ers of failed measures to close

gerous
"There's nothing that says
the next leak is not going to he
something greater." said anti

not !«’ a concern if voters had
approved either Measure S or
Measure (>. which would have

tainly take a close look .it i!
The leak was detected shortly
before 7 a m Monday bv ex
tremely sensitive instruments
installed after l*GE found mi
croscopic cracks in metal tubes
that feed the plant's steam gen
erator
The utility announced it

It could take up to a week to
pinpoint the source of the leak
but the rale was about 2(H) gal

said.
He said that a person stand
ing in front of the leak would
have received radiation equiva
