| Diablo Canyon from Wikipedia |
In California, Californians for Green Nuclear Power is supporting the continued operation of the Diablo Canyon Nuclear plant. This citizen's group is entirely volunteer and self-funded. Several of them recently carpooled to Sacramento to testify in front of the California Energy Commission.
Now you can help them, help the nuclear industry, and help Diablo Canyon! But you have to do it by 5 p.m. today. (California time).
A group called Alliance for Nuclear Responsibility has accused Diablo Canyon of not being seismically safe because the plant supposedly did not analyze the effect of a huge earthquake…directly under the plant! The Alliance does not acknowledge that scientists analyze earthquakes by analyzing the result of earthquakes due to faults, not earthquakes that that they assign to occur at random locations.

You don't have to write anything very lengthy. Just say that PG&E did an excellent review of seismic safety in the 2012 time-frame, and that the NRC regularly reviews seismic safety in terms of new data. Or say whatever you want to say, in the words you want to use. Just do it!
