Alex Grendon told me that he personany had made a thorough review of the geological-seismological g
aspects of the Bodega Bay site and was satisfied as to its adequacy. He told me that there were no specialized agencies in California who had reviewed the suitability of the site. He added that Mr. Terrin had visited quite a number of people and agencies in California to discuss the geological suitability of Bodega Head and had informed him, Alex Grendon, as well as others that Public Health Service was undertaking a review of the geologic suita-bility of Bodega Head at the request of the Atomic Energy s
Commission. I told Mr. Grendon that we h vi made no specific requests to Public Health Service but had forwarded to PHS the application and amendments thereto, as is customary, for such comment as PHS vishes to make.
neiwu On Friday, May 17, James Terrin stopped in my office apparently just to chat since he had been in Germantown to attend the hearing on N.S. Savannah; among other things discussion turned to Bodega Head site. Mr. Terrill indi-cated that one of the principal questions for decision is the suitability of the Bodega Head from a geolog1 cal point of view and I told him that we have been and win be spending a great deal of time on this question; that we have consultants in the various disciplines involved in this aspect of our evaluation as well as acnistance from Geological Survey personnel. Mr. Terri u said that he was glad to hear this because he had understood from a meeting with the IHAR staff in early April that expert assistanc'e in this area vould not be obtained.
