ALAMEDA COUNTY DEMOCRATIC CENTR IFCOMMITTE '!

1 April 9,196h Dr. Glenn Seaborg, Chairman i Atomic Mergy *ommission Washington, D. C.

l

Dear Dr. Seaborg:

j At their last meeting,' the thirty-six members of the Alameda lj County Democratic Contral Committee voted unanimously to express to the Atomic Energy Commi:sion their fervent hope that it will j not give final approval to the proposed construction by the Pocific Cas and Electric bonpany of the power plant on Bodeda Bay.

1 We do not need to refer to the possibic dan;cr of locat,ing - )

such a plant on an earthquake fault line, since we trust that the  !

Commission will give the most careful considerntien to this prob- '!

lem. But we would hope that you, a native Californian, will point  ;

out to your colleagues the tragedy that will be occasioned not only 4 for the present but for all future generation's if the wild beauty f of Bodega Bay is permanently disfigured by a commercial structure I such as has been proposed.  ;

1 Withcthe increasing pressures of its burgeoning population, this State is losing so many of the natural treasures that were its heritage from the Creator at the very time that its citizens have more need for them.

1 We do hope that yo_u will not foist more ugliness upon us in Ll the'name of Scientific Progress. We want invaluable preservation of our natural inheritance more than smaller electric bills.

N' April 8, 1964 Mr . Joseph McKann St. Lawrence Seaway a ..c rty ggg Massena, New York

Dear Sir:

It has come to my attention that the Niagara Mohawk Power l

Company is co'ncidering to build an atomic plant in the Oswego

~

area.- I wonder if it has been considered'to have this plant-built either west of the-Irquois Lock or just west of Eisenhower-and Snell Lock for the purpose of utilizing the waste water dis _

charged from the cooling condensers and other apparatus that require huge amounts of water to carry off the waste heat created by such a plant. This is not impossible as the large atomic plant in the State of Washington has warmed up the area around the Columbia River.

This plant being built in our area would serve the purpose of supplying addition.1 power when our waterilevels are low such as we are presently ex}. riencing. Above. all, it would possibly

~

be the means of keeping .Ge seaway locks open all year ' round on a feasible and economical basis.

I realize the other locks castward towards Montreal possibly would not benefit from th.t . However, eventually other. atomic power plants could be built along the St. Lawrence River between l

Eisenhower and Bohoron locks that would serve the duel purpose l of generating power and keeping the river ice free and available for navigation all year round, flec'd Of. Dir, of fisgn.

4 Mr McKann April 8, 1964 If the seaway were kept open on a year round basis up to Ogdensburg at least we would see a great boom in our economy here in the North country. No doubt many indus tries would want to take advantage of a year round seaway system that  ;

would enable us to have the first ice free port on the American .

side of the St. Lawrence River. Our canadian friends would {

also benefit and increase their national productivity in this j area which again in turn would probably create a greater exchange of goods and currency between northern New York and eastern Ontario ,

and Quebec through the movement of trade goods and tourism. i I sincerely hopeyyou will further this idea, and I have taken I 4

the liberty of sending copies of this letter to Niagara Mohawk, j the New York State Power Commission, and the Atomic Energy l Commission who I believe would be interested parties. I Gir.cerely, U
