The Siting Task Force, as ex- plained by chairman of the commit- tee John Veldhuis, is to gather technical information to try to find out how to deal with low level radioactive waste at the Port Gran- by dump. Dr. Becker outlined the interests of CAIRS and in which areas they operate from providing informative slide shows to speaking engagements. He said one cannot feel, hear or smell radiation and that a Geiger counter was required to ascertain its presence. He spoke of three types of radia- tion; Alpha, Beta and Gamma. Alpha radiation, he said, is not considered serious externally but is only serious when treated. Beta radiation will penetrate the skin while Gamma will penetrate a fair amount of density and would reach vital organs more easily. He said all three kinds would be present at Port Granby and that as such Port Granby should be carefully monitored. In speaking, of haulage of the material he said it could be dangerous and there would be a need for an emergency team and all workers would need training. He said the committee must ques- tion the engineers to make sure all aspects are being covered. The committee was told that ex- ternal radiation would not be a pro- blem but there were many problems to decommissioning as to the type of container, dust problem, transportation. He said although some radon gas will escape it would quickly dissapate in the at- mosphere. Becker said water seepage was the most serious problem. This has been stated over the years and the fact that it is seeping into the lake. Dr. Bertell will speak at the next meeting of the committee to be held on Tuesday, June 5th. The committee is discussing means in which they can circulate information throughout the com- munity. In a discussion Garnet Rickard said they would have to look for ways to get feed back from the com- munity. (Continued page 2) On Monday night a represen- tative of Totten Sims Hubicki ad- dressed the Orono Downtown Business Association relating to a cursory survey to be undertaken in Orono as to sewage disposal as it exists. The firm has been hired by the Town of Newcastle to undertake the survey at a cost of $12,500. It is expected to take place in the near future. Walter Evans, director of public works, explained that his depart- ment would be sending out ques- tionairres prior to the survey with an explaining letter of the purpose of the survey. He said it would be a random sample of the village. Following the letters the survey wifl be carried out by an individual with the consultant firm. "We want honest answers," said Evans. As a result of this preliminary survey a decision will be made if a real problem does exist. If there is a problem the Town will then petition the province to carry-out a detailed survey which would result in specificrecommendations. Evans stated that provincial grants are available for certain works where there is a need for im- provements both in water and sewage. The grant reaches 85 per- cent. Town and Hydro to meet at luncheon MayorHubbard of the Town of Newcastle last week said Ontario Hydro representatives and Town of Newcastle councillors were 10 meet at a luncheon on Thursday. She said it was important that a line of communication be opened between the two groups. "There bas be no will on the part of council as a whole to resume talks," she said. "We do need to talk however." Mayor Hubbard said there is the matter of Darlington 'B' an expan- sion of a further four units at Darl- ington. Ontario Hydro has outlined plans for the next twenty-five years which considers additional nuclear generating stations with the Darl- ington site being a possible final choice by Hydro. She also noted the oversizing of the tunnel into the lake and as well environmental issues to be con- sidered. Sam Cureatz, M.P.P. Durham East, in a recent speech in Courtice referred to additional nuclear generation and said it could be slated for the immediate area. He suggested it could be a Darl- ington Two. He told his audience that it takes some 28,000 megawatts of electrici- ty a day for Ontario and that one unit such as at Darlington produces but 850 megawatts. Making a case for nuclear genera- tion he said there possibly could be (Continued page 2) Taking part in Pitch-In program Happenings ORONO TOWN HALL EUCHRE RESULTS The Orono Town Hall euchre results for Wednesday, May 2, 1990 with 10 tables in play were: High Scores Ken Gimblett with 80; Thelma Vagg with 74; Bernice Partner with 73; Clara Meuleman and Berniece Moffat each with 71.
