3 JUDGE BECHHOEFER: This Licensing Board is here to j 4 resume the limited appearance statements that we started l i
5 last Wednesday. We didn't get through quite a few of the l 6 people who had signed up. So for those who may not have ;
7 been here, let me introduce, again, the members of the 8 Board.
9 On my left is Dr. Jerry Kline, an environmental 10 scientist. On my right Frederick Shon, a nuclear engineer. i i
11 My name is Charles Bechhoefer. I'm an attorney and Chairman i
12 of the Board. ;
i 13 As we mentioned before, the statements should be i 14 approximately five minutes; no longer, if possible, because l 15 this is the last occasion we'll have to take statements like ,
16 this. I don't know how many people will end up showing up, i
17 but we would like to get through as many as we can. !
18 Everybody, if possible.
19 The statements are not evidence, as such, but we l 20 can ask the parties to look into various things or the j i
21 parties can do that voluntarily, if they wish, for matters l 22 that are not now within the scope of the contentions before l 1
23 us. ;
24 I guess we'll begin just continuing the list, j l

i 2 JUDGE BECHHOEFER: Okay. If he shows up later, ,
1 3 that's okay. Nancy Culver. I assume you will be speaking 4 individually.
5 MS. CULVER: Yes. l 6 JUDGE BECHHOEFER: Because your organization has ,
7 had quite a bit to say thus far. I 8 MS. CULVER: And I feel well represented in these ,
9 proceedings, but I am a member of Mothers for Peace. I'm .!;
10 Nancy Culver. And I just couldn't let you leave town !
11 without taking an opportunity to say something myself as an
{
12 individual. This is not within the scope of the 13 contentions, which I think are far too narrow and threw out j 14 too many things, anyway.
' O 15 First of all, last week, a couple of Diablo Canyon i 16 employees said a couple of things that really got my back up l 17 ant I thought I cannot let those go unrefuted, because.they j 1
18 are in the written record of this hearing. So I thought I'd j 19 start there.
20 We were told that all kinds of dreadful things
- 21 will happen if Diablo Canyon is not to operate. Global 22 warming will increase and we will have to replace the power 23 produced by Diablo with fossil fuel plants.
24 In a word, these things are absurd. The 25 California Energy Commission, the Public Utilities 1

i
1931 1 Commission of this state know that California and all of the 2 western United States has a significant oversupply of 3 electric generating capacity right now and that is expected 4 to continue well into the next century.
5 In addition, the potential contribution in energy 6 supply that can be made by greater efficiency and 7 conservation is only beginning now to be realized. Its 8 potential is almost endless and PG&E, they're slow learners, 9 but they are seeing handwriting on the wall and they are 10 pushing their conservation programs very hard.
11 We don't have to choose between the ills of fossil 12 fuels and nuclear energy. It's a false choice.
13 Second, to suggest that nuclear power will help 14 slow global warming because it produces no greenhouse gases 15 is a joke. Consider the embedded energy in a nuclear plant, ;
16 particularly concrete and steel, of which much of the plant f l
17 is built and two of the most energy-intensive materials that I 18 we've ever developed.
19 Because of this, nuclear plants probably cause, if 20 not directly produce more greenhouse gases than any 21 conventional power plant.
22 But what I really wanted to talk about tonight --
23 there are so many things to talk about, so I selected one.
R24 A funny thing happened on the way to this hearing, which 25 began for us.nearly a year ago. We learned about the ANN RILEY & ASSOCIATES, LTD.
Court Reporters 1612 K Street, N.W., Suite 300 l Washington, D.C. 20006 I (202) 293-3950 '
i
1932 1 existence of a private business called the Institute for 2 Nuclear Power Operations or INPO.
3 It seems that this business does comprehensive 4 assessments of nuclear plants when hired by the plant's 1
[ 5 owners. Since some of the assessments done at Diablo Canyon 6 by this organization involve plant maintenance, we requested j 7 copies. This seemed like pertinent information.
I
! 8 PG&E refused, saying these INPO reports were very 9 frank, this is their words, honest and self-critical. So 10 they didn't want them to be made public. Now, I find this
( 11 confusing because I' thought the job of the NRC was also to i
l 12 do frank and honest assessments of Diablo Canyon and all 13 nuclear plants, and its reports, of course, are public 14 record. We can all see them l-15 The more vigorously PG&E fought to keep these 16 reports secret, the more it began to look to me like INPO l
l l 17 reports constitute a second set of books, the set you keep 18 under the counter and don't show the auditor. If both the
! -19 NRC and INPO assess nuclear plants, but INPO's reports are 20 too frank to be made public, what is the function of NRC b
l 21 assessments?
l 22 Are they mere window dressing, while the real 23 assessments are kept behind closed doors by a private 24 company that has no power to regulate, no accountability to 25 the public? This is one more way in which the public, which ANN RILEY & ASSOCIATES, LTD.

