Dear Mr. Alto:Thank you for your recent letter and for sharing your viewswith us 'regarding the necessity of licensing the DiabloCanyon Nuclear Power Station for operation. /

We would like to assure you that the NRC staff and theindependent Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards areworking as expeditiously as possible to res'olve questions'hich have been raised about the ability of 'the facilityto withstand earthquakes.

When this question is resolved, the Atomic Safety andLicensing'Board will resume the public hearing on PacificGas and Electric Company's application to operate thefaci'lity. At this'ime, it is not possible to predict.when a final decision will be reached.

We, of cou'rse, are aware of the problems the current droughtis causing and will cause in the coming months; -nevertheless,our primary consideration in this matter--as in all others—must be the public health and safety.

h

In the meantime, we are taking the liberty of 'forwardinga copy 'of your'letter for inclusion in the Diablo Canyonfile so that all parties to the proceeding will be aware ofyour views.

Sincerely,

Dear Gentlemen:

Because of the very serious drought conditions existing in SanJuaquin and Sacramento Valleys, we are extremely concerned aboutthe availability of enough electricity during the summer monthsto pump our vitally needed irrigation water from our wells.Almost-every day we read accounts in the newspapers that becauseof the lack of water in the mountains and 'behind the storagedams, the're simply will not be enough hydro-electricity to servethe normal needs.

We are a nurse'ry growing orchard trees in the field and regularweekly irrigation is a necessity if these trees are going tosurvive. Since the normal amount of electricity will not be

-'available through hydro-electric sources we must 'insist that ey'ery-thing be, done to ob'tain this electricity from other sources,.

We refer especially to the Diablo Canyon Power Plant which isunder construction by P.G. & E., and will ba ready to produce

empower

by'July 1 if it is qllowted to do so. We must insist thatthe priority for water in California is the number 1 priorityat this time, and that certain groups of dnvironmentalists whoare using all tactics possible to block the operation of thispower plant be put on notice that their wishes must be subordinateto the life and death requirement of water in California duringthis period'f drought.

'" that you can do.

Gentlem

Me are continually hearing reports from both government and p'owercompany officials that there will be a shortage of electricity thissummer. It .stands to reason that if the reservoirs are very .low orempty, hydroelectric power cannot be generated.

The shortage"of water for irrigation has increased the demand forelectric power for underground pumping. Me understand that in theSan Joaquin Division of Pacific Gas and Electric Co.

applications'or

new pow'er accounts and restoring old power accounts equals thehorsepower in use pr'ior to the importation of northern projectwater .

If it is true that the first of two units of. the Diablo CanyonPower Plant with a capacity of 1,000,000 hp could be ready 'forproduction .by July 1st, why has it not been cle'ared far operation?

If there are questions concerning earthquake safety, are the peopleinvolved with the seismic study working on an emergency 24;hour-per-day basis? '-If they are not, why not?

Me -are faced with. a crisis. Please give, this matter your immediateattention.Sincerely,MOOLF FARMING CO.

3-10-'77'HEREAS/

Califor'nia is and has been beset with a serious water shortage caused bythe worst drought in recorded history, and

'EREAS, all the peoples of California are and will be extremely affected throughwater shortages for domestic, agricultural, and electrical power generation use, and

WHEREAS, the lack of adequate electrical power generation will adversly affect theproduction of foods, fibers, and consumer goods, as well as providing the comforts of .

heat> lights, and air conditioning, and

WHEREAS, these shortages will cause an unreasonable strain on the economic balanceof our economy through increased demand for the shorter supply, and

WHEREAS, California has the capability of offsetting these adverse factors partiallythrough the implementing of power generation from the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Powerfacility,

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED the Hadera County Farm Bureau and its 1300 memberfamilies besiege the Governor, the Legislature, the Public Utilities Commission, andthe Courts of California to move swi.ftly to lift any and all bans, restrictions, andlegal in)unctions preventing the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant from operationsthat would supply electrical power te California.

The foregoing resdtution was unanimously passed by the Madera County Farm BureauBoard of Dire'ctors'4p their meeting on Tuesday, February 8, 1977.

