'age I The Clarington/Courticc Independent. Bownianville. Saturday, May 2, I99S Nuclear Recovery Program John Wyld, of Ontario Hydro, checks one of the two buses used to carry children from' Maple Grove Public School to a "reception centre" at Durham College. His is using a "contamination meter." If this were a real emergency, the bus would be checked for radioactive dust particles which may have clung to the vehicle after being washed. Wyld was one of the many Ontario Hydro workers morning event g|ay, April 29. at From page I Manitoba Hydro. There will be choices where to buy." Boosting standards at Darlington will require more inspections and maintenance. The corporation is also also committed to being more accountable to community concerns, McFarlane added. Darlington will be getting more staff, mainly those from Bruce Nuclear Generating Station. Personnel numbers will jump by 400 to bring the total number of workers closer to 2,000. McFarlane is confident these won't be idle extras just standing around. "We have to improve not only staff efficiency but management management practices, McFarlane notes. One of the questions she faced at Thursday's meeting was the price tag for this major overhaul. She admits it will be a costly exercise to make Ontario Hydro the world leader it once was. The cost may hit $6 billion. McFarlane said, however, the corporathon was still determined to maintain its promise to have no price increases until at least 2000. Others expressed concerns about hazardous waste. Nuclear producers around the world arc wrestling with waste disposal. Here in Canada, experts arc divided about whether it is best to bury radioactive waste deep in the Canadian Shield -- never to be retrieved -- or have it stay on site at the generating generating stations, eventually to become part of the decommissioning decommissioning of the stations. Darlington Nuclear Generating Station has two fuel bays with storage capacity capacity of 20 years. Building a third bay is an option, McFarlane notes, and that would bring storage capacity to 40 years, which is the lifetime lifetime of the station. McFarlane said there is still the possibility that a new technology will be developed years down the road where we may be able to re-use that waste for some good purpose These and other issues will be discussed at a public information meeting hosted by Ontario Hydro on May 13th, from 7-9 p.m. at Bownianville High School. Information will be provided provided on the current nuclear recovery program, specifically specifically what progress has been made in the areas of public safety, environment, employee employee safety, and production performance. performance. Bob Stricken, DNGS vice-president and Ontario Hydro's executive vice-president, vice-president, G. Carl Andognini, expect to be in attendance. Residents will be invited to share views on how Ontario Hydro can do better. HUMANITY INVESTIGATE THE BAIIÂ'f EAIIH!