I was never asked if we wanted this nuclear plant, is kept out )
l 2 of the loop, out of the information loop, and I can't 3 . understand the rationale for INPO documents being secret or ,
l 4 any other assessment of a nuclear plant being kept from the l i
5 public that has to live with the consequences. !
6 Thank you.

8 JUDGE BECHHOEFER: Just to note for the record, 9 the particular document in question was turned over to the
. 10 Mothers for Peace under a protective order, but they at 11 least have seen it.
12 MS. CULVER: But it will never be public because -
13 -
14 JUDGE BECHHOEFER: It will not be public, but it i
15 ~ may well play a part in the proceeding. We don't know that i
16 yet. We tried to do our best on that one. Scott Torrey. !
17 FROM THE FLOOR: He won't be here till later.
1 18 JUDGE BECHHOEFER: Camina Tripodi.
19 MS. TRIPODI: I'm Camina Tripodi. Dr. Faye 20 participated in a lawsuit filed by Earth Island Institute 21 against Southern California Edison, which operated the San 22 Onofre Nuclear Power Plant in northern San Diego County. It 23 was based on a California Coastal Commission study that 24 found marine life is being harmed by effluent discharges 25 from the plant in violation of the Clean Water Act.

3 Dr. Faye reported that the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant
[
4 releases a similar volume of effluent, measuring one mile 5 square and 15 feet deep daily into the ocean. This !
6 effluent, which is radioactive, impacts marine life, by l 7 PG&E's own admission.
8 At this time, I'd like to present the Board with I i
9 this book called " Wildlife Watcher's Guide to San Luis !
10 Obispo County," as an introduction, but by no means a 11 complete description of the life forms for which there is no l 12 plan of evacuation in case of emergency at Diablo Canyon 13 Nuclear Power Plant. l 14 Because there is no plan to evacuate any other }
15 life form but human in the event of an emergency at Diablo 16 Canyon Nuclear Power Plant, the evacuation plan, in my view, 17 is inadequate.
18 Thank you.

20 JUDGE BECHHOEFER: Jesse Arnold.
21 MR. ARNOLD: Good evening, gentlemen of the 22 Licensing Board and members of the public. I'm here to 23 support the Mothers for Peace action in this and to speak 24 against the continued operation of Diablo Canyon.
25 You gentlemen have been very patient in listening ANN RILEY & ASSOCIATES, LTD.

1 to everything we've said, even though it hasn't come !
l 2 strictly under these two items that it's been narrowed down-f 3 to. ;
i 4 But I think the issue of plant maintenance does !
5 bear on what I see as a major problem, which has been spoken '!
6 of before, and that's the nuclear waste. In the early '60s 7 when this plant was being proposed, of course, we were told l 8 that it wouldn't take long to build the plant and it 9 wouldn't cost very much and the power would be cheap. ,
10 We have seen all of these things turn out not to !
11 be true. Also, I think we either didn't think about where i i
12 we were going to put the waste or we were assured that the. !
I 13 Federal Government would find a place to put the waste. l
\
14 But, of course, so far, they haven't. Everyone is saying O
15 not in my back yard and the waste continues to pile up here !
1 16 at the plant, f
17 Well, the waste storage pool will have to be 18 maintained. So I contend that that comes under the 19 maintenance heading. So the longer the plant operates, the 20 greater this problem becomes.
21 So on that basis, I think we should certainly 22 consider not relicensing or extending the license of this 23 plant and I would feel that you gentlemen could do us all, 24 in this county and in this country and in this world, by 25 deciding to close Diablo now.

7 JUDGE BECHHOEFER: Kathy DiPeri.
I 8 MS. DiPERI: I've got a couple concerns that I've I l
9 had for a number of years over the power plant. Sometimes I :
l 10 don't think much of hearings because I feel like public l
11 agencies listen and they make the rules and they accept what ;
)
12 they want and they don't accept what they don't want.
l 13 I don't know if you're here to listen to people
]
14 and really take their concerns. I'd-like to believe that )
O 15 you were. Knowing how the NRC, in the past,'has operated in i
l i
16 the country, I don't really believe that our real concerns ;
i 17 are taken into consideration, especially when things like _
I 18 INPO documents and stuff are not open to the public, but-19 they're only open to certain parts and certain people.
20
- But I have something that I'd like to talk about 21 that is a concern of mine. I'd like to pass you a copy of f
22 something that I made. It's a picture out of the employee [
23 manual of the pressurized water reactor system. The reason 1
24 I -- you guys probably know what it's all about, most of you 25 PG&E employees should know what it's all about since you're ANN RILEY & ASSOCIATES, LTD.

