I 1 ) Lions Members Learn Letter to the Editor DetailsBehind Darlington three kilometers away from "Reactor number two at Darlington is on schedule for its opening next May," Jack Munday informed fellow Lions Lions at a meeting on August 8. The former employee of Ontario Hydro spoke to Bowmanville Lions about the Darlington Nuclear Station Station in preparation for their tour of the complex on Monday, Monday, August 22. He explained that the first generator to open would be reactor two since it's closest to the control room. Following Following its opening the other three nuclear reactors would successively be completed with the fourth and final reactor reactor starting up sometime in 1992. . Mr. Munday stressed the enormity of the Darlington, project: the largest construction construction project currently underway underway in North America. "At the present, 47% of the power power used by Ontario Hydro is nuclear. After Darlington, that figure will increase to arouna 60%...It would take windmills three miles deep all along the shore of Lake Ontario to produce the power power that Darlington will produce." produce." . Mr. Munday went into explicit explicit detail in nis explanation of the CANDU system that Darlington will use. "CANDU "CANDU stands for Canadian, deuterium, and uranium," he explained. "The CANDU system is completely designed designed and engineered by Canadians. It is indisputably The Canadian Statesman. Bowmanville. August 10. 1988 Only One Week Left Until the safest nuclear system in the world." He went on to say that once the initial building costs are covered, the reactors would produce cheap energy energy since the source of fuel is natural uranium, a resource native to northern Ontario. "Fossil fuels such as coal are extremely expensive to import," Mr. Munday pointed pointed out. "Unfortunately they also cause acid rain." He added that a nuclear plant such as Darlington would never contribute to acid rain. The CANDU reactor is the only reactor in the world that is fuelled by natural uranium, uranium, that is to say that the uranium used by CANDU reactors is in no stronger a concentration than that which comes from the ground. Why can these reactors use lower concentrated uranium uranium than other reactors? Mr. Munday explained: "That's where the deuterium oxide comes in. Deuterium oxide is just heavy water, totally totally safe, but expensive. A drinking glass of heavy water water costs about $100. This heavy water doesn't absorb as many neutrons as does the normal water other reactors reactors use." Since it doesn't absorb absorb as many neutrons, it isn't necessary to use neutron-rich neutron-rich uranium. Jack Munday said that although although heavy water is costly, costly, it is basically a pne time cost. Once the reactors are & DOME ^ CEDUNGS Tara Kitchens 97 Richmond St. W., Oshawa 432-1808 filled, it doesn't need to be continuously replaced. Mr. Munday brought a large diagram showing the way energy is produced by the activity of splitting nuclei in the uranium creating heat enough to heat the heavy water (deuterium) to 310 de- f rees Celcius which in turn eats normal, light water until until it's pure steam. The steam drives high pressure turbines turbines which in turn drive the generators. Each generator will be constantly producing 935 megawatts of electricity. "In total, Darlington will be producing almost twice (actually 1 3/4 times) the power of all generating stations stations combined on the Niagara Niagara River," related the. speaker. He also showed a site diagram diagram and explained the purpose purpose of each building and that at completion there will only be one bridge, with high security, that will access the station. Mr. Munday explained the five main reasons for the location of the nuclear station: station: 1 - it is in the Golden Horseshoe where the majority majority of the power will be used; 2 - it is on a large body of water water capable of supplying the quantities needed for four nuclear reactors; 3 - there is very good bedrock at that location, location, providing a good base for the station; 4 - there are lots of available labourers labourers in this area; and 5 - the transportation system is very good near the site (Hwy. 401). Lions had many Questions for the speaker and are eagerly eagerly awaiting their tour of the station on Monday.

