Dear F.r. Hansen:
l This refers to your letter of April 11, 1963 in which you express concern for the safety of persons in the area surrounding the pro-posed reactor site at Bodega Bay and for the conservation of
~3 natural resources.
Enclosed is a pamphlet prepared by the Commission's Division of Public Information concerning the licensing of power reactors.
I hope you will find it reassuring concerning the discharge by l
the Atomic Energy Cor:imission of its responsibility relative to the health and safety of the public.
Before the Commission can consider issuance of a permit authoriz-
'4 ing the Pacific Gas & Electric Company to construct the proposed plant at the proposed site, the Commission's Dtvision of Licensing and Regulation will make a comprehensive safety evaluation of the proposal, the Commission's Advisory Committee on Reactor Safe-guards will thoroughly review the application and a public hearing l
will be held before an Atomic Safety and Licensing Soard or an AEC Hearing Examiner, as required by law. After the issuance of j
pn Initial Deelslon by the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board or the Hearing Examiner, the entire hearing record is subject to review by the Commission. The hydrological, meteorological, and l
geological aspects of the site, including the effects of earth-1 quake on the proposed plant, will be thoroughly explored in the j
course of review by the Commission's staff and the Advisory Com-mittee on Reactor Safeguards. The purpose of these extensive procedures is to assure thorough consideration of all aspects of
)
the proposed plant bearing upon the question whether the reactor can be constructed and operated et the proposed site without undue risk to the. health and safety of the public. However, 4
