I TI TT i A I PLS A Family Tradition for 128 Years" I ETTERS Letter contained misleading information To the Editor: Your edition of Tuesday, March 29, 1994 published a let- ter from David H. Martin, Nu- clear Awareness Project, Oshawa, under the headline "Nuclear ads misleading." This letter contains far more mis- leading information than the TV ads by the Canadian Nucle- ar Association (CNA) which the author of the letter criticizes. As Mr. Martin states, "all ex- posure to radiation increases our risk of contracting cancer and other health problems" and, "nuclear power stations are designed to routinely re- Re ed ae Lee ORT PERRY lease many radioactive pollu- tants into the air we breathe and the water we drink." In fact, the minuscule amounts of radi- oactive elements released are 100 times lower than the stan- dards set as acceptable by the International Commission on Radiological Protection, and are 20 times lower than natu- rally occurring radiation expo- sure from cosmic rays, potas- sium-40 and radon gas. In fact the radiation exposure to a member of the public sitting outside the fence at Pickering nuclear station for one year is about equivalent to the expo- 139 Water Street & 6 High Street, Port Perry Written auto glass & trim nd, = Guarantee [= 4 ec INSURANCE WORK = SAVE uwto On any one replacement WINDSHIELD *50°° Insurance Claim with most insurance companies with this coupon at time of purchase 3 Locations ® Mobile Service All Work Guaranteed 985-8507 Port Perry 668-2003 Whitby [é like to mail you a copy of my "Straight Parrot Talk" because "straight" talk is so refreshing - so are the parrat color photos that capture the heart.

There is a risk of a catas- trophic accident at a nuclear plant as Mr. Martin has stated. However, the probability is ex- tremely low, and the design and operation of the plants is such as to minimize the effects on the public through emergency plans developed jointly by On- tario Hydro, the provincial gov- ernment and the municipalities located within 10 kilometres of the nuclear stations. These plans are part of the province's overall emergency planning which includes provisions for responding to natural disasters such as tornados, floods and se- rious accidents. Finally, nuclear power is eco- nomic, safe and necessary. If there were any doubts about the necessity of nuclear power in Ontario, they were certainly dispelled by the recent threat of a strike by the Power Workers Union.
