Gary Lawson G. L. Consultant 1173 Grubstake Drive Diamond Bar, CA 91765 December 4, 2012 Allison MacFarlane - Chairwoman U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555-0001
Dear Chairwoman Allison MacFarlane:
Today, California relies on nuclear energy for one-fifth of the state's electricity. With growing electricity demand, businesses in California will need even more clean, reliable and efficient electricity to keep running without interruption day and night. When operating, San Onofre Nuclear Generation Station provides up to 2,300 megawatts of electricity which equates to about 10% of the peak daily electricity usage in the region. Additionally, San Onofre has helped avoid 100,000 metric tons of smog producing pollutants and 180 million metric tons of carbon emissions.
After attending the NRC public meeting on October 9, reviewing related data and research, I am confident that Edison has embraced a blueprint to sustain an effective safety plan which would enable them to restart the plant at San Onofre. In addition, they have clearly demonstrated their willingness to work in harmony with the NRC to protect the action and safety plan. The employees strongly conveyed that they trust each other to work in the plant. Edison trusts them and I, without reservation, trust Edison.
Sincerely, Gary L Von