1937 :
1 1 familiar with all these kind of things and, being on the l 2 NRC, you probably know as much about the system as anybody I i
3 that works at PG&E.
4 There's two types of pressurized water systems, ,
5 reactors, the one made by Westinghouse and the one made'by j t
6 Babcock and Wilcox. One is a once-through system and one is !
7 a twice-through system. Back during the Three Mi3e Island j i
8 incident, there was a valve, called a manually operated I i
4 9 valve, that was on the pressurized system, that the hydrogen i
10 bubbles in the system ended up at the high point of the i
11 system. l 12 In the reactor, in the once-through system, what '!
i 13 happened when there was a melt -- when it started to melt l 14 down, the zirconium alloy started to melt and it started to l t
15 draw the oxygen out of the water; therefore, leaving behind j i
16 hydrogen bubbles. Those hydrogen bubbles had no place to go l
} l 17 but to the high point of the system, which was of major !
i 18 concern because it stopped the flow of the water through the j 3
19 system, which was a very serious problem and that was one of
]
20 their major concerns at TMI.
I 21 And I think people acted like they didn't know i i
l 22 where the hydrogen bubbles came from, but I think a lot of l i
23 people did know where they came from. Anyway, the concern {
1 1 24 that I have is that the Kimney report was done and it f 25 referred to this exact valve and when the Kimney report was l

i 1
1938 1 finished, because they didn't want to change that valve in 2 all the pressurized water reactors across the country 3 because it would cost too much money, they, instead, deleted l 4 the sentence from the Kimney report so that they didn't have.
l 5 to change this valve all across the country in every single 6 reactor. l t
7 And to this day, Diablo Canyon -- unfortunately, i 8 Diablo Canyon has a different system, but instead of one i
9 manually operated valve and one tube for the water to go i
10 through and instead of one high point for a hydrogen bubble 11 to stop and block the flow, there's 3,386 valves in the j i
12 steam generator, in which there is no valves to release in ]
13 case there's a hydrogen bubble that stops the flow.
i 14 And I think that's a very serious concern and I. )
I 15 think it was brought to the attention of the NRC and ;
16 probably a lot of other people, but it was kind of shuffled- l 17 under the carpet. Even 60 Minutes wouldn't put it on the j i 18 air because it was such a serious concern. j 19 I don't know '.iow much you guys know about, being 20 part of the NRC, but I think that there's a lot of people in 21 the public who know about it and I think that there's some 22 reel serious concerns about our safety in this community. I
, 23 think it's taken a little bit too lightly by people who get 24 paid well by PG&E, as well as the Safety Committee that 25 comes and let's people speak to the safety issues.

2 guys would take this a little bit more serious, and there's

3 a number of different issues, as well. It was in the paper i 4 a couple months ago and I know there's litigation going on }
5 right now, where there's belief that the evacuation plan, 6 the safety plan at Diablo was passed as part of a kickback 7 to Willie Brown for a gas contract, and there's litigation l 8 going on that.
l 9 I think that those are some'real serious concerns.
1 10 I think that people ought to think twice about -- if any of l l
11 you guys have a conscience, I think you're going to have a i 12 little bit more to handle than just -- well, let me say 13 this.

2 JUDGE BECHHOEFER: At some point, I will come back 3 to these names for people who arrive late. Liz Appleberg.
4 MS. APPLEBERG: Almost 20 years ago, in 1973, I, 5 along with Sandy Silver, filed to intervene in the licensing 6 procedures for the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant.
7 At that point, we listed, and this is in November i
8 of 1973, five concerns with the licensing of the plant.
I 9 They were effects of long-term low level radiation releases, 10 effects of accidents at Diablo, the Price-Anderson Act, and 11 the effects of not having insurance liability, disposal of 12 radioactive waste, and the existence of a possibility of 13 sabotage at the plant.
14 At that point, and it wasn't for several more 15 months that we filed an amended intervention form, that we 16 added in the seismic issues, and that was very early in 17 1974. At that point, we were very., very naive. We felt 18 that if we just were able to bring out the information about j 4
19 the problems with nuclear power in general and Diablo Canyon 20 specifically that that would be it, they would cease 21 construction of the plant and our county would be safe 3 22 again.
23 However, PG&E, in their response to us, quickly 24 addressed some of our issues. They said some of our issues 25 were not for an individual licensing hearing because t*.ey ANN RILEY & ASSOCIATES, LTD.
Court Reporters 1612 K Street, N.W., Suite 300 Washington, D.C 20006 (202) 293-3950
1941 1 dealt with nuclear power plants in general. And when you 2 are talking about a specific plant, you can only detail how 3 it's that plant specifically. They also said some issues 4 involved challenges to AEC. The AEC was the Atomic Energy ;
i 5 Commission, the forerunner of the Nuclear Regulatory 6 Commission. I i
7 Some subjects were under review at AEC rulemaking l; 8 hearings and some were not relevant to the operating i 9 licensing hearing, the Price-Anderson Act or the insurance, 10 if we had problems with that, we should take it up with our l l
11 Congressmen. ]
o !
l 12 Well, we moved onward without any attorneys. We J l
13 were given some of the contentions to go forward with. Some i I
14 of the contentions which we were not given are still i u
l C:) 15 problems that all of us in the community are concerned with; j l 16 the effects of.long-term low level radiation, the effects of l' l
17 an accident at the plant, not just safe evacuation, which we 18 were given as a contention, but the other effects, what 19 happens to our farmlands, what happens to our homes, what 20 happens to the people who cannot be evacuated.
21 As far as wastes go, I would just like to say that 22 PG&E, in July of 1974, in dealing with waste problems at 23 Diablo, stated "No permanent storage is contemplated on-24 site. The Board" -- the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board -

