Dear Bob:
Transmitted' herewith is our review of Christopher Newhall's " Review of Volcanologic Discussions in the PSAR and Related Documents, Philippine Nuclear Power Plant #1".
This review was prepared by Robert 1. Tilling, Chief, Office of Geochemistry and -Geophysics, U.S.G.S., with concurrence of Dr. Richard D. Krushensky, Acting Chief, Office of Environmental Geology, U.S.G.S.
Mr. Newhall is a
- part-time employee-of the Geolo' ical Survey but his comments and our review of g
them have been developed independantly.
There have been no discussions of this subject between Drs. Tilling and Krushensky and Mr. Newhall.
I wish to reiterate here that the Survey has not reviewed the studies of
-Ebas'co nor have we studied the specific volcanic site-in question.
Our comments are based on Mr. Newhall's report and our expertise in volcanology in general.
l2 We have no objection to your making this review part of the public record.
Sincerely yours,
/C0M q
