,i After many " cars of believing the line that nuclear power was g, c e
U and inexpensive, I have had the opportunity in recent years to d tu 4
research into the subject of nucicar power plants. My interest has been i
sparked by the partial meltdown at Three Mile Island, and the realization that I had been lied to and thoroughly )x'. sled by the people who have vested interests in the nuking of America. I have' found that:

There is no safe icvel of radiation exposure.

Every step of the nuclear fuel cycle releases radiation. -$

No nucicar power plant has ever operated without releasing m radiation to the environment.

The level of cancer, leukemia, and birth defects is N

correspondingly higher in cach stato that has been nucleari cd;
-.ii especially near plants with heavy releases of radiation.
5.
There is no proven way to safely store the fense amounts of radioactiva vastes for the thousands of years necessary to make them.: fe.
6.
We have suitable alternatives to nuclear power availabic now, including conservation, vind pcver, biomass, recycling, ocean thermal, Geothern.al, n@ tral gas, coal, hydro-electric, and a wide range or solar power sources, both active and passive.
For these and other reasons, I have had to change my opinion of nuclear power, there are some specif'_c problems concerning Diablo Canyon that make cc very opposed to the licensing <f this plant.
The specific proble=s at Diablo are:
1.
The Hosgri fault has not been fully explored, there is the possibility or an offshoot of that fault running directly under the plant.
2 There is no way to evacuad all the inhabitants of the San luis Obispo arca, in case of an accident.
3.
In case of radiation contamination the aospitals in that area are not prepared to handle the potential number of victims.
4 The plant is located upwind or some of the most valuabic agricultural land in the world, which could be contaminated g
for hundreds of yc m it is ciso located halfway between 960 oopulation centers, af million of people.
San Francisco s
and Los Angeles could be affected by the. major disaster

Therefore, fcr all of the abv/c reasons, I urgo you not to alicw this plant to go radioactive, Other plants in the world and this nation have been cotrierted to safe energy. The Diablo Canyon plant cculd be converted to run on natural gas or coal.
I request tha. this be done irrediately.
Sincerely, g
