A Dear Mr. Price 7

question is about as likely to experience earth shifting as any that might be chosen in the USA.

America centered near New Madrid, Missouri.
I would thint an atomic resistant or-earthquake proof.or neuclear power rector should be constructed ess subject to major adjustments.
But, no use choosing a site obviously I especially liked, " Acceptance of Eodega Head as a safe difficult to reject any proposed future site on the grounds ofrector extreme carthquake risk'.'
As you may know, the main San Andreas rir; comes south off shore Arena,crosseo a small portion of Cape Mendocino, thence aff shore to Point Head, across it, ther,off shore and up Tomales Bay an:_ straigh land to Bolinas Lagoon, thence, by ocean to just south of the SU corner of San Francisco, then the San Andreau Lakes from which it is Valley, Gorman, Elizabeth Lakenamed, thence via Wright, near Hollister, San Senit juct south of 2almdals Swartout San Bernardino, mountain foot edge north of Redlands, S with a main branch or rift over Beaumont Pass into Imperial Va and Lower California.
Gorman along the south and east foot of the SieAnother main branch curves around fr branches run off mostly following major ranges.rras. Many lesser all structures should be made nearly earthquake proof.Like our bui earthquakes are rare terrible dammage is done by thecc rare and un-Where severe expected ones.
not as apt to brin 6 a major movement and damage.Also here the adjustmen We tre a bit con ~-
cerned here because.we have. not had nany recent shakes and may in consequence expect major one.s any ti'me.
Only old buildings are structures which can stand considerable tremors without da material damage.
Thanks again.
