IEEv;0t Ics Angeles CA 90022 3.W CM November 19, 1981 Mr. Joseph M. Hendrie, Chair =an Nuclear Energy Cc=cission 1717 E Street, N.T.
Washington, D.C. 20555
Dear Mr. Joseph M. Hendrie:
I as a resident of Ios Angeles, Calife.~ia who would like to know why the spot selected for construction of the Liablo Canyon nuclear plant was at the San Andreas fault.
Since nuclear energy 'fs a powerful and unstable source of energy, wouldn't earthquakes increase the potential danger of radiation leaks?
If so, I think bad judg=ent was exercised in building a nuclear plant in an area where a major earthquake could occur.
This country has survived a major crisis with the
~'hree Icng Mile Iland incident, which proves that no one ever know what can go wrong. We have polluted our air with che=icals from factory plants, outcmobile exaust fumes, antipestisides, and several nuclear w
tests explosions. Therefore, we =ust take extre=e
, 1, g
{
care to prevent any further contamination of our air s
7 by any foreign substcnces.

I know the technology for solar energ is here, and DEC2 198P-it seems to se that it is a much safer, cleaner, and
...v~
j better source of energy to use; why hasn't the go-vemment provided more funds for the development of this energy source.
I will await your response to =y questions on these i=portant matters.
Sincerely, Y
