Early in February -Port Hope council voted down a suggestion that the Town be host for waste in Port Granby, Welcome and in Port Hope. But after a meeting on February 2Oth with Mr. Dennis Wood, chairperson of the federal task force, council turned the tables to the point that Port Hope is now considered a possible home along with Deep River for the one million cubic metres of historic nuclear waste in the three centres. The vote carried eight to one. Mr. Wood told the meeting that the federal government would prefer to deal with the waste in ail three centres in a single storage site rather than to use multiple sites. The goverument bas to consider cost effectiveness. It was said- that the government was not likely to give Port Hope a storage facility for its own waste while at the samne time trying to find storage for waste from Port Granby and Welcome. It was noted that Port Hope had but only one quarter of the total waste. It was further noted that it was, imperative that the federal goverument deal, with the decommissioning -orders that have been placed on Port Granby in Clarington and Welcome i n Hope Township. This would likely happen before work would be undertaken on waste in Port Hope. Liberals to make choice (Continued from page 1) when electcd 'I will listen to you".
