Dear Chairman Ahearne,

I urge you and the US NRC not to grant; Pacific Gas""~d

Electric a Low Power Testing Licence for the Diablo Canyon

power plant. The studies performed by the US Geolo".ical

Survey sho" that the 2osqri fault makes the s~ te un8rf'e.

Furthermore, the amount of information on disposal proves

that nuclear waste is not being disposed of safely or rationellv.

Proponents can't answer this issue effectivelye Recently, ~v

family was sent a propaganda packet bv the Ame~ic~n Nueces.

Society fn which they approached the issue o, waste wi".,+

descriptions of ~atsnt clans for dis,osal. An -.e".ins

of present disposal technicues is irresponsible. Tn a~«ti~n,

Congressman Larry J. HopkinsHouse of Representatives

'ashington,.D.,-C. 80515 ..I,

..Dear Congressman Hopk'ns:

As you may recall, last summer during one of your trips ta-theGeorgetown Courthouse we"discussed both nuclear waste legislationand the Zimmer nuclear plant on the Ohio Hiver in Moscow, Ohio.l am grateful 4o you that you later voted or a good nuclear wastemanagement bill, 23, 7g8. Now I am hoping that you will likewisedo your best'oout Zimmer.

F

Nr. Applegate alleges that a common joke among pipefitters atZimme is that they plan to be hundreds o miles away when theplant begins operation, so sure are ti ey that a caiastrophicaccident is likely. Georgetown is approximately forty-six milesfrom the p ant, Lexington approximately fifty-eight. Please helpmake sure that the Huc3.ear Hegulatory Commission investi-ation cfZimme now underway is thorough and tha., if necessa y, aCongressional investigation will take place.

Sincerely,

.Grave allegat ons of mismanagement, criminal activities on thesite,. and safety defects have been brought against the plant.The history of the charges made by a Mr. Thomas Applegate issummarized in the pages from a newsletter of a cii'zens'roup inCincinnati, which I enclose. Nr. Applegate has recently beensupported by the - ~ .. . ' „'« ~ ~ ~ i 'tute

which has begun an independent investigationof the plant and has found witnesses who have sworn to furtheralarming p oblems, including control rods that are too big for thechannels through whicn they mus~ slide to slow down a reaction,

', cable trays so overloaded that caole may overheat and. catch fire, andweakness in the walls of the suppression pool.

r- ~~ ~ . 5 I ~

.Z have ob ained a copy of the Government Accountability .

Project's Report to the Merit System Pro ection aboard on theoriginal char es brought by Hr. Applegate. Though .the smmary inthe newsletter seems to be an accurate re lection of the reportitself,. you may'ish to read the details. 1 believe that you canobtain a copy of the report and other relevant documentat.'on fromTom Devine, Associate Directo , Institute fo-. Policy Studies,1901 Que Street, 5.(!., '«Jashington, D.C. 20009 (202-2g4-9g82).
