. Bodega Bay Reactor l
Editor-l would like to.make a N
few clarifying remarks with regard '
- to my statements about the Bodega
- reactor reported in The Chronicle i
I
~
- November 11.
> i First, t.t no time did I say the
" plant should not be built;" l said
]
'7 only that we should " pause for a
' closer look."...
lT ',,
l
+
I described the three major re.
c.
. actor accidents which are known f.
to have occurred in the world since
. the beginning of the atomic rge, -
only one of -which was in the United States,.. Your story said s
"there have been a number of re.,
, actor failures in the Nation in the past few years," which gives a
. rather dif ferent impression. I also -
stated that the safety' record of the atomic energy industry' has been excellent as a whole.
/
Although both the SL-1 reactor at Arco and the proposed P.G.&E.
f reactor at Bodega are boiling water types, this is the end of their,'
^" +
similarity. Your story says they
, are "of the = same. basic type,"
which is an oversimplification.
I.
did not mean to imply that the potential for an accident was of a similar level in the two...
I took some pains to state that reactor technology is not my field, and that because the people in Sonoma county were unable to find an expert on reactor safety I
, viho was willing to talk, I was try.
+
Ing to fill the gap. I thing P.G.&E.
should be willing to meet the pub. ' '
lic frankly on the ~ subject of re..
l actor safety...
