I much too small of a population to be living near the plant near the end of its projected life, 5tudies by Rice University and the City l

The city of Houston Civil Defense has stated that it is so impossible to evacuate the city of Houston within the time necessary to avoid major loss of life that they do not even vdsh to discuss it because of the fear it would cause in the citizens if they knew the truth, Since j

1 from radiation from the " accident" at Allens Creek. It makes no L
J sense to allow 1 billion dollars to be spent in construction before learning that it is impossible to evacuate the area safely, 6
