I will outline the numbers and types of employment that would occur as a result of new nuclear build in Clarington. This information assumes peak personnel for a 2-unit CANDU build. A five-year construction schedule from site preparation to commercial operation is assumed for each plant with 18 months for site preparation and 72 months for construction. It also assumes 6-12 months for testing and commissioning activities. The labour necessary to support CANDU construction includes carpenters, electricians, operating engineers, construction labourers, pipefitters and other personnel. CRAFT DESCRIPTION Boilermakers Carpenters Electricians/Instrument Fitters Iron Workers Insulators Labourers Concrete Masons Millwrights Operating Engineers .... Painters Pipefitters i Sheetmetal Workers ........ Tpamctp rc TOTALCONSfRUCTiON LABOUR. PEAK PERSONNEL-2 UNITS .......96 256 464 ...464 48 256 48 80 ...208 ...48 432 80 ....80 ....2560 The total construction labour outlined above represents over 60% of the total on-site labour during plant construction. In addition to this, various other workers will be needed in supervision, indirect labour and quality control. In total, 4200 jobs would be created by a new nuclear build in Clarington. These jobs would be highly-skilled and would be of high value to Clarington's economy. This new build will have the added benefit of maintaining and enhancing a highly-skilled and highly-paid workforce in Clarington. 2006 FINAL PROPERTY TAX BILLS ARE DUE: SEPTEMBER 21* 2006 METHODS OF PAYMENTS ACCEPTED From the Convenience ofYour Own Home: Internet & telephone banking payments are accepted at most Financial Institutions.
