Dear Sirs; We own property at Bodega Bay, GalEornia and wish to register a strong protest at the proposed P,G. and E. nuclear power plant.
to be erected on Bodega Head.
We presume that the AEC granted permission for this.
Aside from the fact that this area, in our opinion and inthat of many conservationists, should certhinly be preserved for the enjoyment of future generations as a park, there are several l
l other considerations.
The one that comes most prominently to mind is that this is a fault area which if you recall has been subject to some rather severe earthquakes.
Indeed there is a story goingthe rounds that the engineers for. P.G. and E. af ter much effort managed.to locate the original site accurately astridethe fault.
When this was pointed out to them they movCd the site a couple of thousand feet.
4 Perhaps this is an apocryphal incident,but it seems to characterize the lack of sound overall planning connected with this proposed plant.
We would certainly apprechte an explanation of why it I
should be considered necessar$ to locate a nuclear reator in a fault area to. the windward of an extensive dairy and orchard i
region, and"a pretty fair commercial and sports fishing area.
1 While you are at it, as a taxpapyer I wodd aloo like to know why the AEC waited until af ter considerable nuclear wastes had been. disposed of in the ocean to check the disposal containers undet,(actual ~ 'use, 'and why the AEC allowed-a contractor to violate j
AEC regulations by dumping containers of nuclear wastes in Massachusetts Bay in shallow water?