5 specific information, not only from PG&E attorneys. This we !
6 expected. PG&E attorneys are hired; they're part of i
7 corporate, they're hired by corporate to get the plant on-l 8 line so that their company can make its money. But we were 9 also hampered by attorneys from the Nuclear Regulatory i 10 Commission, who are supposed to be on the side of public j 11 health and safety.
f 12 And correct me if I'm wrong, but the NRC is 13 charged with public health and safety, not to protect the [
14 interests of PG&E. As a matter of fact, on Saturday, I sort !
15 of had a deja vu flashback when the attorney for PG&E i 16 objected.to one of the documents of the Mothers being put j 17 into the record. In my mind, I said the NRC staff, they !
18 should want to have the most complete record as possible so 19 that we can be protected. !

- 21. NRC attorneys objecting to a document being put into the f 22 record. Thank you for putting it in anyway. And that 23 reminded me of something that happened a few years into our 24 intervention. We, for the first few years, had no !

i 3 They took us off their mailing list, me and Sandra Silver, l 4 who had' intervened as individuals and as members of the 5 Mothers for Peace. They took us off of the mailing list for ;
i 6 all of the documents and then they said that, and this is 7 from the attorney from PG&E, "I felt it proper to delete r
8 her," being me, "from the distribution list, along with the !
i 9 other members," the other intervenors. "In any event, with !
i 10 all due respect to Mrs. Appleberg, I doubt that she can make ,
1 11 meaningful use on her own of the materials we are filing. {
12 In addition, they have all of these attorneys."
l 13 Well, I questioned whether the expense of serving ;
14 all of these peop? tould show up in the rate case. We here )
.O 15 at PG&E are constantly admonished to prune our distribution 16 list consistent with the dictates of due process and fair 17 play.
18 We had to petition the Atomic Safety and Licensing.
19 Board to get put back on the mailing list without any word 20 at all from the NRC staff as to whether this was fair to the 21 people of the County of San Luis Obispo.
22 So for 20 years, we've been raising the problems 23 and issues surrounding Diablo Canyon and nuclear power in 24 general. Nothing that PG&E has ever said has answered our 25 concerns. There still.is radiation being released. There l'

1944 1 still will be even more radiation released from an old plant 2 if they get the extension.
3 There still are problems with the emergency core 4 cooling system, which has never been tested in full-scale l
l 5 plants. It was never tested in smaller plants and Diablo '
6 Canyon is one of the generation of larger plants.
7 Twenty years ago, some of us were younger. We had 8 little children that played on the floor during the 9 hearings. Some of us are older. There are now intervenors 10 here who have little children. And I think that as long as 11 Diablo Canyon -- PG&E persists with Diablo Canyon, the 12 members of this community and the Mothers for Peace will be 13 here to hopefully stop it, but, if not, to make sure that it 14 runs a whole lot safer.

17 MR. LEWIS: My name is George Lewis. I've been a 18 professor of mathematics at Cal Poly for 26 years. I have 19 two concerns. One is that with all of the interesting 20 surprises that nuclear power has presented to the world 21 during its brief existence,- it seems to me that to extend 22 the license of a plant like this some 15 years before the l 23 present license expires is simply preposterous and 24 irresponsible, considering that during that time one would 25 learn a great deal about, among other things, maintenance. l O ANN RILEY & ASSOCIATES, LTD.

1945 1 Secondly, m extremely upset that during the last 2 20 years, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has refused to-3 face up to the problems of nuclear waste. One of the things 1
4 that you're taught if you're a mathematician, and I'm not a l l
5 good mathematician, I relic, but one of the things that you l 6 are taught is to recognize when there is a problem and when ;
7 that problem has not been solved. ;
8 [ Applause.] '
i 9 MR. LEWIS: But I don't need my Ph.D. in
- 10 mathematics to recognize that in this case. I simply needed f
.11 what my mother gave me during my upbringing. It's obvious. ;
12 And as a citizen, I'm outraged that the nuclear industry l
13 would be allowed _to proliferate, when you have highly i 14 hazardous materials with catastrophic potential, potential 15 that I don't even think you, sir, as a nuclear engineer, q 16 would say that we begin to appreciate. !
17 And to relicense the plant in the light of just 18 elementary common sense at this time is simply, to me, 19 unthinkable. Thank you very much.

