AN OPEN INVITATION TO RESIDENTS OF CLARINGTON. As Executive Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer of Ontario Hydro, I would like to invite Clarington residents to join Darlington Site Vice President, Bob Strickert and me at a public meeting on May 13, 7-9 PM at Bowmanville High School. The meeting is one of the ways in which Ontario Hydro is focusing on our goal of being more open, accountable and responsive to neighbours' concerns. A key recommendation of the Independent Integrated Performance Assessment released last August was to set specific goals for the nuclear recovery program and to monitor progress on a continuing basis. We are committed to ensuring this takes place. One of the purposes of the May 13 meeting is to report on our progress to date, specifically in the areas of public safety, environmental performance, employee safety and production performance. The staff of the Darlington Nuclear Station are highly skilled professionals dedicated to improving the performance of the station on every measurement. This includes a commitment to building a strong and sustaining relationship with the local community. Staff members will be at the meeting to answer questions and listen to your concerns.
