GlowingSigns When people come into the auditorium at the Pickering Information Centre, they expect expect to learn about radiation from the slide show. But even before the presentation starts, they are told that the exit signs at the auditorium's doors are not powered by electricity, electricity, but by tritium gas. Under normal lighting, the newly-installed signs look like ordinary exit signs. In the dark, however, the red background background becomes invisible and the white lettering takes on a greenish glow. That's because, inside the letter-shaped tubes in each sign, phosphor crystals and tritium gas react to provide a self-sustaining light source. Tritium is a by-product of Candu reactor operation. Electricity Demand This year's July peak electricity electricity demand of 15.13 million kilowatts was down slightly from last year's peak of 15,16 million kilowatts. That's because because July 1984 wasn't as hot as July 1983 and so air conditioning conditioning wasn't needed as much. Energy consumption was up 3.7 percent from the same month last year, Almost 8.6 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity electricity were consumed in July, compared to 8.3 billion kilowatt-hours kilowatt-hours used in July, 1983.