So, as part of the five miles between Darlington Darlington Nuclear Plant and Eldorado Eldorado Nuclear Plant (Port Granby), we are now in the worst area in the world. Besides Besides being between two nuclear nuclear dumps, our area is being being proposed for two garbage clumps. You can't even do this to your worst political opponents. After living for all our lives in metro Toronto, we chose this area eight years ago. We thought that we could have clean air and healthy living. Now we are in a community endangered because of the metro dump: giving us a slow death through their garbage. This site is not feasible. The soil layers are porous. Small streams and rivers are all over the place. Most of the drinking water veins are going going through these sites. We, as farmers, depend on our wells for drinking. We accepted accepted a 10% yearly increase in our taxes thinking we would help the Township with roads and improvements. improvements. Little did we know that our politicians representing representing Durham are greedy for the money that Metro Toronto is awarding for this dump. Our politicians gave this site, ana are now in the process of testing our lands as none of them are residing in this area. As we all know, for the natural drinking system, water water is filtered through sand and gravel and the nature of landfill dump sites cause the spread of disease, as in Europe, Europe, the African Swine Fever, Fever, spread from central Africa Africa to Portugal, France, Spain, Italy, Sicily, and Malta Malta as written by Minister Michael Michael Wilson. In our case, bird migration migration is famous in this area. Canadian geese and other migratory birds stop over. In no time, this kind of disease will be all over North and South America as these are big continents. We can incinerate the international international garbage, but due to inefficient processes we will also polute the air, causing causing acid rain and destruction of our ozone layer due to the gases which will be emitted into the atmosphere. There is an efficient process called the plasma-gasification method, but because of finances, finances, the,- government would rather use an obsolete method of landfill dump or the cheapest method. The volume of garbage from industries, chemical, pharmaceutical, medical, hospital garbage, printed circulars circulars and car garages produce, produce, in most cases, organic acids from anaerobic breakdown breakdown of organic refuse, chlorinated hydrocarbon and volatile organic carbons as benzenes, tylenes, chlorobenzenes, chlorobenzenes, acetone, tetrahy- dro fur on, dioxane, and all metallic contaminants, and finally all the disease produced produced from microbacterial organisms will end up in rainfall,: since in most cases the chemicals are water soluble. soluble. In no time the chemicals . will get into our wells and all of the natural purification will be useless. In most cases, chemical contaminates are cancer causing agents which will get into our water system system which is important to all farmers in the area. Port Granby nuclear dump was successfully closed down, but even now the stored liquid liquid is seeping down to the lake. Now Newcastle site is in the same area, as it covers up to the lake. The properties oi the ground are the same. These Newcastle sites are a part of a nine mile mush, which doesn't make a good site for a dump. As it says in the Borden dump site environmental report, report, the spread of contaminants contaminants through underground water is at 250 metres for 10 years, and in some parts of the sites it goes as far as 600 meters spread for 10 years. As I know we are only 100 metres from the boundary of the said sites we estimate that within three months our water will not be fit for human human consumption. Right now Newtonville's water, due to the landfill site of Laidlaw, with the help of small streams and rivers through the dump, is full of contaminants produced by the garbage. The presence of organic and chlorinated hydro hydro carbons is known to go through clay fill making the clay basin layer become porous, porous, as in sandy material properties. How much more if wo have metro's dump? If they happened to be successful in getting the environmental assessment, the contaminants contaminants from this landfill site will eliminate drinking water in no time and, duo to the porous property of the sites it will finally contaminate Lake Ontario, from which nil the communities near the lake draw their water, including including towns, big cities such as Hamilton, Oshawa, and most of all Toronto and Mississauga. Mississauga. For a community water purification process, sand, carbon and gravel are used for filtration and chlorine or florine are used for disinfectant. disinfectant. Chemical contaminants are not eliminated in the drinking water, as chemicals can only be neutralized by chemical reactions. This is metro's garbage, why can't Metro Toronto solve their own garbage problem rather than polluting polluting the rest of the communities communities around the lake such as Newcastle and Newtonville. Most of us who live in this area know nothing about how to cope with a problem such as the possibility of an /'"11VT T* "1 TT 1 p LINE and hnd oi hummer men, represented by the wrong politicians that don't know the priorities of the community. The solution for each community is to recycle and build a proper incinerator. Let each community solve their own garbage problem rather than having a big volume volume of garbage concentrated concentrated in a small community like Newcastle.
