Truck 2 Cas Colnide Although he hadn't really intended to, on transport driver managed ta find a sbady place ta parkhis truck along 401 Monday morning. The tractor-trailer unit driven by Marcel Dupre of Quebec and owned by Robert Transport, also of Quebec, was one of tbree vebicles involved in a 7:35 a.m. crash. The misbap occurred as a result of a 69 Pontiac driven by Fernado Ferraz, skidding on the slippery road surface, crossing the median and colliding with the transport. The initial collision, which left the Toronto resident's car sitting in the median facing northwest, caused the west- bound transport to also cross the median, colliding with the left rear of a 73 Cadillac eastbound, driven by Harold Price of Leskard Road and continue through the south diteh, oning to rest-some 75 feet off the roadway in the Pine trees. The truck, which is reported to have been loaded with 22 tons of nuts and bolts, is estimated tohave sustained at least $15,000 damage in the misbap. The Ferraz vehicle is a complete write-off wlile the Price vehicle sustained da- mage of $1,000. From the point of the initial collision, the Ferraz vehicle and the truck came to rest some 750 feet apart, the Price vehicle stopping in the south, ditch, facing west, approxi- mately half way between the other two. No injuries were reported in the mishap investigated by Provincial Constable Ray Ferguson of the Newcastle OPP detachment.. I ns taiExecutive Of St. Paus U•C.W.

Whether zoning of land at Highway 2 and Maple Grove Road will permit the develop- ment of a miniature golf course and driving range is a matter that will confront Council's Committee of the Whole Monday. Council was approached this week by Ernest and Gordon Reid who advised they had previously consulted with former building inspector Charles Warren who advised that the planned use of the site was permissible under the zoning and issued them a signed entrance permit. Now, they are faced with the fact that H.G. Wight, the new Chief building inspector, claims the site is not zoned for use as a miniature golf and driving range. According to what the two gentlemen told council, Mr. Warren apparently issued the permit on the basis that the zoning would permit the site to be used for a golf course. However, Mr. Wight ap- parently claims the term relates to a regular golf course and not a miniature variety. The owners are concerned as they have, through the consent granted by Mr. War- ren, proceeded with acquiring the land and developing it for the intended purpose. They requested council to inform them where they stand with respect to what is ha pening. oun. Kirk Entwisle replied bv expressing an understand- ing that the town staff may have some concern that a driving range is not a golf course. Clerk Joe Mcllroy sug- gested that a miniature golf course might be considered more of a co.imercial venture and would not comply with the agricultural zoning. The owners suggested that the problem is not a result of any wrong-doing on their part, but rather due to a staff error in not checking the matter correctly. As a result, Coun. Entwisle moved that Mr. Wight report to the next committee of the whole meeting.

Mr. Watson was addressing the meeting of the Durham Region Mutuàl Aid Fire Asso- ciation, hosted for January by the Town of Newcastle Department. Mr. Watson began his ad- dress by assuring bis intent audience of firemen that radiation did not get nvented during the 1940's during which wartime brought about the Atomic bomb, a fact many people might tend to believe. He went on further to deal with the factors related to how radiation is created by 'un- stable atoms' which inrbasic terms have accumulated too much energy for their struc- tural size and must get rid of some of it. This process results in the emission of many substances including electrons, X-Rays, alpharays and neutrons, According ta Mr. Watson, the emissions of most concern are the neutrons as they are the "sneaky" ones which can get inside of the atoms and "do funny things.' Assuring the group as to the safety of the plant in regards to its effect on nearby resi- dents la tle community, Mr. Watson brought the compari- sons down to a level of under- standing by the general publie. He explained that the effect of the plant's operation on someone living on the boun- dary of the property would be equivalent to them smoking one cigarette in 1,000 years or driving their car one extra mile a year. The hydro representative went on to explain the difference in nuclear genera- tion of electricity as compared with others is that it can't really be stopped but only shut off and allowed to slow down. in the event of a problem at the generating plant, the danger of radiation particles escaping comes if the cooling system should fail. In this way the particles wulid first make their way into the heavy water cham- bers, and then into the interior of the reactor building. Another safety feature is built in with the presence of a vacuum source which, shuld the pressure in the reactor building reach a certain point, would suck everything into itself (a building). As there still exists the possibility that some radiation could escape, Mr. Watson advised that its effect would be less harmful than the dose received during taking of X-Rays. Fire Safety As his audience were obviously concerned about the danger of fire at the plant, Mr. Watson reported that this is low due to the major use of inflammable materials. He also explained that the plant would be fully equipped with portable equipment but that if the need to call in fire personnel from the commun- îty arase, they would be escorted by hydro personnel witbr respect to radiation safety. He reported that the Picker- ing plant which bas been in operation for a few years now, has only had to call the community fire department in on two occasions, one being when a boiler burned and once to a trailer fire during construction work Hydro's Community Rela- tions officer Ross Fitchett, also present at the meeting, explained that one of the first things done at the Wesleyville plant, although it is oil-fired rather than nuclear, was the installation of fire lines and hydrants and that the site is now equipped with a truck. Spent Fuel The transportation of spent fuel was one question which arose from the firefighters with respect to the safety to the transportation method and what they would have to do if a truck carrying such were involved in an accident and burned. Mr. Watson explained that the required standards which the transportation containers have to meet are strict. Such c.ontainers would have to be able to stand up to the hypothetical situation of fall- ing off an overpass to the highway below, then being struck by an oil tanker after which they somehow managed to tumble into a body of water. They would have to be leakproof up to some 40 hours, allowing sufficient time to recover them. Should there be fire in- volved, Mr. Watson advised that attempting to extinquish it would require keeping clear of the smoke, adding that distance helps and firemen should stay as far back as possible to do what is neces- sary. At present, the on site "pool" at Pickering for the storage of spent fuel only contains an amount equal to one-third the area of the Bowmanville Council Cham- bers, accumulated since it commenced operation. There is an additional safety feature involved with the storage pool which will be the same for the proposed Dar- lington plant, in the fact that the level of the pool is below ground level so that even if it were damaged the water would still lie there.

In addition to bringing the members and their guests up-to-date on current developments in horticultural farming, Mr. Ells talked about the status of the import-export market. With respect to many products, he pointed out that "we're far from being self-sufficient. We import as much as or more than we produce."
