[External_Sender] Scoping comment on Diablo Canyon My name is Jill ZamEk. I live in Arroyo Grande, downwind from dirty and dangerous Diablo Canyon.
It is a long-established NRC regulation that utilities apply for license renewal 3-5 years prior to license expiration in order to allow time to complete the safety and environmental reviews and accommodate the public hearing process before issuing the renewal.
The NRC staff has thus violated the Reactor Timely Renewal Rule in this case by issuing an exemption. The NRC has already approved license extension for Diablo Canyon for an indeterminate amount of time - and this without safety and environmental reviews and without a public hearing process.
So todays scoping meeting is hypocritical and deceptive. Youre asking the public for input on critical issues that you intend to shelve for years beyond license extension.
Youre asking the community to continue to live with the seismic risk which has not been fully examined. We remain without a determination of the type of fault that runs under the plant. New evidence points to the more destructive vertical thrust fault.
Youre asking the community to continue to live with a dangerously embrittled reactor vessel. PG&E has repeatedly failed to pull the needed samples to examine Unit 1s reactor vessel. And the NRC has repeatedly allowed for waivers and delays. Its been 20 years since that reactor vessel has been tested.
Youre asking the community to live with the generation and storage of even more high level radioactive waste in an active seismic area.
Youre asking the local marine environment to continue to live with the now-unlawful Once-Through Cooling system which warms the water and annually kills more than one billion fish in early life stages. Again, the Clean Water Act has been repeatedly waived to allow for continued operation.
San Luis Mothers for Peace has submitted a briefing paper which also addresses evidence showing that the energy from Dangerous Diablo Canyon is not needed, inhibits the growth of renewable resources, and is cost-burdensome to California rate and taxpayers.
I ask that you give serious study to these issues. Use your power and authority to protect public health and safety and to protect the environment.
