N RC-2009-0552-D RAFT-0092.html Diablo Canyon runs 24/7 to meet the energy needs of California no matter if we are in a droughtseason, a rainy season, or if it is night, or if there is no wind, and at the same time meet the stateand federal pollution EPA requirements.
Fossil fuel plants cannot meet the future EPA pollution requirements with the current technology.
Nuclear power provides 63% of the clean electricity inthe United States.Solar and wind have a very limited capacity to meet the energy needs of the future and therefore, must include Diablo Canyon which has a very high capacity factor of above 90%. California has aphilosophy of more renewables and energy efficiency.
All those things are great, but we know thatbig, base load power plants are what provide stability for the system. Renewables are intermittent and unreliable, and without having a real strong backbone of nuclear or fossil fuel, the reliability ofthe grid is jeopardized.
- However, fossil fuel is dirty. Nuclear is the only clean option. Nuclearpower has to be a part of any future clean energy mix, so our children and their children will haveabundant, reliable and clean energy.Diablo Canyon also provides clean water using desalination for the local community.

- problem, only a political problem.
The waste has no effect on theenvironment since it is contained in steel and concrete containers.
Waste has a very small footprint at Diablo Canyon. I would invite you to take a public tour and see for yourselves.
Diablo Canyon does not emit any radiation to the general public. No one has died from theradiation from a commercial nuclear power plant anywhere in the world, but millions die from thecombustion of coal, oil and natural gas to produce electricity at fossil fuel plants.Diablo Canyon produces about 10% of California's low-cost, carbon-free, very reliable electricity for nearly 3 million Californians without the approximately 6 1/2 million tons of greenhouse gasesthat would be emitted annually by a fossil fuel plant.fl le:lllC :/U sers/CAG/Dow nlaoads/NR C -2009- 0552 D RAFT- 0092.html1/

N RC-2009-0552-D RAFT-0092.html Diablo Canyon runs 24/7 to meet the energy needs of California no matter if we are in a droughtseason, a rainy season, or if it is night, or if there is no wind, and at the same time meet the stateand federal pollution EPA requirements.
Fossil fuel plants cannot meet the future EPA pollution requirements with the current technology.
Nuclear power provides 63% of the clean electricity inthe United States.Solar and wind have a very limited capacity to meet the energy needs of the future and therefore, must include Diablo Canyon which has a very high capacity factor of above 90%. California has aphilosophy of more renewables and energy efficiency.
All those things are great, but we know thatbig, base load power plants are what provide stability for the system. Renewables are intermittent and unreliable, and without having a real strong backbone of nuclear or fossil fuel, the reliability ofthe grid is jeopardized.
- However, fossil fuel is dirty. Nuclear is the only clean option. Nuclearpower has to be a part of any future clean energy mix, so our children and their children will haveabundant, reliable and clean energy.Diablo Canyon also provides clean water using desalination for the local community.
