MOTHERS FOR PEACE CONTENTIONS ON PACIFIC GAS & ELECTRIC COMPANY'S REQUEST TO INCREASE WASTE STORAGE BY RERACKING THE SPENT FUEL POOLS 1.
The Applicant has not adequately considered alternatives to the proposed reracking of the spent fuel pools.
In particular, because of the increased danger. posed by the close proximity of the Hosgri fault, alternatives should be considered.
Some alternatives include:
The contracting out or trans-shipment of spent fuel a.
for storage at a government owned spent fuel facility; b.
Derating the facility or reducing the plant output and thereby reducing the generation of spent fuel.
Closing or shutting down the faciities.
c.
2.
The Applicant f ailed to evaluate the overall cost (in terms of both Sealth effects and potential associated medical costs) associated with the additional exposures of the plant personnel to increased radioactivity levels due to the increased spent fuel storage.
3.
No analysis has been made of the overall costs (in terms of both health effects and potential associated medical costs associated with the additional exposures of persons off the Diablo Canyon site to increased radioactivity levels due to the increased spent fuel storage.

The possibility of increased harm due to sabotage of the spent fuel pools will necessitate increased security measures over and above current forces.
