Morrison, Director of Design and Development at Ontario Hydro, when Brussels hosted the Ontario Municipal Electric Associ- ation's (OMEA) annual meeting on Thursday. Mr. Macaulay said it's very fortunate that, "we have the competent people we do in the electrical sys- tem. We have a unique system in Ontario. It works and it works well." He added that the amount of local autonomy and self- determination where hydro is concerned made the system unique in the world. He said the hearings that have been taking place in regard to nuclear safety were a good thing. "It's a good thing for you and for us because the people of Ontario have a way of being informed that they would never get any other way." He said they (Ontario Hydro) liked that kind of happening because they want to make better decis- ions for per ple of Ont- ario. M. ccaulay then made some points abc.lt nuclear power. "When we're talking about whether or not it's safe, remember that when you get away from the safety side of nuclear, that you have to phrase questions related to nuclear, compared to other things." "The thing that keeps coming home to me is let's pursue all of the alternatives available to us," he said. "He said, "The thing you've got to remember is it's here i, it's now} and that tomorrow morning a lot of switches are going to be switched on, and a lot of The market at.

"Until we have some alter- natives, factories have to function, people have to make a living. I don't think we in Ontario Hydro are doing a good enough job of making people understand the alternatives here and now. "Our nuclear power is the bridge to the future," he said. Bill Morrison also 'poke on the nuclear energy, situation and the newspaper articles which he said were cot all favorable. He said one of the reasons for this is because we live next to the U.S. where they have a very strongly organ- ized anti-nuclear organi- zation that the nuclear plants get very poor support from the government, and that there had been a rapid rise in costs. He said that these kind of things had brought the nuc- lear industry in the States to a standstill. "We have to be careful that that doesn't happen to Ontario," he said. "When you look at nuclear plants, they seem to be less risk to the public than coal," he said, pointing out that it's dangerous to go down in the mines and transportation of coal does lead to hazards in the air the public breathes. He said that people are critical of licencing require- ments for the nuclear plants visualizing that these plants have potential disasters in them. He said he thought that .comes from the scare from Three Mile Island and he didn't want to down-grade its seriousness but that it could have been avoided by better designing of the plant, better training for their oper- ators and by making sure the plant was designed to cope with the failure of equipment and human error. "We're quite confident Churches gave the Children's Anniversary story. The church was deco- rated with beautiful flowers which added to the service and the interior had also been newly decorated and the church was filled for this• special service.

"The release from nuclear stations of radioactivity dur- ing normal operation is, extremely small. We feel our nuclear plants are very safe and we're doing our best to convey that to the public and to the people who will listen to us," Mr. Morrison said. David Armour, President of the Electrical and Elec- tronic Manufacturers Associ- ation of Canada also spoke at the meeting and expressed disappointment that not enough attention had been paid to electricity as an energy alternative to oil and gas.
