Dear Sir:

A few days ago, a letter from Mothers for Peace alerted us to the fact that PG&E intends to store nuclear waste from Diablo Canyon, right there in the canyon. Naturally we were dismayed at this, for PG&E had promised that the federal government would find a place, removed from any community, to store the wa,te before Diablo went into operation.

We learned that:

1. PG&E plans to store five times as much waste as the waste pools were designed to hold.

2. The waste may have lost its efficiency, but it is still active: One hundred tons of danaerous, radio- l active stuff, to be contained indefinitely, in a' steel shell only k" thick. .

l

3. If stored improperly, the quantity and density alone, -)

of this spent fuel could create a nuclear disaster -  !

without the worse possibility of a maior earthquake.

l We feel that saving time and money is not reason enough to harbor a demon. Life itself is more important than that. Instead, we i

implore you not to allow radioactive materials to be stored' near populated areas in San Luis Obispo County. And certainly not in pools at Diablo Canyon which, by being overcrowded, could j affect everyone who lives n'earby. i i

ihe following are signatures of friends and neighbors who have .i read this letter and feel as we do. 1 Sine r. rely your,s ,. , (
