Opposition early in Fill revealed at hit hit costs hid I the est mates up to list I about one hundred and fort mill on dolhrs There v ill be questions of waste on Hit job the of the I Corporation open

Select Committee will to know what Hydro has done Ihc recommendil in how it is prepared logo whelhtrnr Over the past couple of years being involved with the energy question I lave developed an opinion that nuclear power will be part of our energy mo at least into the years of twenty first I am strongly of tht point of view that while it should its place in mix of energy choices it should not be allowed to become Ontario sole destiny thert are too many other options available which ire develop at he present lime and of course there is the whole question of both quantitative both at consumer level and at the utility level whieh will thread through the d in a very meaningful ly I of Important in formation gathere by Hit ion on eletlne pi inning under the of I will be cons by the Committee

this d sou on will be on Ih il of the etn utilitus versus more decentralised systems and it ih at this time that tht whole power corridor juesllon will be introduced It his been my consistent feeling that mor decentralised system would place far less pressure on need for gigantic power transmission ficilities also of the opinion in creased of el power by industry its encouragement In Hydro and would rtdut demand for these lines It is be hoped that nj debate the methods I tine employed for the selection siting of power corridors will recommendations made that hopefully will system of study selection and for any future power corridors If the Bradley fiasco is an example of best methods that ire bung em ployed at the present time then we certainly have room for drastic improvement then will be debate on the whole question of nuclear power in Ont There are outspoken op to nude power is there ore outs poktneopontnts A reeommendilion will lie mode to Government about the future of nuclear power There ore many important con lions The spent fuel waste which will continue to fur instinct Hydro have just completed Ihe purchase of short of uranium fuel from Mines which will by the produce tons of nuclear waste when I is expected to be used up Thtrc is the question of re processing a subject which is being approached with ex treme caution by many of the most learned nuclear people in the world at the present time A subject of a political power of a few highly trained technocrats who will he run our electrical power system If It becomes mninly nuclear will be the question or consideration and of course the health and safety aspect of the processing of the fuel Initially before It Is used in the reactor The safety of the reactors themselves of course will also be consideration It should be pointed out however thill of all the nuclear hard ware that la in use In the world today A Condu system Is without a doubt the safest and carries with It the best record of
