The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanvillc, May 13, 1998 . Page 2 Councillor Says Don't Cut Nuclear Plant Safety Zones From page 1 ' "Pickering Council will be supporting this tonight." Fire Chief Mike Creighton told councillors that, at this time, the request is premature, especially since no one knows who would be footing the bill. "There arc concerns with the 10 kilometre alert zone, including, who would pay for it," Creighton said. The question is: "If Hydro paid for it, fine. But what if it, like many other services, it is downloaded to the municipality?" Councillor Troy Young wanted to know the background background information behind the move to go to three kilometres kilometres from 10 kilometres. "I am being asked to endorse something I have no information on," Young said. Creighton noted that, at this time, Hydro is saying it will probably pay for a siren alert system to be placed around the plant. Last week, the Durham Region councillors voted to tell the province they want to keep the 10 kilometre area within which people would be alerted to a nuclear emergency. emergency.
