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 Bodega Head seems a risky choice for an atomic power

'li(

plant. Recent geological studies have shown that trie 7 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,%
