Nuke Plant Shuts Down Unit Two Unit Two at the Darlington Nuclear Generating Station was shut down Tuesday evening, January 6th, to locate and fix a small internal tube leak in one of its four boilers. The boilers contain heavy water inside tubes and ordinary water outside the tubes. The heat from the heavy water is transferred transferred to the light water to produce steam for the turbine turbine generator system. Ontario Hydro said the shutdown will prevent the build-up of tritium in the steam system which will ensure not only a safe working environment, but will also ensure that emissions emissions do not go above normal normal levels. Unit Two was scheduled scheduled for a planned maintenance maintenance outage this spring. As a result, the majority of that work will be brought forward and completed now.

Adult Crossing Guard For Courtice Road Parents of school-aged children want more adult crossing guards along busy Clarington streets. Several requests for adult crossing guards in Bowmanvillc and Courtice have been before Clarington Council, with many of them being denied. However,'on Monday, Jan. 5, one such request was approved for Courtice Road, on the north side of Moyse Drive. Clarington's general purpose committee is recommending recommending an adult crossing guard be hired for this location in September of 1998. A report from the Public Works Department states, "crossing guards are required when students students experience long delays while waiting for safe gaps in traffic." The report added that guards are not approved "just because students are unable to cross the street as soon as they reach it." An adult crossing guard will cost the municipality municipality $6,100 per year and is needed since the school board will no longer be providing buses to Courtice North Public School at the beginning of the 1998-99 school year. Building Activity Up $48 Million Clarington's builders were almost twice as busy in 1997 as they were in 1996. The final statistics from last year reveal that the value of construction receiving permits in 1997 totalled $115,926,538. This compares to a tally of $67,801,280 for 1996. It was Clarington's busiest year for construction construction since 1989. The Clarington building progress report tabled at the Jan. 5 meeting of Claringlon's general purpose purpose and administration committee also summed up building activity for December. Last month, 129 permits were issued by the Municipality of Clarington. The permits were for construction valued at $18,294,190. Included in those statistics statistics were: $10,375,190 in residential construction; $4,394,000 in commercial construction; and $3,525,000 for other construction. construction.
