Arena nuclear plant site perils detailed
A Sierra Club spokesman told Ukiah Rotary Club that PG E abandoned plans for a Point Arena nuclear plant due to USGS findings of earthquake hazards near the site. David Pesonen, an opponent of PG E projects at Bodega Head and Point Arcana, said PG E suppressed earthquake data in its report to the AEC and that the USGS report placed the site near the San Andreas fault with crustal slippage and a horizontal fault evidence.

PG&E not withdrawing Point Arena plant permit now
PG&E spokesman denied withdrawing the 800 million nuclear plant permit near Point Arena, asserting continued applications to the California Public Utilities Commission and Atomic Energy Commission and to the North Coast Regional Commission once formed. He cited a 30 month Stanford and Earth Sciences Associates study showing negligible ground displacement along the San Andreas fault but possible strong ground shaking at the Mendocino site, advising design consideration for severe motion.
