2415 Leona Avenue San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 January 25, 1980 To Everyone Concerned:

Enclosed is a copy of some suggestions that were made to a local NRC.staff hearing on the subject of Diablo Canyon and its emergency plan.

I'eel that now is the time to take some action and establish all the effects of low level radiation on.the plant and animal life in the vicinity of a nuclear reactor.

Significant research is being done in the Diablo Canyon area on the effects of warm water on marine life.

That impartial study, like the one l

am proposing, must begin before the reactor goes into, operation in order to establish base-line conditions.

I would urge your immediate action and authorization of such a study so that an unbiased and rational scientific view may settle some of the controversial effects of nuclear reactors.

l am asking this from a concerned point of view of those that do not know and would like to find some scientific evidence on which to base some action.

Your personal response would be much appreciated.

NRC EHERGENCY Emergency TypicallySudden Occurrence Impacting many people Unexpected "Dire Straits" Dire Straits Can end up here by a "slow" emergency if no planning is done to monitor events.

We the people, of San Luis Obispo County, may end up in dire straits through slowly accumulating low level radiation!

What is needed is a plan, implemented now and carried on as long as Diablo exists.

The Plan What:

~When:

permanent, on-going, scientific, monitoring of the radiation levels in the county with regular, public reports.'ow, before Diablo is licensed and then forever after.

Where:

. All over San Luis Obispo County, not just at the reactor site.

The locations should be chosen with consideration of the prevail ipg winds, population centers, food-crop/agricultural

areas, etc.

How:

1.

Establish base.radiation levels at/in all chosen sites now.

2.

Take continuous ground and high altitude air radiation counts.

g 3.

them for occurrence of known radioactive elements/compounds that are associated with "normal operation" of and "unscheduled.emmissions" from a nuclear reactor.

4.

Select a statistically valid sample of the population and do whole-body counts now and at regular intervals.

5.

Honitor the cancer-related disease and deaths in the county.

~

Who:

This project should be operated gaby an independent agent that is answerable only to the'ublic of San. Luis Obispo county. 'erhaps it could be a contract with Cal Poly - substantial research is involved.

The project should be adequately funded by PGsE as part of the Emergency preparedness plan.

Why:

If Diablo is as safe as claimed, then this plan will prove it.

If problems 'occur, the public will be insured of finding out about them-e before it is too late.

Regular reports (graphs, comparisons to other reactor sites, etc.) easily understood by the layman should be published

.in the Telegram-Tribune.and in PGSE's bulletin that is mailed with our electric bills.

ACTI.ON ITEHS 1.

Requi.re such a study to be done.

2., Set up a panel to let the contract.

3>>.Establish PGCE's founding.

4.

Get going before Diablo is licensed in order to provide-a normal base line.

'5.

Do not license Diablo until this study has the base line readings.
