diablo Canyon? How long could they safely operate with a loss of all cooling water. What would be available for i i long term cooling? ,

Dear Paul,

Have you heard or have more info about the disaster on west coast of Japan vis a vis the oil slick being sucked into the Nuclear Power Plant?

Japan-Russia Relations have never been good-and this disaster will not do that any good.

l ,

What would happen if oil got sucked into the system?  !

l Sounds very very bad, if not down right catastrophic eh? l l

Probably not considered in FSAR...

Here on the west coast we could concievably have that kind of j disaster or even another Santa Barbara Channel Oil Platform  !

l blowout...right into Diablo Canyon's intakes...

l A seismic event could also precipitate such a disaster. .

l After Northridge Quake, oil production in some wells soared 4x! j I and gas production was spectacular...just the boost that could i cause an offshore blowout in the fragile oil resevoirs... l I don't think any of these scenarios have ever been considered or planned for and perhaps they should be immediately considered by NRC.