Mr. John .StolzU.S.N.R.C..7920 Norfolk AvenueBethesda, Maryland

Dear Mr. Stolz:I'm writing this letter in regard to Pacific" Gas and ElectricCompany's Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant in San LuisObispo.

It is my concern that because of the drought conditionsexisting in California, many .people will be seriously

,affected by shortages of water and by shortages of"elec-tricity. Ironically, as the drought gets worse, the needfor electricity goes up.

My understanding of this problem so far is that P.G.8 E.has already obtained its needed permits from the Advisory,Commiss,ion on Reactor Safeguards and the Atomic SafetyLicensing Board. P.G. 8 E. ran into problems when theUnited States Geological Survey, out of Menlo Park,,foundthat, this plant was sited on an area of seismic activity.From what 'I".ve been to'ld, P.G,-8)~has made structuralchanges to account for this problem.

P.G.8 E. is now trying to get this plant's operationapproved by your Commission, the Nuclear Regulatory Com-mission, and then bring it up for public hearings. Theearliest possible date that the plant can begin operati'on,according to the Energy Resources Conservation and Develop-ment Commission,'s February of 1978;

What I vrouid liI)e )o do is offer my services to you in orderto speed up thig process and get this plant operating as werapidly approach summer. Any assistance I can give you,legislatively. or otherwise, please feel free to contact me.,

I'

Sincerely,

STAN STATHAM

'e Sirs!

I v1ew with great concern the fact, that PacificGas and Electric Company's Diablo Canyon'Nuclear Power Plantnear'San Luis'Obispo is anoarently not go1ng on stream in theimmediate future.

I have followed closely the oroblems associatedth'his nuclear power plant, have in fact visited the plant,

am building a home at Los Osos within a few miles of the plant,arid thus feel somewhat qualified to oomment intelligently onthe pros and cons of the start uo of the No. l unit.

It is quest1onable whether we in agriculture willhave sufficient energy'o pump the water needed to raise ourcrops this summer. The margin is rasor thin. Therefore, wefeel strongly the need for the energy this plant could provide.

I

Consequently, I strongly=urge that you do everythingin your power to quickly resolve the issues:keeping thi's plantfrom going on stream.

erely,

Gentlemen:

The seriousness of the drought in California is well known to everyoneregardless of how remotely they may be connected to agriculture. But for thoseof us who are directly involved in agribusiness and farming, the gravity of thesituation is painfully intense. All of the resources at our disposal are beingfocused on one problem: the lack of water to support our cropst The resourcesat hand're grossly inadequate to moot the crisis. Obviously any new resourcewhiCh may be available is desparately needed.

)1ith this in mind, we request that you support any action necessary for theopening of the Pacific Gas and Flectric Company's Diablo Canyon Nuclear. powerplant„near San Luis Obispo. Me understand final approval of this plant is beinghandled on a routine basis while the needs of electrical energy for irrigationduring the drought cleariy dictate the necessity of proceed3ng on a ~rioritbasis.

In recent" times we have all heard a great deal of rhetoric concerning theresponsiveness of government to the needs of the peopl'e. Activation of theDiablo Cargron Power Plant is an excellent example of a need which can be met by

'esponsivegovernmental action. In California agriculture means food and jobs..Both of these are essential, non-partisan needs which responsive government mustsupport. Lend your. support'no>r - - take action on the Diablo Car@ron Power >lanttodsye

Sincere+3 .

Dear Mr. Anders:

The California Farm Bureau Federation has given highpriority to encouraging efforts to complete the licensingprocess for the Diablo Canyon Plant so that its benefitsmay be made avai+ble to all users of the energy it willproduce.

The San Joaquin Farm Bureau Board of Directors arealso concerned about the possibility of power interruptionsduring the late summer. Because of the drought conditionsand the lack of surface water for irrigations, agriculturewill be looking toward their pumps and the undergroundwater supply to irrigate their crops. It is imperative thatan uninterrupted supply of power be available.

We urgently request that every effort be made to reacha decision to license 'the Diablo Canyon Plant .at the

'arliestpossible date.

Sincerely,

SAN JOAQUIN FARM BUREAU FEDERATION

JERRY ROBINSON, President
