Wasco Faces Large Atomic Plant Amid Water Fears
Wasco, California, near 8,209 residents, contends with a proposed 4.5 billion dollar Los Angeles Nuclear Project. Four reactors would need about 100,000 acre feet yearly, raising fears of radiation, water supply strain, and crop impact while officials study recycling waste water, environmental reports, and safeguards. Bakersfield is the nearest big town, with construction expected 1977 onward and 660 to 3,500 workers over time.
