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 construction schedule from site preparation to commercial operation 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 construction labourers, pipefitters and other personnel. CRAFT DESCRIPTION PEAK PERSONNEL - 2 UNITS Boilermakers . 96 Carpenters 256 Electricians/Instrument Fitters 464 .Iron Workers 464 Insulators 48 Labourers 256 Concrete Masons 48 Millwrights 80 Operating Engineers 208 Painters 48 Pipefitters 432 Sheetmetal Workers 80 Teamsters .80 TOTAL CONSTRUCTION LABOUR 2560 The total construction labour outlined above represents over 60% of the total on-site labour during plant construction.
