Dear Mrs. Bowers:

I was in San Diego Tuesday, on County business, and was not able to be present at the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Safety hearings.. If what I read in Wednesday's Telegram-Tribune is anywhere near a true account of the happenings at the hearing, then I must speak out again in behalf of the people.

The Telegram-Tribune reports that P-.G.GE. and'the Nuclear

While it is probable that the plans do "meet Federal requirements", in my opinion the public is really being conned if they believe the plans are "adequate" and that the simulated emergency test "successful".

2. The radio messages from the f iel d teams monit:oring the potential spread of radioactivity around the plant and Aviia Beach to the health officials in the E.O.C. were garbled and incoherent. Obviously, these vital transmissions wil I have to be heard clearly before the plan can be judged "adequate" and the mock emergency exercise "successful".

7. Meet ing "federal requi rements" means that P.G.F E. woul d onIy have to arrange medical services for employees injured on-side. I reit:crate again that there exist no emergency provisions for off-site nuclear accident victims, i.e., the general publ ic, in any of our hospitals at the present time.

The mock emergency test can only be judged "successful" in terms of the fact that a year ago, the Sheriff's Office did not even have the after 5 p.m. phone number of t: he Disaster Coordi-nator, George Silva.'ad we had a real emergency on August 18th, I have no doubt that our County response would, even with the best of intentions, been seriously inadequate in meet:ing not only the "f'ederal requirements", but, more important, 'the ne ds of the people of our County.

Governor State of California State Capitol Sacramento, California 95814

Dear Governor Brown:

Me strongly believe that you as Governor must exercise whatever options you have at your command to protect the welfare of the people of the County of San Luis Obispo, specifically, and of the State of California in general, from the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant.

Me .believe that the following reasons offer potential options which, either singly or in combination, your Honorable Governor might utilize to act in behalf of the people.

1. In November, 1973, the Public Utilities CoIrIIission, in behalf of the people of the State of California, requested leave to intervene in the matter of the application by Pacific Gas and Electric Company for facility operating license for Diable Canyon Nuclear Power Plant, Unit Nos. 1 and 2.

In that petition to intervene, it was argued that participation in that proceeding would, among other things, "~hei ~clarif the respective res onsibilities of the CPUC and the AEC in the consideration of environ-mental values" not earlier considered in previous decisions which predated the existence of the California Environmental 0uality Act of 1970 (CE0A).

of the P. G.

~securit CPUC 8

"b

, environmental and convenience aspects I ~i E. being a public utility, is subject to the jurisdiction not only for the initial approval and certification of such of the f<<h.

on-cnnoin operation,"

Honorable Edmund G. 8rown, Jr. February 7, 1979 Governor State of California Page 2 as stated in the 1973 petition to intervene. Thus we believe, prece-dent is set for the Governor, through CPUC, to intervene once again in behalf of the people.

Z. Mhile the CPUC reached favorable decision with respect to the construction, operation and maintenance of Unit 1 (Decision No. 73278, issued, November 7, 1967) and Unit 2 (Decision No. 75471, issued March 25, 1969) based on independent findings regarding safety and environ-mental implications of the proposed projects, much new information is available now, 12 and 10 years later, that was not known or even imagined at the time of those early decisions.

Primary among the new information not considered by the CPUC are the presence of the Hosgri Fault and the recent withdrawal of support by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission of MASH-1400 (The Rasmussen Report) which had been used not only to gauge the mathematical possibility of nuclear accidents but also to generate public support for nuclear power.

At the time the early CPUC approval was granted, the CPUC did in fact attempt to balance known environmental and safety hazards of the proposed facility against other public interest values such as the State's need for an adequate and economic supply of electric energy.

Me are suggesting'ow, 12 and 10 years after the original CPUC decisions, that: the environmental and safety costs have escalated',

public opinion about nuclear power has changed considerably; and last, but not least, the then critical importance of electrical power gener-ation, assumed by the CPUC at that time for Diablo Units 1 and 2, has also changed in current forecasts.