'l to you a conversation I had with the emergency services j 2 people here in the county.
3 JUDGE BECRHOEFER: Make sure you identify yourself 4 for the reporter.
5 MR. KEMPTON: My name is Carl Kempton. I am a 6 former energy planner for the County of San Luis Obispo. I 7 was employed on a contract basis from June of 1990 to June 8 of 1991. Part of my employment responsibilities had to do 9 with the overseeing of petroleum storage sites, petroleum 10 transportation corridors, etcetera.
11 Within that information, I came across the fs :t 12 and did subsequent investigations and found out that there 13 is a significant problem with the evacuation plan of the 14 county. Neither the proponents nor the opponents of Diablo 15 brought into their considerations the existence of two tank 16 farms along evacuation lines.
l 17 Both of these tank farms will fail in a major 18 earthquake of the kind that people are fearing that would ,
1 i
19 breach Diablo. There are millions and millions of gallons 20 of petroleum products stored at both of these facilities.
e 21 One is in Morro Bay over Highway 1, the other is at Avila 22 Beach.
23 The one at Avila Beach contains in storage not ;
i 24 only oil, but gasoline and diesel. In the event of a major 25 earthquake, there is a high potential of fire associated O ANN RILEY & ASSOCIATES, LTD.

i 1951 l I with this. Should the fire occur, you will have Avila Beach 2 totally isolated and impossible to evacuate. There will be-3 a river fire potentially going down San Luis Creek, under !
4 the bridge, through which there is supposedly a northern 5 escape across through a dirt road. It will be impossible. i 6 Now, in taking this information to the emergency ;
i 7 services of this county, the response in this paper, and )
8 this response I also had on the phone, is that the county 9 does not have a plan to deal with an emergency just with 10 this tank farm should it collapse. They've never considered ;
i 11 it.
l 12 Just in an isolated context. We're not talking 13 about Diablo or anything. The response will be -- right i 14 now, if there was a major accident out at that tank farm, j l
15 they would look at the accident and then respond j 16 accordingly. That's a quote in the newspaper. That's a i
17' quote I've gotten over the phone. I I
18 This is a major flaw in the evacuation plan. To '
19 further illustrate the significance of this problem is that 20 there was a development to the south of this tank farm 21 wherein land was annexed by the City of Pismo Beach. There 22 was a line drawn by the Energy Division in this county as to
- 23 the northernmost extent that this land can be annexed 24 because of the flash point of explosion from the tank farm.

1952 1 approximately at least 400 yards, which means it goes over 2 Avila itself, which is highly populated.
3 There are no government regulations in the state 4 that have anything to do with these tank farms, because 5 they're " grandfathered" in. The 1989 earthquake that 6 occurred in the Bay Area, Santa Cruz, Watsonville, sparked 7 legislation in this state for retrofitting of buildings.
8 The lobby of industry in this state was powerful enough to 9 exclude industry from retrofitting, which means these tank 10 farms are still not regulated for earthquake safety. -
11 Chevron Oil, in response to a reporter's 12 investigation of this in Morro Bay, Chevron admitted that 13 there has been no seismic tests of their tank farm. They
. - 14 have no idea what their tank farm can withstand.
l 15 UNOCAL has yet to prove that they have done any l
16 sufficient studies. This is a major flaw and if this has l 17 been staring at us in our face, both the opponents and the 1
18 proponents have totally missed this and this is the first ,
1 19 time this is coming to you in public testimony. You threw f 20 this out as a contention from the Mothers.
21 This is serious, serious stuff on top of l 22 everything else which has come before you. The emergency 23 service plan cannot deal with a two-dimensional or three-24 dimensional problem.

l 15 then. So I call into credibility PG&E as purveyors of the 16 truth, because there's nothing that they're going to have to 17 tell us after that that we're going to accept as truth. ,
j 18 I'm wondering if anybody is not aware of why that 19 PG&E requests at this time, 15 years prior to the time their 20 license term runs out, that their license be renewed. Can 21 anybody doubt that they expect that it will be more 22 difficult to have that license extension approved each day 23 and each year from now on up until the end of that 15 years?

