Tomas Wakefield Letter to the Editor Dear Mr. Forrester: We are writing in response to an article in the Globe and Mail (June 14, 1988) covering the Canadian Nuclear Association's annual conference. Increasing skepticism exists among the public regarding nuçlear technology. It's, mentioned that the Atomic Energy Control Board of Canada (AEjCB) has received an • Unusually large number of letters expressing op- postion to the use of food irradiation. irradiation. An AECB spokesman is quoted as saying, "In such a climate, it is understandable that the public demands that the regulatory _ agency increasè its vigilance". Naturally, the public wants more vigilance on the part of the atomic regulator' -- accompanied accompanied by less nuclear industry . Durham Nuclear Awareness joins with citizens all across Ontario Ontario who are opposed to the introduction introduction of food irradiation. This process involves the uÿe of a very dangerous .radioactive substance -- cobalt 60 -- produced produced by Ontario Hydro. Most Canadians are unwilling to set a place for the nuclear industry at their table: there is clearly no consumer demand for irradiated irradiated food. Informed people know that exposing food to ionizing radiation radiation does not induce radioactivity radioactivity in the food. That is not the issue: We can think of all kinds of things that aren't radioactive that we wouldn't want to eat! The public has far broader concerns concerns to do with this technology: Irradiation plants containing large amounts of radioactive yfelemerits are likely to be located in populated areas, near agricultural areas, and watersheds. More nuclear cargo will pass through our cities and countryside. The choice whether or not to eat irradiated irradiated food does not. take these factors into account.. It is not the sensationalism of the media that has turned a lot of people against nuclear technology, but the record of the nuclear industry itself. The public's bound to suspect that "something's up" when the nuclear industry is,so reluctant to use the word "irradiated" on The Committee of Clarke Constituents would like to thank the hundreds of people who supported our efforts to keep Metro's garbage out of our community. This community really worked worked together to protect our environment, environment, our farmland, and our way of life. You put signs on your lawns, you made donations., donations., you wrote many letters, you supported our fundraising activities, you attended our meetings, and at.our July 29th 'protest rally' you sent a clear message to Metro about its plans for us. It has been a united effort by the residents, the local business community and our Town Council. We are a community to be reckoned with! Based on a report by its consultants consultants (released on Augu. 5) the Commissioner of Works for Metro has recommended that a site in Northeast Scarborough be selected as Metro's Interim Landfill Site. Although the final selection has not been made, it is now very unlikely that Clarke will be the site for Metro's garbage. garbage. We will keep you advised of any significant developments. HOWEVER, we must still continue our fight against the other threat to 'dump' on our community. Laidlaw Waste Systems is still actively trying to expand its 20 acre landfill site (north of Newtonville) to 120 acres. Two previous attempts in 1983 and early 1988 to expand this site was denied because it is environmentally unsafe. Laidlaw is currently drilling and, conducting tests on its 400 acre property in preparation for a third attempt at expansion. They have been advised by the . Ministry of the Environment that they must comply with the . full rëquirements of the Environmental Environmental Assessment Act. We expect to be involved in a. long arid protracted fight to stop this expansion. As a volunteer community organization, we are encouraged encouraged by your support and look forward to your continuing par ticipation to help preserve our environment.

The public is bound to suspect that "Something's up" when private insurance companies - the risk assessment experts - won't even touch nuclear reactors.
