I live only seven miles from Diablo Congon nuclear plant.

For the pest 9 yeers I have carefully monitored Dieblo Cenyon, Pacific Ges

& Electric, Celifornie's Public Utilities Commision end you -- the federal Nucleer Reguletory Commision. As we all know, this has been e long heul for PG&E. Yet, PG&E has not fought public fears with a sound record;

insteed, they have produced on abysmal record of mismanagement and poor plant operation. This hes increesed public opposition. Public shock et the 3-Mile-Island end Chernobyl nucleer eccidents heve also led to a lessening of trust for the NRC's earlier categorical statements about the probability of nuclear accidents.

Local residents know the nitty gritty history of Dieblo Congon: Diablo l

Canyon,in effect, being rebuilt three times! PG&E stock holders are in competition with rete payers for excusing themselves from the enormous I

finencial weste. Yes, the pressure is on. No federel " dump" is on hend end 3

PG&E, es alwegs, IS RUSHING AHEAD. This hurry-up attitude makes me l

i nervous. Will PG&E put their finencial concerns before safety?

I remember the ol' promise mede to local opponents: thet our beautiful Centrol Californie Coest would not become a nuclear weste dump site just

because e nuclear plant is here. PROMISES, PROMISES. And just like the f

ol' garbage borge, nobody wents to take the "weste." So.. now P.G &E. is esking you for permission to dump their -- end your - gerbege in our beckyerd, and for the next 30 yeers. "NO i MANK YOUP i

Put me on record:(1) the spent fuel pools were not designed for such increased use (2) yet enother eerthquake f ault hos just been discovered (3) the risk of the " sewed-of f-then-reinstalled" racks creshing in en

PG&E's plan to store at the plant site all of the high level radioactive wastes produced by the Diablo Canyon nuclear plant.