1960 1 It seems like with the amount of time and energy
\
2 and community money and maybe the money that we pay to pay 3 our bills and to pay PG&E, maybe it's gone up and maybe it 4 will go up even further if there was ever an opportunity to 5 use solar energy instead of nuclear energy.
6 I think that people in this community, especially 7 people that aren't working, people that, at this point, 8 don't have jobs, would be a lot more interested in putting 9 time and effort and energy into creating an alternate energy 10 source than having Diablo Canyon still functioning.
11 And the people that work out there certainly would 12 be included in this. It's a type of situation where 13 obviously if Diablo Canyon gets turned off, we're going to 14 need energy from somewhere, right? There's going to have to 15 be something that gives us energy.
16 It seems like even basic fundamental -- just 17 reasoning would be there as an alternate resource, and I 18 think that people are overlooking it and it needs to be 19 noticed and needs to be worked on as an alternate resource.
20 I think that everybody needs to also evaluate is 21 it worth it to put all of us in this danger. Is it worth it 22 to you? Can people sleep at night knowing that there are 23 millions of people or thousands of pecple whose lives are in 24 danger because of this?

1 simple questions come to mind. I'm sure they've been !
2 mentioned over and over again, but I'll say it one more .!
i 3 time. j 4 Is it common sense to run a nuclear power plant j 5 near an earthquake fault, regardless of all the so-called i 6 safety measures that have been worked out? Is it common I
7 sense to keep this plant functioning when we don't know how 8 to store the waste it's producing?
I l
9 One doesn't have to be a nuclear physicist to know !
10 that it is not common sense to do either of these things, {
11 and, yet, it is being done. Why? Could it be that like the 12 defense industry, Diablo Canyon, among other plants, 13 functions essentially, not as some would pretend, to serve !
i 14 the people of this county or, for that matter, of other O 15 places around the country and the world, but to make vast 16 profits for those who run them.
l 17 And as long as profit is the motive and not j 1
18 people, no power plant can be safe and especially not this '
19 one.
20 To appeal to your common sense would be an 21 illusion on my part. To appeal to your conscience would be 22 an illusion on my part, also, because it is not in your 23 interest to use either. But it certainly is ours. People 24 have more power than we suppose and with the tenacity --

4 I've spent probably, I don't know, quite a few hours since ;
5 last Wednesday's public comments writing and writing and j 6 writing all kinds of things and I probably have at least a j i
7 dozen pages of all the reasons why we shouldn't extend the 8 license and we should live a better future.
1 9 But I've sort of boiled it down to a simple thing 10 that I wrote just an hour before coming here. So I'll read 11 it, since I'm incredibly nervous. ;
12 I've been-an SLO resident for over 20 years and

I l 13 have witnessed the Diablo power facility being built and 14 operating. I've studied and graduated in areas that would O 15 allow my services valuable designing and construction such a .i 1
16 facility. I have many years of welding and construction 17 experience that could be of great asset to the power i
I 18 facility.
19 I even considered working at Diablo. I didn't 20 because I didn't want to be a part of something so
[ 21 potentially dangerous to the future of us all and other life 22 on earth.
23 Regarding the people that come to these things,.
24 the people that come forward to speak out at the comments at 25 this time, as I see it, are the people who have some vested l

1 interest in the plant, such as PG&E employees, relatives or 2 some other financially related tie to the nuclear industry.
i 3 Secondly, people that have nothing to gain except !
l 4 the future they would like to have others to live in and a !
l 5 future worth living in, hopefully free of toxic substances !
L 6 and a sustainable future that isn't primarily motivated by l r
7 power and money politics. Then, sadly, the remaining people 8 who don't speak out are the majority of the ones who are 9 misinformed, who don't know, don't care or don't have time l
10 to come forward.
11 This is the largest unrepresented group of people ;
i i 12 who are so busy with their lives and everyday living, they 13 just go along with whatever is given them. If they had j i
14 choices of where and what type of energy, I'm confident they O 15 would prefer a more benign source. {
16 Getting into the energy related things, the other !
17 choices have been incorrectly named or labeled as i i
18 alternative energy sources. Reality is they are the primary j l
19 sources'that are given false names to make the public !

{
21 the major and primary sources. !

f 3 The choice is very clear to me. Do not extend f 4 PG&E's license extension. Do not plan to or build any other 5 nuclear power facilities. Do not proliferate more nuclear f r
6 development. How much longer do you think it will take 7 before nuclear weapons will be small enough and readily i 8 available to very unstable minds who will not hesitate to i
9 use them? i 10 What would it have been like if a 1,500-pound 11 nuclear bomb was detonated instead of the conventional l
12 explosives at the World Trade Center? Stop the insanity.. i i 13 It is your job at the NRC to shape a better future. We, the l i
14 people, can do very little unless united.
O 15 Just because AEC was labeled NRC, you do not have )
16 to continue making the wrong choices. Nuclear power is 17 getting more expensive and can only get costlier as time 18 goes on. Who is going to pay for the cost of burying waste 19 for the next million generations?

