SUBJECT:
PACIFIC GAS AIID ELECTRIC CO, - BODEGA BAY RF. ACTOR N CO:V:RHE Bob Dodds visited the main of fices of the Pacific Gas and' Electric Company in San Francisco yesterday for the purpose of d'scussing with Jay Carroll the results-of the recent 230 Mwe power test ~ program of the Humboldt Bay Reactor. Af ter the meet 1ng with Carroll, Dodds met with Paul Matthew, Manager of the Steam Genera-tion Department for some inforral after hour conversation. The gist of this conversation, as related by'Dodds, was as follows: . Matthew reflected his views on the Bodega Bay situation and' particularly how. t etight af fect PG&E's nuclear power plans. He was concerned e .n. continuing delay in scheduling the hearing for a ceasi.ruction permit and stated that it had already / been respcn=ibte for revisit.g their schedule and plans for conste. Ang other nuclear units. In his opinion, if the AEC - fit-e t< tat Bodega Bay is not an acceptable site, he believes that PG&E witi decide not to proceed with their plans for nuclear plants in_other areas of_ California. In. fact, according to Matthew, PG&E is presently--proceeding with plans to conatruct a conventional steam generation plant at Morro' Bay ahead of schedule to furnish the power demand that was to have been supplied by Bodega. Had the licensing of Bodega proceeded at normal.rste, the Morro Bay plant would probably have been a nuclear unit. Sam Casalina, Safety Consultant to the International Broti :rhood of Electrical Workers told me in a telephone conversation today j that he had been informed by an APED engineer _that PG6E had recently postponed the delivery date of Bodega Bay reactor-. components until 1967. The above inic,rmation resulted from rather casur.1 and informal - conversation but may be of some interest to Mr. Price, Dr. Mann and other people at Eeadquarters having an interest in the a vicissitudes c,f life here ~in California.
