Dear Mr. Chairman:

<.i) y -ciW

'N 'C The proposed plan by Pacific Gas and Electric to use~ '

Bodega Head, California, for the site of an atomic power plant will soon come up for review by the Atomic Energy i

Commission.

I would like to voice disapproval of the 4

plan and to encourage rejection of this site.

f I

'li

?

Bodega Head seems a risky choice for an atomic power 7 (

plant.

Recent geological studies have shown that trie proposed site would be dangerously situated on the fault f

line of an earthquake.

Statistics point out the increased l

risks of placing a potentially destructive power almost on top of an ignition.

We can control some of our man-made forces; in only a few instances have.we been able to curb or control natural l

forces.

We would be optimistic to think we could stop an i

earthquake from occurring.

Too many lives are at stake to play the odds at Bodega Head.

I hope you will take every possible step l

to avoid a highly dangerous situation by finding a more suitable location for the Pacific Gas and Electric power plant.

All your decisions are of great interest and importance to our nation, and I wish you. strength, insight, and support in your work.s.j~5,%
