"I tbink it is quite clear at the present time that therebas not ben sufficient evidence of abuse tu show that such an inquiry wouid serve any useful purpoe" he said. ThoeHouse of Commons earlier refused to give the unanimous consent needed to E ass a motion by Mr. Broad- ent to appoint a commission to examine the, Port Hope situation'. To Fix èLibltfo Radiaion Pobles Although impressed witb the comp any's side of the story, NDP Leadei,. Stephen Lewis said in Bov.mianville Thursday, that be did..fl.-ot really learn anytbing new on the Port Hop e-Eldorado problem and feels an inquiry is stili a necessity Mr. Lewis mad the state- ment in a press conference foilowing bis participation in the opening of Durham East NDP-MPP Doug Moffatt's constituency office in Bow- manville. His comments foliowing a meetine early Thursday with Executîve Vice President of the company Clem Bascbenis and the firm's Healtb Pbysicist Stan Frost are in support, of Mr. Moftatt's ear lier insistance that an inqurysbould be field. Asked wbetber there wa any suggestion from Eldorad. for or against an inquiry being beld, Mr. Lewis and Mr. Moffatt advised that they wouid welcome it as it will clear the air. Mr. Moffatt indicated the only concern Eldorado might have woulcl oe tne terms of reference for an inquiry. Mr. Lewis' strong support of an inquiry being heid, despite the Federal oppositý,into it announced on Wednesday, is on the basis that the liability must be fixed. He is willing to admit that the inquiry "migbt well find that the government's regulatory bodies are at fault,'" and ndcted tbat such being the case the standards would hav e to be revised wbiie no blame could be placed against a company if they bave accurateiy conformed to the present regulations. Mr. Lewis - was aiso questioned wbo be feit sbould can the inquiry, and aitbougb be would prefler the federal govýernment to initiate it, he suggested that if they don't the province sbouid. He believes the province, "feels anxious enough about an inquiry to ho pe the federal government wil i caîl itl" but supported Premier Davis' policy that "if the Federal government doesn't do it we wili.'ý The Energy Minister denied reports that radioactive waste was being dumped de liber- ately into Lake Ontario. Mr. Gillespie said that any radioactivity that bas been discovered in the lake bas come from a demolished building. "There is a runoff, which is wbat we are talking about; only a casual, very smali runoff in very minute, con- centrations," bie said. Mr. Gillespie told the House of Commons that a list of various areas in the province of Ontario that have been affected by radioactivity would be given to the" House and -to the people in the affected area. He also promised to reveal the information to the affected people before giving it to the press. With Party Leader Stephen Lewis on hand to assist in the traditional ribbon cutting ceremony, Durham East NDP-MPP Doug Moffatt expressed delight and relief Thursday alfternoon at finally opening a conrstituency office in Bowmanville. Heý explained that- "funds provided by the provincial government have made it possible, for each member of the législature to set up an office in his or bier riding to handie constituents' problems and answer inquiries." Prior to Feruary 1, Mr. Moffatt advised that "al members who maintained constituency offices did s0 at theirown expense." The MPP also advised that since the September election, whichp ut him in office, over 200 caîs for assistance have been handled, "a significant number when you c onsîder that many problems require several hours of work to bring them to a conclusion, and a few require even more time." 1He reported that in'addition to case work a great many letters requesting information on varied topîcs including Sunday closings, seat beit, legislation, hydr routes as well as requests for Harsard copies1 and anniversary scrolls, have been received.

Jaycees Enlightened About Nuclear Power According to wbat the Bowmanville Jaycees were told by Hydro's Community fl1tOn Cffiver. Ross Fit- cbett, last Wednesday even- ing, the proposed Darlington Nuclear Generating Station will bave more resemblance structuraily to the plant at Bruce than the Pickering station. Sucb an architectural design would seem more appealing to the e ye than the large dome style reactor buildings at Pickering, Other, bits of interesting information, sligbtly different than those wbicb bave been so widely repeated lately, includ- ed comparisons of the capac- ity of a 150 pound nuclear fuel bundie being equal to that of 500 tons of coal or 100,00 gallons of oul. In this light, Mr. Flitcbett explained that altbough the construction costs of a nuclear generating plant are much higber the operationai costs tend to eventualiy bring about a more economic state. These facts brought about tbe question of whether nue- lear power will continue to increase witb respect to 'the number of plants. Mr. Fitcbett, advised that lie does flot foresee nuclear plants being constructed across the prov- ince on a continuing basîs, as other methods of power pro- duction, sucb as solar energy, are coming along the develop- ment scales. Questions on safety pro- visions at a nuclear plant, fielded in particular to Mr. Fitchett from visiting mem- bers of the East York Jaycee Gray, Rector's Warden, Mr. Peter Chrisomalis, People's Warden, Mr. Donald Tansley, Secretary, Mr. John, Breen, Treasurer and Mrs. R. Spry. Unit, orought out the fact that draining the beavy water surrounding the- reactor chambers bas the effect of shutting down the operation. The neutrons are among the manyparticles gîven off wîth the spltting of an Atom: They normaliy pass througb other atoms and do nothing. How- ever. surrouîîding the reactor with beavy water slows the neutrons dowîn dllowing them to split other atoms. Draining the heavy water, therefore, returns there action to normal. Mr. Fitcbett indicated that such a shutdown is accomp- lished at an approximate rate of 10 per cent per second. Although the fuel bundies in the reactor will remain radio- active lollowing such a ne- cessitated shutdown of the operation, their radioactive level will not increase further. ,Mr. Fitcbett reiterated, on the question of wby the plant shoiîld be located at the proposed -Darlington site rather than the isolated areas of Nortiierri Ontario, the necessity of having the source of poweâ- close to the -area of dernand. Siîice most of the power should be used within a 2001 to 300 mile radius of the plant, it is deemed unwise and natural- ly costly, to locate in the nortb and bave to transmit' the power such long distances. Cost of the proposed Danl- ington plant by 1976 -figures would bce in the area of $],-billion, $8- million while the costs by 1984 projýectionsa an example, xwould run dloser to $3-billion, for a project that wiil, at peak, involve some 3,500 construction workers. taperîng off on completion to arounci 500 operational em- ployees.