'e feel. therefore, and hereby implore, that in the public interes the Governor ask the CPUC to intervene and review its earlier'decisions and re evaIu-ate its earlier findings in light of current information.

3. In support of and/or in concurrence with the action requested for the CPUC above, we would also ask the Governor to request a public report from the Secretary of Resources Agency, pursuant to Health and Safety Code, Chap. 7.5, Art. 4, S.25736 and 25737 cited belo~:

I'l "S.27536. The secreta shall keen the Governor and various

. interested state departments and agencies and the cities and the peacetime uses "S.55737.

The secreta shall disseminate to the public factua I'

Honorable Edmund G. Brown, Jr. February 7, ].g7g Governor State of California Page 3 data and information and interpretations thereof concernirig atomic energy development and the uses of radiation in the state with the view of rovidin a reliable source of accurate information relatin to the benefits and hazards of such development and uses."

4. Me believe that the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant'.is: and should be considered as a limited resource which, much like our State' outer continental shelf oil, is better held in reserve until and if need for that particular resource ever outweighs the currently unresolved the environmental, safety and economic risks of exploitation. Me suggest that, rather than allow the plant reactor to go critical now, the Governor hold Diablo Canyon in a state of "ready reserve".

5- With the newfound "windfall" of deregulated natural gas from Texas, many existing California power plants could operate on clean natural gas, thus relieving the pressure for "cleanly" generated nuclear power.

6. The location of the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant in our County is requiring the expenditure of local tax monies for all sorts of previously unrecognized and unexpected State and Federally mandated County responsibilities. Among these are the preparation and implemen-tation of a Nuclear Accident Emergency Response Plan and Nuclear Emer-gency Evacuation Plan, the baseline monitoring of air quality at various off-site localities, the monitoring of radioactive waste transportation routes, the provision of specialized facilities and services for victims of off-site radiation accident exposure, specialized training for safety personnel, etc. All of these are adding to an already strained budget.

Me urge your most serious consideration of these suggestions. The final licensing hearings, now being conducted by NRC, will be completed by the end of February. NRC decision is expected by April 1st. You alone can make a difference in the outcome of that decision. Me urgently request an audience with the Governor for ourselves and a wide-based representative group of County citizens who share our concerns and urge your Honorable Governor's intervention.

Sincere yours in the public servic KURT P. KUPP DR. RICHARD J. KREJSA Supervisor, Third District Supervisor, Fifth District RJK:mls

Governor, State of California State Capi tol Sacramento, California 95814 Gear Governor Brown:

On February 7, Supervisor Kurt Kupper and I wrote a letter which Kurt hand-delivered to your o'ffice on February 8th. In that letter we requested an audience for ourselves and a representative group of County residents who share our concerns regarding Oiablo Canyon and its imminent operation. Me also recommended several actions that you, as Governor, could logically and, we believe, politically take which would demonstrate your previously acknowledged and expressed concerns about nuclear power.

Time is growing short. The HRC Atomic Safety and Licensing Board will announce its decision soon on the ooerating license at Oiablo.

Mhat are we to tell our consitutients who, having exhausted all legis-lative remedies, are now relying on the Governor of their State to demon-strate his concern'? At .the present time all we can tell them is that the Governor has not taken the time to reply to our. letter of urgency, which has been on his desk for six weeksI I urgently request an answer to our letter. Kurt and I will both be in Sacramento on April 5th and 6th attending a CSAC conference.

