-u<Li%.,rt[, .¢,qC ....-HrF,'2"General CommentFrom:Daryl GaleLos Angeles, CATo: The NRC EIS Team,Let us be proactive and not reactive (like TEPCO and the Japanese Government regarding theFukushima disaster)

!It will be so much less painful, less expensive, less stressful to the local population and theworkers .... to not relicense Diablo Canyon now!It is far better to deal with the economic/labor issues and the nuclear waste repository issues in thepresent, from a position of strength and consideration than in the aftermath of an earthquake,

tsunami, sea level rise accident or fire/mechanical release which will involve compounded

injuries, possible deaths, radiation leaks, transportation nightmares and hysteria and other unforeseen results.We are currently going through a major energy transition

.... As we segue away from fossil fueluse, it is true that we will still need to use some natural gas as a bridge fuel and at night. Batteryfile:lllC

/U sers/C AG/D ownl oads/N RC- 2009- 0552- DRAFT- 0090.html 9/1/2015 N RC-2009-0552-D RAFT-0090.html technology continuously keeps improving and we can stem the worst effects of climate change, ifwe band together and recognize the necessity of acting on mitigating it. (I live in a solar apartment and drive an electric scooter)People in general prefer the status quo and are not interested in the stress of making major personsacrifices or behavioral changes unless they are mandated or incentivized through the media, thegovernment, patriotism or financial gain!It is up to our federal and state governments to lead the way so we do not fall victim to a major.environmental catastrophe at Diablo Canyon. We watched and still watch in horror themismanagement, cancer rates, continual dumping of radioactive water and the 230,000displaced/evacuated residents of the Fukushima area.Lets not turn the beautiful, tourist destination of San Luis Obispo into a disaster when we have allthe data and recent warning signals from the ongoing tragedy of Fukushima.

It is time for a strategic shift. We need to find a way and a place to move the nuclear waste fromDiablo Canyon and San Onofre off the beaches, away from a high density population area and asfar away as possible from the excessive amount of earthquake faults that characterize most ofCalifornia.

We need seriously focus and do research on the nuclear spent waste issue: the securement, thetransportation and a permanent repository for it!Thank you for listening to our testimony on August 5, 2015 and considering the viewpoints ofcitizens who live, work, recreate and deeply care about the safety and future of California.
