Q inStatoe.man, BownManville, December 31- 1975 <if riLkc byE. P. Chant One of tha products of a nuclear power plant (nsidef from nuciea r power) is flot water. Water is used in the, process of the power pro-, duction and, by t he time the Srocedure is éver, the water is ot (not boi$ing, but warm). The water is not bot enough to damage anytype of life, so it is dumped bac k linto the water of the lake that the plant is situated on.I Some ingeniious people, how- ever, have seen the warm- er water temfperatures as a chance to experiment. OJntario Hydro bas fis h batcheries at the opening of some of their bot-water pipes. One man wants to farm piankton at the moutb of another, as be feels that this form of sea life will become a major source of prten n the future. Ontario Fyobas a proposai on wbat to do witb tbe bot water wbicb xiii be expelled from tbe proposed power plant in our area. Tbey'd like to make some isiands in tbe waters of Darlington Park, join tbem up to form a big batbtub, and tben shoot their bot water into it and raise tbe temperature into the high seventies for sximming. Sounds like a good idea, but one sbouid neyer decide without bearing a few alternatives.« A Few Alternatives P Pour approximately 68,000 forty-ouncers of rye into "the batbtub" and bave bot tod- dies. _ 2) Anchor about 4,000 eiectric mixers to the lake floor of "the batbtub" and bave a big, bot water wbirlpool 'bath. 3). Dump ninety truck-ioads of baking soda into "the bath- tub" and use it to soak feet. 4) Arrange a deal witb Eugene Wheian and serve two or three million poacbed eggs. 5) Turn the area into a haven for politicians wbo are always in bot water anyway. 6) Get a couple of goidfisb with nasty dispositions and do a Canadian version of "Jaws". 7) Just pump the bot water into "the batbtub" and let noisy women use the steam to open their husbands' mail without ripping the envelopes. 8)Pur seven box-cars of"M r. Bubble" into the water and go down to the beach and pretend you're Lawrence Welk. Ail of these suggestions are fascinatingI'know, but ser- iously. wy not use it to increase our food supply. About eighty million boxes ef xJello" and a cold winter xwould give tbis nationqUiîte a few desserts. As for a wbipped topping ..
