David Pesonen: Atomic Park Smackdown
A story about how a small handful of people defeated a nuclear reactor project at Bodega Head (1958-1964). This project was forced on citizens of the north coast by California’s largest utility, it’s largest university, and one of the largest and most powerful government agencies in existence at the time. Hear David Pesonen’s story about how he learned about the corruption and danger that was lurking behind this sinister project at Bodega Head and how a small group of active citizens put it to rest forever. At the Bodega Head north of San Francisco, California, one can observe the actual “Hole in the Head” where PG&E had excavated the footings for the nuclear plant right alongside the San Andreas Fault.
