[External_Sender] Diablo Canyon Nuclear Plant Relicensing
Dear friends,
the issue of embrittlement was brought to my attention by the Mothers for Peace. It was new to me, and it describes what happens to the materials in nuclear reactors after decades of bombardment by the electrons, hitting the atoms in the concrete and steel.
If the containment vessel at Unit 1 at Diablo needed to be shut down quickly, embrittlement could cause it to explode.
If you do copy this letter, please delete this preface part. Heres the letter:
Dear NRC commissioners,
may I direct your attention to the history of the NRC and the meeting that took place March 19th, 2013.
It was a public meeting presented as a webinar regarding the Palisades Nuclear Power plant. From the transcript, The NRC currently estimates that the following plants will exceed the Pressurized Thermal Shock screening criteria during their 20 year period of operation, beyond their original 40 year licenses:
- 1. Point Beach 2.. Palisades
- 3. Diablo Canyon
- 4. Beaver Valley The NRC recognized that unit one at Diablo Canyon is so embrittled that they stated it was in need of embrittlement testing.
Before 2013, Diablo Canyon was one of seven nuclear power plants not eligible to apply for license renewal because it could not satisfy the current NRC rule for pressurized thermal shock.
So the NRC changed the rule in 2013 to make renewal possible anyway.
However, the plant remains unsafe with a history of exemption after exemption.
Please fulfill your responsibility to keep California safe. Order that unit one at Diablo Canyon should be shut down immediately and testing should begin as soon as possible and that the relicensing application by PG&E should be denied.
As one who lives near this Nuclear Power Plant, I want to know that the plant is functioning at its top performance. Please make sure the plant receives the needed safety testing so that those of us nearby are not in danger of any accidents due to safety concerns.
Thank-you, Haila Hafley-Kluver, resident, Los Osos, CA 93402
