To the Editor:
I pray you are not jumping the gun reporting that Diablo Canyon operated safely during 2013. There are still a few more days left in 2013.
For most of my life, like many residents of this county, I never imagined that a catastrophic nuclear event could happen close to me. Fukushima taught me about hubris and false assumptions. Fukushima taught me that even the unimaginable is possible.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission and Pacific Gas and Electric Co. keep talking about lessons from Fukushima, but either they are not paying attention or they are the slowest learners ever. The real lesson from Fukushima is we need to shut it all down. The only reason why the entire world is not in a panic over the continuing disaster across the Pacific is that we cannot see radiation. Unlike oil spills, we don’t have pictures of tar-covered or suffocating marine life.
What we have is so much worse, and if one could see it, the nuclear power industry would most likely be dead.
Instead, it’s still clunking along, churning out more deadly waste that has nowhere to go but sit there on our fragile coast. Devil’s Canyon, indeed. Only the evil one could claim that this is safe.

Modern industrial society is a fanatical religion. We are demolishing, poisoning, destroying all life-systems on the planet. We are signing IOUs our children will not be able to pay...We are acting as if we were the last generation on the planet. Without a radical change in heart, in mind, in vision, the earth will end up like Venus, charred and dead. – Jose Antonio Lutzenberger, Brazilian Minister for the Environment
