Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, August 10, 1983-3 Working around the Town Pictured above, the crew of five, (back row) John Sander, John Fisher, Steve Jansma, (kneeling) Shawn Linkie and Willie Hodgson. Quietly during this summer a crew of five workmen have been sprucing up various municipal buildings in the Town of Newcastle. At the present time they are working jn Orono where they have completed painting and the re-finishing of the main hall (Continued page 6) Candu safety (Continued from page 1) turned down the Candu reactor reactor in favour of a U.S.-style reactor because key elements of the Canadian system "would be unacceptable in England and Wales without major, modifications". This bombshell came to light at a British inquiry on reactor safety and struck at the very essence of the Candu, which uses large quantities of a rare chemical called heavy water rather thqn the ordinary water found in other reactor designs. Thé Rubin articles further states, "According to the British utilities testimony, while the higher cost of Can- . du was also à factor, detailed studies indicated that the hazards associated with the plant required to manufacture manufacture heavy water were considerable". considerable". Rubin also points out that foreign concerns of Canadian nuclear technology are not limited to the heavy water plants. The author of the Star story refers to a paper delivered to the annual meeting of the Canadian Nuclear Society, which points out that the United States, France, Switzerland and other foreign countries of Western Europe would not allow Canadian designed Candu reactors to operate within their borders withdut significant safety im- !" /ements. Such im provements would include better separation of instrumentation instrumentation cables near the control room, some upgrading' of the Candu's emergency core cooling" system, a better barrier between between the public and radiation releases and 'the installation of shut-off valves inside the containment wall for pipes that carry the high-pressure radioactive water. Rubin states that even with these design changes the Candu Candu reactor is a remarkable piece of made-in-Canada engineering with several advantages advantages compared to the rest of the world's "light-water reactors". These features, he states,' have erroneously led * to a widespread public belief in Cariada Jhat the Candu is safer than the light-water system. He said very few members of the Canadian nuclear industry have ever claimed a safety edge for the Candu and this, he said, is to their credit. ' Rubin states there has been no comprehensive study of the Candu reactor risks and states that in fact the Atomic. Energy of Canada Limited, which designed the Candu, argue that risks from thç U.S. light-water reactor and the Candu reactor are similar and that the U.S. Reactor Safety Study would apply equally to ' both. Rubin states recent developments in the U.S. have highlighted the need for such a study of the Candu. . Rubin further points to recent recent studies, studies in the U.S. which have led to an upgrading of licensing requirements requirements in the U.S. and in «/) V) ■a ■ Î 5 £ x Rahm's Garage Station St. HOURS: Tues/Sat.1 10-4 The Craft Place Rowe St, Orono Handcraft Gifts and'Collectibles Crafts by Yvonne Trsffotti and Donna Hutton PHONE 983-5475 Bell takes action on fraudulant calls other countries with light- water reactors.

We do have assurance from Ontario Hydro that ^there is as yet no real threat from the leaks and rupture at Pickering but it does appear that a clear picture is beginning beginning to develop to question the safety factors of the Candu compared to other similar systems. The Candu has not met with significant sales in other countries and one reason could well be its safety factor. Orono -- In an effort to cut down on fraudulent long distance calling, Bell Canada, starting October 17, will verify all third number calls billed from coin telephones. This is the third and final stage of the Company's plan to cut down on fraudulent third number calls billed from a payphone. Last year, Bell operators stopped accepting third number local calls billed from coin telephones. ' On April 15 of this year, on all third number long distance calls , from coin telephones operators began attempting to contact the bill- . ed party to confirm that the person placing the call was known and that the charge was acceptable. However if verifications was not possible because the line was busy or there was no answer, the call was still put through. Starting October 17, all such numbers will have to be verified before the call is connected. connected. If there is no answer or a busy signal at the billing number, the person placing the call will have the option of paying by coin, calling collect collect or using a long distance ■ Calling Card, tm or calling afiother time. Murray Makin, Bell's vice- president of customer services services said October 17 date was chosen to . allow Customers who regularly make third number calls from coin telephones to obtain Calling Cards, "Calling Cards will allow customers to charge long distance calls at regular operator-assisted rates," Makin said. Calling Cards are available to qualified business or residence users at no charge and can be obtained by completing completing the application form that will be enclosed with . their August telephone bills. In 1982 there were more than 250,000 fraudulent third number long distance calls placed from coin telephones in Bell territory resulting in a loss of more than $1.3 million. This is a 90 per cent increase in fraud of this type Since 1980.