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Couamousz Ai~mx i Sm Luis Osisi o, Caxzsoaim 93408 i S05-343-1530, Exz. 321 March 28, 1979 The Board of Supervisors %feathers of ihe Bocfd Courthouse Annex HANS HKII MANN San Luis Obispo, California Steve Mac E1vaine KURT P. KUPPKR HOWARD MANKINS Honorable Colleagues: DR. RICHARD J. KR~MSA Recent testimony at a Congressional Seminar on Low Level Radiation*

concludes that prolonged exposure to low level radiation has a far greater chance of increasing cancer mortality rate than was previously believed possible. The Sternglass Report, as it has become known, demonstrates an unexpectedly high degree of sensitivity of infants, young children and older citizens to low level radiation associated with nuclear facilities in Connecticut.

..."The pattern of sharply rising cancers in southeastern Connecticut and nearby New England is likely to be due to the strontium 90 and other fission products that escaped from the Millstone and Haddam Neck Nuclear reactors" says the report.

Furthermore, according to Dr. Sternglass,

"...sharp local rises in 'cancer in Connecticut are connected with the localized releases of airborne radioactivity from defects in the nuclear fuel."

L Among the conclusions of the report is the following:

"This means that the most serious of all radiation exposures are not bri.ef medical x-rays, diagnostic isotope tests for the adult, but prolonged environmental exposures to fallout accumulating in the body from nuclear bomb testing and releases from nuclear facilities acting slowly on the infant in utero, the young child and the oldest individuals in our society."

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission Safety and Licensing Board will soon announce its decision on the operating license at, Diablo Canyon.

I believe that, the Board of Supervisors has several obligations to the people of this County which must be fulfilled before any plant goes into operation. The following assurances should. be given the people:

1. That no environmental contamination will occur from the operation of Diablo Canyon.

~ "Cancer Mortality Changes Around Nuclear Facilities in Connecticut" by Dr. Ernest J. Sternglass, Prof. Radi.ological Physics, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, 10 Feb. 1978.

,Board of Supervisors Page Two March 28, 1979

2. That appropriate monitoring procedures are being undertaken and base line data is being gathered before the plant opens.

3. That these peacetime uses of nuclear energy are as safe as the industry would have us believe.

4. That appropriate data on cancer mortality rates are being tabulated for our County now, and that adequate data will be collected during the operation of the plant.

In obtaining these assurances, I be1.ieve we can and should seek the assistance of the Governor of the State of California. The State Health and Safety Code, Chapter 7.5, Article 4, gives the following responsi-bilities to the Secretary of the Resources Agency:

Section 25732....The departments and agencies of the state which.

are concerned with atomic energy development, and the cities and counties, shall keep the secretary current1,y informed as to their activities and programs relating to atomic energy development.

Section 26766. The secreiare shall keen the Governor and various interested stateMepartnents and agencies and the cities and counties informed of public and private activities affecting the peacetime uses of atomic energy.

Section 25737. The secretary shall disseminate to the public factual data and information and interpretations thereof concerning atomic energy development and the uses of radiation in the state with the view of providing a reliable source of accurate info~tion relating to the benefits and hazards. of such development and uses.

I believe we should ask the Governor to direct, the Secretary to issue such information.

Furthermore, the State Health and Safety Code, Chapter 7, "Control of Radioactive Contamination of the Environment" offers the following policy statements:

Section 25600. The legislature finds and declares that radioactive contamination of the environment may subject the people of the State of California to unnecessary exposure to ionizing radiation unless it is properly controlled. It is therefore declared to be the policy of this state that the State Department of Health Services

'nitiate and administer necessary programs of surveillance and control of those activities which could lead to the introduction of radioactive materials into the environment.

Section 25609. The department shall monitor radioactive materials in the environment, including radioactive materials in such media as air, milk, food, and water in locations and with such frequency

ae Board of Supervisors Page Three s~ e B1arch 28, 1979 t

as the department may deem necessary to determine radiation exposure to the people of the state from such materials. fe Section 25610. The department shall, at least once a month, make public to news media the results of its monitoring of radioactive materials.

