< t i i 6 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanvillc, February 10, 1988 Section Two Letter to The Editor Dear Mr. James: After reading an article in the Toronto Star last week, I became aware for the first time, that the Darlington Darlington nuclear site would be treating waste from Bruce and Pickering. Tritium, they call it, which is highly radioactive, and with all the dangers that go with this waste product, 1 wonder why no local residents residents were informed at the beginning stages that Ontario Ontario Hydro planned this from the first environmental environmental test that was done. As a local resident for almost twenty years, and a concerned concerned farm wife and mother of three, I would like to see our local newspaper newspaper publish more information information on what is going on in our backyards! The local hydro public relations relations people will assure you that it is a tritium removal removal facility, and the energy probe people assure you it is nothing more than a nuclear waste dump site, plain and simple. Now, I am nota right-wing activist, nor hysterical environmentalist environmentalist but someone who wants some straight answers answers from someone who is neither paid by the hydro nor speaks for'some group that gains from selling tritium for thirty thousand dollars per gram. The fuel bundles used in the reactors take seven hundred years to cool down (I may take as long, after learning some of the facts involved) and the plant itself itself is good for approximately approximately only forty years. That kind of information just doesn't make sense to me. If I were to spend two thousand dollars to produce produce a meal for my family for one day and the garbage that accumulated from that one meal filled ten garbage bags, I would surely be considered considered more than a little crazy . But the nuclear generating business is doing just that every day with our tax dollars, and no one is crying foul. I talked to our local M.P.P. Mr. Cureatz and even he couldn't come up with any positive answers to my questions and very real concerns (at least I think they are). Therefore, I and several other residents residents would appreciate seeing seeing some information in our local paper. Church suppers are nice to read about now, but what are we going to eat in fifty years when everything is glowing glowing all around us and it will be too late to say...Gee, I didn't know or bother to find out!!
