Dear Mr. Putnc:

ns j

f. This replies to your letter of June 12. 1963 addressed to Chairman  ;

- Seaborg in which you expressed concern relative to the proposed {

t construction of nuclear power reactors at Bodega Hesd, California r' and at Long Island City, New York. You were particularly con.

a gerned by the proxitracy of the proposed Dodega Head reactor site  !

to the San Andreas fault. )

U With respect to the proposed Bodega Head reactor, all technical aspects including the hydrological, meteorological, seismologicsi, and geological characteristics of this site are being thoroughly

' explor:d in the course of review by the Comission's staf f and l L by the Advisory Comittee on Reactor Safeguards. In addition, the 5 U. S. Geological Survey, at the Com:nission's request, is conducting 7

& N a thorough survey of the geology of Dodegs Head. The report by l f: the U. S. Caological Survey vill be inade public. Fins 1 action on b the application will not be taken until the report by the U. S.

3.:G: Coological Survey has been received and evaluated and until review d Q by the AEC staff and the AdvisoryCo:rnittes en Essetor Safeguards

.9 has been coc:picted.

Enclosed for your information is a copy of a pamphlet prepared by p the Cocrnission's Division of Public Information which describes the procedures relating to the licensing of power reactors by the

" Atomic Energy Co::rnisalon.'

We feel confident that these procedures and their provision for public hearing will enable all interested persons to sequaint them-selves with the details of the proposal by Pacific Gas & Electric y f
