Gentlemen:
Re:
Pacific Gas & Electric Gompany Power Plant Bodega Bay, California l
I am writing in behalf of Mrs. Rose S. Gaffney who owns approximately 437.85 acres adjoining the "Strow property" on Bodega Head, now owned by Pacific' Gas & Electric Company.
The Pacific Gas & Electric Company is seeking through condemnation to acquire 64.9 acres belonging to Mrs. Gaffney adjoining the Utility's present holdings.
I am representing Mrs. Gaffney in the condemnation suit.
Will you please advise concerning the following two matters :
1 - Has Pacific Gas & Electric Company applied for and been granted a permit or any. authorization for the purpose l
of constructing an atomic energy power plant on Bodega Head?
If such has been granted, kindly advise the date thereof.
t 2 - In view of the extensive acreage owned by Pacific Gas & Electric Company on Bodega Head, is it necessary that l
l l
this Utility also acquire an additional 64.9 acres from Mrs.
Gaffney, and if so, is the requirement being made by the Atomic Energy Commission or is it solely the desire of the Utility to acquire this additional property?
I will appreciate an early reply to the above inquiry.
Very truly yours, SLC/36 l

2 Exposure of the reproductive organs of a living organism, in.
3 cluding a human being, results in genetic damage through the production of.
4 genetic mutations. There is no minimum amount of radiation dose that snust be 5
exceeded before mutations occur. Mutations are believed to occur in number 6
essentially in direct proportion to the dose of radiation, for small amounts with 7
an increase in the proportionality factor, perhaps fourfold, for very large l
8 amounts of radiation in a short period of time.
9 A genetic mutation is a change in the hereditary material of an 10 organism, a change in the genes and chromosomes on which heredity depends.
11 It is this hereditary material, germ plasm, that is transmitted to offspring, g
12 and that determines tho' nature of the offspring.
rf 13 Almost all mutations in human beings are harmful. They re-14 sult in fetal death, still-births, childhood deaths from various diseases of tIeo j g*u 15 hereditary origin, and serious physical and mental defects that increase the m
.o Extremely few mutations in human beings are
((j 16 amount of human suffering.
! f j j 17 beneficial. It is believed by geneticists and molecular biologists that the J'!l 18 reason that most mutations are harmful is that a mutation is essentially a
<y random change in the molecules that constitute the genetic material, and that 19 20 at the present time the genetic material has, through a process of natural 21 selection, been selected in such a way that it is extremely difficult for it to be improved, and that a random change is accordingly much more likely to be 22 23 harmful than beneficial.
24 The mutant gene that is produced by a mutation is passed down 25 to subsequent generations, and may do harm in some future generation..
Deleterious mutant genes that cause major impairment are eventually elimina-26 27 ted from the pool of human germ plasm. since they increase the death rate or 28 lower the fertility of the persons carrying them. Mutant genes that cause only 29 a small amount of harm persist much longer and may affect a correspondingly 30 larger number of persons. Minor mutations may in the long run cause more 31 human suffering than the more serious ones, because they are eliminated more 32 slowly from the pool of human germ plasm.

say on information and belief that they believe that the carbon-14 produced by 3
nuclear weapons tests up to and including 1958 will cause 100,000 gross defects.
4 380,000 still-births and childhood deaths and 900,000 embryonic and neo-natal 5
deaths with some possible overlap between the still-births and the neo natal l
6 deaths. Scientists are in substantial agreement and the petitioners state on 7
their information and belief that carbon-14 may well represent a larger genetic danger than fission products from ordinary fallout if one compares an infinity 8
9 dose delivered over an effective period of 8,000 years (the tre an life of radio-10 active carbon) to one delivered over an effective period of about 40 years (the 11 mean life of ordinary fission products).

The human race has always been exposed to some ioilizing g f, 13 radiation. It is continually being irradiated by radiation from natural sources
$lt z
14 from the general environment, such as uranium, thorium, radium, etc., and t eo
[jj 15 their decay products; from cosmic radiation and from cosmic ray induced e u 2 31 16 1g l' radioactive materials. The aggregate of these radiation sources is known as
~
>{fjg 17 the natural background radiation.
18 In addition to the natural background radiation, members of the
- t b
19 human race are exposed to X-rays used in the healing arts and some members S
thereof, because of their occupation, are exposed to X-rays in industry.
20 21 The radiation resulting from the two sources, namely, the 22 natural background radiation and X-ray radiation has affected and now affects 23 mankind along the lines indicated as resulting from radiation. The effect upon 24 the hums.n race resulting from the radiation produced by the reaction and re-25 lease of radioactive gases is in addition to the effect resulting from the.
26 natural background and X-ray radiation.
