Sr. Public Students Learn about Television Ail last week, the English students of Bowmanville Senior Public Schcx>l participated in a television workshop. Four students from the Ontario Teachers Education College and Ross Johnston, a member of our board of education, showed the students how to operate the various types of equipment that are used when video taping. The students have to hand in a final project at the end of this week which will be a tape of a television show that they will have scripted, produced and directed. Here, students are rehearsing for their production of "Charlie's Devils." Choosing the better view are these students who are operating the switching equipment behind the scenes.

( 1300 Dundas St. E. 668-6828 Whitby NUCLEAR Canadian nuclear-electric stations have so far produced more than 100 billion kilowatt- hours of electricity worth $1 billion, enough energy to supply Metro Toronto's current needs for about five years. The total volume of irradiated fuel, about 1930 megagrama (1,900 tons) could be contained in a 9.14 metre (30-foot) cube, or seven 12.19 metre (40 foot) railway boxcara. Haîf of Canada's current resources of uranium, about 305,000 megagrama (300,00ô tons) could operate Ontario Hydro's Pickering A Generating Station continuously for 1,100 years. Ontario Hydro nuclear- electric stations, which use domestie supplies of natural uranium, have so far produced the electrical equivalent of 30 million megagrama of imported coal. At current prices, thîs coal would coat more than $1 billion. 0 The- nuclear induatry directly employa approxi- mately 31,000 persons in Canada todlay, ranging from uranium minera to the operators and maintainers of nuclear-electric stations. About three-quarters of them live in Ontario. By conserva-, tive estimates, an additional 70,000 Canadians are indirect- ly employed in supplying componenta, equipment and materials for nuclear facilities. Working in an Ontario Hydro nuclear-electric station is one of the safeat occupations in the country. Since the late 1950's there bas flot been a single fatality in the workforce nor any bast time attributable to radiation in close to 40 million manhours. The safety performance is similar to that achieved by office and staff Wokers in Hydro'a head offic#tuillding in Toronto. Unexpected Power Sales Help Cut Hydro Increase Ontario Hydro's 1977, revenues exceeded original forecasts an.d effectively reduced the municipal rate increase for 1978 to about five per cent. In Hydro's annual report, released today, Chairman Robert Taylor said 1977 revenues were above anti- inflation guidelines and extra revenue for last year is being returned to customers,_ with înterest, in the form of rebates on their bills over the 12 months of 1978., The annual report also said theincrease in 1978 rates to rural customers would be about 5.7 per cent. The Hydro Board of Directors had approved a rate increase of 9.5 per cent for bulk power rates for 1978. Mr. Taylor said, two favor- able operating factors in 1977 were larger than expected export power sales and the outstanding performance, of the Pickering nuclear generating station. Nuclear generating stations accounted for more than 25 per cent of Hydro's electricity production in 1977, the report said. "Last year, for the second consecutive year, Unit 3 at Pickering recorded the highest productivity of any large commercial nuclear reactor in the world,"' Mr. Taylor said. The 1977 total unit energy cost for the Pickering nuclear plant was approxi- mately one-haîf the cost of electricity produced by Hydro's most efficient coal- fired generating station. The annual report also said a lagging economy, improved conservation efforts by con- sumera and rate increase in 1976 and 1977 had a substantial effect on electricity demand increases last year. The 1977 increase was the smallest in Ontario, in 33 years';- 2.2 per cent over,1976. But despite the smal overall increase, 1977 saw the utility record an alI-time peak demand of 15,901 megawatts on January 18. Hydro's 1977 operating results showed a marked improvement over 1976. Net income last year was $194 million, $141 million more than in 1976. Total '1977 revenues of $1,969 million exceeded allowable anti-infla- tion levels by $122 million. Secondary export power sales increased 133 per cent in, 1977 over 1976. Most of these secondary sales went to 'aid utilities i the United States. Substantial progress was made in 1977 on the utility's power developments.. On September 1, the first two unita of the 3,200,000 kilowatt Bruce A nuclear station were declared in service. The third unit was added in February, 1978, and the lat unit should be in service by~ early 1979. Mr. Taylor said work on the Bruce B station la well underway, with the firat unit expected to be in service by 1983. Construction at the four-unit Pickering B nuclear station continuedf. The first of four 540,000 kilowatt units is expected to be in operation by 1981. To ensure adequate fuel suppliea for Hydro s nuclear generating stations, the utility The Canaclian Statesman, Bowmanville, May 24. 1978 5 negotiated 'two long-range uranium contracta in 1977. In Detember, a contract was signed with Denison Mines Limited for uranium supplies to the year 2011, and one month later a secondcontract for future uranium supplies was opened with Preston Mines Limit.ed. The two contracta. were approved by the provincial government, and may be the most significant ever signed by 0ntario Hydro. Chairman Taylor said the contracts commit a substantial part of Ontario's known uranium resources to the electrie power requirementa of the people of Ontario for the next 40 years. Mr. Taylor said conserva- tion remains an essential issue, even with lower demand forecasts for the 1980's. The latest load forecast, prepared this year, preclicts an average annual growth in electricity demand of 5.5 er cent until 1987, followed by a, slow decline to about 4.5 per cent by the end of the century. OBITUARY JAMES MOOiir A well known resident of R.R. 3 Pontypool for 30 years, James Moore, aged 67, died on Saturday, May l3th, 1978, at Peterborough Civic Hospital. He flaci been iii smnce January.