1i'hile I am aware that some monitoring is accurring in our County, to my knowledge such information is not, made public to the news media by the state, either monthly or even yearly. I .would ask your Honorable Board to ~re uest the State Health'neoartment perform its statuatory duty'nd finally, I would call your attention to the following:

Section 25607. No person shall operate a nuclear reactor nu,clear tuel reprocessing plant or,any installation, as defined by the department, which could, as a result of routine operations, accident, or negligence, significantly contaminate the environment with shall be submitted to the department for review and acceptance as to its adequacy.

Nith regard to the above section of State Health and Safety Code, I believe our Count should be informed as to wnether such a plan has been submitted to and accepted by the State.

I also know that Pacific Gas and Electric Company has at least two "real-time" monitors, the data from which has not been made available to the County Health Department nor to the A.I.R. Research Group at Cal Poly, both of whom has requested it. I think our County is entitled to receive that infarmatian and would ask your Honorable Board to formally request it from P.G.5 E. so that by the Cal Poly A.I.R. Group.

it may be made public and be analyzed Thank you for your consideration oz this most urgent request.

R ~ ectfully submitted, DR. RICHARD . A Supervisar, Fifth District cc: Honorable Carol Hallett, Honorable Robert P, Nimmo Honorable Leon Panetta Honorable Alan Cranston

RJY. MOTIONS That we immediately request the Congress through our Congressmen and Senators and Governors, to suspend all current deliberations of the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board regarding the operating license of Diablo Canyon until the Congress, not the HRC, thoroughly reviews P-G EE's Diablo Canyon Emergency Plan, and our own plans, in light of the Three-Mile Island nuclear disaster.

2. That we immediately request Congress, through our Congressmen, Senators and our Governor, to thoroughly evaluate the ability of the HRC to take reasonable safety precautions in behalf of local populations. And further, that the concept of the Low Population Zone be eliminated and in its place substituted a workable strategy that would reasonably protect the population from unexpected releases of radioactivity from a functioning or malfunctioning nuclear power plant.

3. That we immediately request of Congress, through our Congressmen, Senators and our Governor, to thoroughly reevaluate the HRC licensing reguIations in light of the Three-Mile Island tragedy.

Dear Dick:

Thank you for providing me with a copy of the report regarding the level of preparedness of the County of San Lu9.s Obispo in response to a nuclear emergency.

I am concerned as you are that a nuclear disaster would cripple 'the surrounding community unless extensive preparedness pzogzams are in place. I Know that you are aware that seve al times in ~ past, nuclear plants have experienced failures that almost evolved. into a catastrophic release of radioactive elements.

The sad irony is that we have committed untold millions into en-suring that nuclear plants are developed in the safest method possible, yet local communities aze not adeouately assis ed in enacting preparedness pzograms.

Thank you for bringing this matter to my attention and I can assure you that I will continue to acanLine what the federal role should be in assisting local ccammxities pzepa e for a nuclear emergency>>

Dear Dick,

Belated thanks for your letter enclosing a copy of your report to the San Luis Obispo Board of Supervisors concern-ing nuclear dis'aster preparedness. I appreciate the effort you have made to share with me your'oncern about the lac1 of coordinated programs to deal with the possibility of nuclear disaster.

I have been aware of the geological and other problems in-volved in the construction of the nuclear generating station at Diablo Canyon for same time now. I am continuing to keep a watchful eye on the situation to determine on the part of the U.S. Senate may be appropriate.

if any'ction

. In the case of local-state-federal nuclear disaster 'contin-gency plans, I feel that part of the solution to the problem

'ay rest in the effective application of nuclear safeguards at all nuclear power generating facilities. I am following the activities .of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission 'losely and the Energy Research and Development Administration---

as well as the programs that have been enacted by the Calif-ornia State Legislature --- which address the problems of

. nuclear safety. 'hese programs should give us a good indi-cation as to what type of additional disaster preparedness, if any, may be needed.

Thanks so much for sharing your concerns about this matter with me, Dick. I appreciate your thinking of me.

With best wishes,'ordia j p 1
