u Gentlemen:

L&R Fue It has come to my attention through reeding variou&;;w@/)

l s

articles that the Pacific Gas and Electric Comneny nlans to put a nuclear I.swered steam-clectric genereting clent on Bode 6e Head.

I have read thet this $1ont will contain seventy-five tons of two end< one-half per cent urenium fuel end three hundred seventy-five pounds o:

ranium or, one hundred fifty times as much fissionable r.at.crial es there was in the bomb that caused the terrible destruction and loss of life in Hir-oshima.

If I am not mistaken, M -r

..a be a three hun-dred foot stack atop tb cc w '.1

'oel a waste gos,

~

Iodine 131, which is v

2 ma. M thrt this waste gas decays in thr<, e

'/ur daya. '.:

's its deirymen of Bo-

~?

tery of nilk to de6a Bay pride tt O

ch t '.2 o

stores, it is en-a... oc.siMe Aat v.14 1.'a on the tables of consumers br.-

tae.. m e hes d.e w %

Also, tr.:. nant will o-f.rca of r m rom the San Andreas h lt--the se.w +iuh Get musec t; a Fren-cisco earthey s P 1906.

.. E of 1959, 3.ur :c.,d9sion ruled that -

a 1r a ple:c su h as this ruey

.?

on a c

fault; in F*

ri of 1961 ic ruled that'a tit.a -

or; from one-half t c.

fc.urth mile eway from e fault: end the sum-mer of 19c_, it ruled thet e site may be no closer r' one-4 fourth mile from a fault.

This rule wee pessed oft & te Pacific Gas and Electric Comperly enroue cod its ele: -

out this plant on Bodega Head.

I have reed also that the safety d,-

to be us n

'irst w it this plant has never been tested, end t'.

was subjected to approval, it wes not er4 avec by you:-

en-mission.

The result of a mefor

cicteent of this pl wor &

she possible loss of life of S.MO recole, the por

.)le in,. c.

of 43,000 people, end possibu '.one tern adiatio, demego a

.s ev -

eral thousand people.

The nsul; of

~ ' icr accident of this plent could be the same as the resui.' "

one that hanpened in e olent of this type in Idaho; the a

f 110 liires.

. With this much r'isk involved, ve at it is truly.

.angerous to allow this plant ti be E
so do n.ot allow L"

U.lis senseless gamble of human 1.ives..

strongly against ir.e building of this plent.

l s41 Thank you for allowing me to expps my views.

l Repne'ctfuUy yours, s