2 can all go there to look at it. The company was in the 3 limelight several times during the '70s. A bribery scheme j 4 involving construction of a New Jersey pipeline led to i 5 conviction for four Bechtel employees. !
6 Unwanted publicity arose from revelation that ,
7 Bechtel had installed a 420-ton nuclear reactor vessel- ;
8 backwards. We're talking about a nuclear reactor here, 9 folks, not some four-year-old tying their shoes. !
i 10 Finally, in 1975, the U.S. Justice Department sued .
11 Bechtel for allegedly participating in the Arab boycott of '
12 Israel, a charge the company denied. In 1978, a lawsuit 13 concerning malfunctions at the Palo Sides nuclear generator 14 in Michigan cost Bechtel 14 million in settlement fees.
15 In addition, a 1984 Jones article suggested that
. 16 in attempting to secure nuclear power contracts in South 1
17 Korea, the company may have violated the 1977 Foreign 18 Corrupt Practice Act for the use of irregular payments. The 19 article also argued that certain Bechtel executives, who 20 later became top government officials, who may have known 21 the payments warranted investigation by the Federal Bureau

3 1965. It's called the Brookhaven Report. At this point, at i
4 that time, the Atomic Energy Commission was commissioned to i t
5 do studies to determine the consequences of a nuclear power ,
6 accident. l 7 A study had been done in the '50s and gave results f;
8 of what would happen in the case of loss of fluid and !

[j 11 of reactor -- the fact that reactors had been functioning 12 for so many years between the '50s and the '60s, what would 2
13 happen.
14 I would just like to mention some of the things (2) 15 form this report. More important than the fact that the i i
16 statistics were worse -- for example, they had no reason to 17 believe that the -- there was no reason to believe, in this 18 revision, that the results would be any better if there was 19 an accident at a nuclear power plant.
20 They examined all consequences of releases if 21 there were an accident. But even more important than that 22 was how were they going to deal with the results of the 23 statistics that they got, the fact that there would be no 24 reason to choose small releases of radiation rather than 100-25 percent release in the case of a large meltdown.

1 process and about the plants. I think, obviously, we have :
-O 2 technology that works out there and produces electricity. l
' I 3 It boils water pretty well and creates energy for us.
i 4 But in the long-term, to me, it's kind of an ,
i 5 antiquated technology. It may be state-of-the-art, but the 6 thinking that went into it, while maybe good, hasn't ;
7 resolved the decommission problems, what are we going to do !
B with the plant once it does close down and what happens to !
9 the waste. ;
10 Having lived in this area during the time it was i
i 11 being built, I thought it was rather interesting that the !
4 12 plant, at one point, one portion of it was built backwards 13 or upside down. Thousands of experts had reviewed plans and 14 checks on all that construction and probably thousands of 15 inspections, and, yet, years went by before that was ;
4 16 recognized as a problem.
17 It seems to me that with that in mind and other 18 problems, a good example, I think, is going to happen 19 tomorrow with this spacecraft that's going to fly by. Mars,-a 20 billion dollar investment, and maybe it's going to stop.and 21 take some pictures and do some analysis and maybe it's just 22 going to buzz on by.

