ONCE THROUGH COOLING at Diablo Canyon Nuclear Plant 1

What is Once Through Cooling (OTC)? Ocean water is used to cool the two reactors at Diablo Canyon 2

How much water does Diablo use? 2.5 BILLION gallons of seawater per day! 3

Why should this concern commercial fishermen on the Central Coast? Larger life forms suffer impingement Smaller life forms suffer entrainment Warm water discharged into the ocean stresses and kills fish, plants, and other wildlife. 4

How does this affect sea life? OTC kills life forms at the bottom of the food chain All other marine life is affected through the food chain 5

How Many? It is estimated that more than 1 BILLION such organisms are killed each year by Diablo Canyon nuclear plant. 6

The marine life that is being destroyed affects the livelihood of local fishermen. Diablo Nuclear plant is having a dramatic effect on the amount of sea life present in the ocean along the Central Coast. 7

1972 – Congress passes Clean Water Act What laws are in place to protect the marine environment from OTC? 8

2001 – EPA orders new plant to use “closed-cycle cooling” 2010 – CA State Water Resources Control Board requires power plants to comply with Clean Water Act 9

What is happening at Diablo Canyon nuclear plant? PG&E required to study alternatives to meet requirements Review Committee of technical reps to oversee study Compliance date – December 31,

However - Proposed amendment to the water quality control policy on the use of coastal and estuarine waters for power plant cooling in 2014 Expects to issue findings and call for public comment in the fall of

Cooling Towers – most effective method for reducing the impacts of OTC What are the options to OTC? 12

Modification – modify the existing OTC system Mitigation –offset environmental damage by implementing mitigation projects 13

Close Diablo Canyon now! 14 Artists rendering of alternative uses for the Diablo Canyon site provided by Alliance for Nuclear Responsibility –

What can I do to help protect our marine environment? Pass a resolution calling for protection of marine life by ending OTC at Diablo Canyon 15