f l f ;
GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS ROBERT MEZA._I AM SPEAKING HERE TONIGHT ,
oECAUSE I AM PRESENTLY GOING THROUGH A THIRD-PARTY CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT t AGAINST PGLE AND BECHTEL POWER CORPORATION. I HAVE NOT WORKED IN MY l
PPOFESSION AS A JOURNEYMAN RODMAN IPONWORKER SINCE NOVEMBER, 1983,
{
WHEN I WAS HURT AT DIABLO CANYON NUCLEAR POWER PLANT.
- i I WAS IN MY PROFESSION FOR 17 YRS. FROM 1966-1983 BEFORE I BECAME .
' INJURED WHILE PEING EXPOSEE TO TOXIC PAINT FUMES WHILE WORKING AT DIABLO. '
I I HAVE BEEN SENT TO UUMEROUS DOCTORS BY THE DEFENSE ATTORNEYS OF BECHTEL AND PGLE, AND ALSO BY MY ATTORNEYS AT THE TIME. THEY NEVER CHECKED ME FOR TOXICS AND METALS IN MY BODY. IN FACT, NY ATTORNEY AND THE DEFENSE t
ATTORNEY AT-A WORK COMP HEARING, AGREED TO SEND ME TO AN AGREED-UPON MEDICAL !
EXAMINER, TO GIVE ME A CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH. THIS WAS TOLD OUTRIGHT TO MY WIFE AND I AT THIS HEARING, AND MY WIFE HA3 IT ON TAPE. [
ON MY OWN I HAVE FOUND SPECIALISTS WHO SPECIALIZE IN NEUROTOXICOLOGY
' AND IMMUNOTOXICOLOGY. THESE SPECIALISTS TESTED AND FOUND TOXICS AND METALS IN MY BODY. THE SAME TOXICS AND METALS FOUND IN THE PAINT THAT WAS USED AT DIABLO. THESE DOCTORS ALSO TOLD ME THAT I HAVE DAMAGE TO MY KIDNEYS AND TO ;
MY LIVER BECAUSE OF THIS.
I AM THE ONIY ONE LEFT OUT OF SO WORKERS IN THIS CLASS ACTION SU"
.JUST RECENTLY I POUND OUT THE LAST TWO PLAINTIFFS SETTLED ON JULY I4, 199.. '
MY TRIAL DATE WAS SET FOR AUGUST 9, 1993 IN SAN LUIS OBISPO SUPERIOR COURT-
- HAD TO POSTPONE MY TRIAL DATE, BECAUSE OF THIS NEWLY FOUND EVIDENCE AND
. PERT WITNESSES. I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HAVE ALL THIS IN, IN TIME t FOR THE TRIAL.
- THE CAUSE OF OUR TOXIC EXPOSURE IS BECAUSE OF POOR VENTILATION, WHILE
- WORKING IN THE FUEL HANDLING BUILDING, AND OTHER BUILDINGS AT DIABLO.
THERE WERE AROUND"IOO WELDERS IN THE FUEL HANDLING EUILDING, AND ;
I 00 IRONWORKERS, HALF ON ONE SIDE AND HALF ON THE OTHER WITH NOTHING BUT -
A FETITICN BETWEEN US. "E WERE WORKING G DAYS A WEEK, 10 HRS. A DAY. A i SAFETYMAN AT DIABLO TOLD US THAT WORKING MORE THAN B HRS. IN THERE WAS !
VERY HAZARDOUS TO OUR HEALTH. THE AIR WAS SO BAD YOU COULDN'T SEE A WORKER !
20 FT. AWAY. YOU COULD JUST BARELY SEE AN OUTLINE OF HIM. WE WERE IN THERE FOR A SOLID WEEK. THE WORKERS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PETITION WERE GOING OUT FOR AIR ABOUT 2 HOURS AT A TIME, THEN THEY WOULD COME BACK IN FOR AN HOUR 'f i
OR TWO, THEN GO BACK OUT FOR AIR FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS. ETC. THIS WENT ON ALL WEEK. MEANWHILE, THE WORKERS WORKING ON MY SIDE OF THE BUILDING KEPT ON WORKING. WE WONDERED WHAT WAS GOING ON. THAT WHOLE WEEK GUYS WERE DROPPING
, LIKE FLIES, ME BEING ONE OF THEM. THIS HAPPENED THE LAST WEEK IN AUGUST, 1983.
I WENT DOWN AUGUST 30, 1983 AT 11 PM. WE FOUND OUT LATER THAT THE KID THAT t WAS HIRED TO READ THE METER DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO READ IT. ;
'I CAN IN HERE AND COUNTED 20 LAWYERS FOR DIABLO CANYON, THEY LOOKED KIND OF INTIMIDATING. AND ALSO THREE PEOPLE ON THE NRC PANEL. I WOULD LIKE i TO SAY THIS TO YOU IT PGLE AND BECHTEL CANNOT INSURE THE SAEETY OF THE !
WORKERS:IN THE PLANT, HOW ARE THEY GOING TO INSURE THE SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE !
OUR COMMUNITY AND SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES? IN OTHER WOEDS, ATTORNEYS FCR i
'")hBLO CANYON AND THE URC PANEL, THIS PLANT SHOULD NOT BE OPERATING NOW, MUCH !
LESS GET AN EXTENSION. AND IF YOU PEOPLL THAT I MENTIONED THINK IT IS SAFE, ;
THEN YOU SHOULD ALL SIGN A DOCUMENT STATING SO. SO IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT ;
HAPPENING LIKE AT 3 MILE ISLAND OR CHERNOBYL, YOU ALL CAN BE HELD ACCOUNTED ;
FOR , AND HAVE CRIMINAL CHARGES FILED AGAINST YOU, BY THE CITIZENS IN THE i COMMUNITY AND THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES. l t
i l
THE REASON I CAME HERE TO SPEAK TONIGHT IS BECAUSE THE SAME VENTILATION -l PROBLEM WE HAD IN 1983 IS.STILL EXISTING TODAY AT DIABLO. THIS WAS TOLD TO ME '
BY A WELDER WHO IS WORKING.THERE AT DIABLO NOWA'I HAVE IT.IN HIS DEPOSITION
.IN HIS OWN WORDS. ALSO, MY CONCERN FOR THE PEOPLE'IN THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY. '
I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO HAVE TO GO THROUGH WHAT MY FAMILY AND I HAVE GONE fROUGH FOR ALL.THESE YEARS.
THANK YOU ALL FOR LISTENING. I I
