Douglas MIA's performance
has not diminished the confi-
dence of the Ontario Govern-
ment or Ontario Hydro in the
natural uranium, heavy water
reactors which are the founda-
tion of the Canadian nuclear
program.
The Canadian natural uran-*
ium, heavy water reactor offers
the best means of producing a
reliable supply of electricity at
the lowest possible cost. Hydro,
in addition, is constantly re,.
viewing all techniques to take
advantage of new developments.
Hydra could have stood by
and waited for others to develOp
an acceptable system. But it
chose to go ahead,in partner-
ship with others, with a system
that is uniquely Canadian. us-
ing as fuel the relatively inex-
pensive natural uranium with
which -our province is so richly
endowed. .
' 'Evidence to date suggests
Canada's approach has paid off.
Now, the engineers are confi-
dent the Canadian designed
power reactor will be' a highly
economic proposition.

Hydro's four -unit, 2,160, 000 -
kilowatt Pickering station, one
of the largest nuclear plants be-,
ing built in North America. It
'is hoped to have, power flowing '
'from the first unit by 1971. Unit -
2 will follow later in the year,
and units ,3 and 4 are scheduled
for service 'at yearly intervals.
If things go as, planned,
Pickering and Douglas Point .
will be supplying power equiva-

lent to the electrical require-
ments of 2, 000, 000 Ontario
homes by 1973.
-°- Hydro plans to make a major
new commitment in Canadian
heavy water reactors before the
end of -1968. •The 'Commission
expects to undertake new de-
velopments involving 3,000,0001
kilowatts of nuclear capacity,
and in alI likelihood the size
of the generating unitswill be '
.75,000 kilowatts.
Hydro had scheduled more
than one million kilowatts of
-new generating capacity in 196',
That goal was not reached Be-
cause of a combination of cir-
cumstances that included late
deliveries of equipment, failure
of certain equipment to meet-

strike by 3,000 construction
workers which began III May
and was not fully settled wail
thiaJanuary. The strike
brought work on a billion-aud•
a- quarter dollar expansion pro-
gram to a virtual halt and
eeused eonipletion dates to be
deferred on about 280 projects.
The strike stemmed from
Hydro's refusal to grant these
four. Major concessions asked
•for by the' .Allied Construction
Council; that Hydro recruit ex-
Clusively through the member
unions; that the unions deter,.
mine the source of equipment
and machinery i,nstal}ed at
construction sites; that jurist:lie!'
tional disputes be settled by a
tribunal in Washington; that
nonrwOrking foremen be mem..
bers of the bargaining unit.
Hydro felt that to accede to
them demands would be toile--
linquith its responsibility as a
trustee of a publicly -owned,.
province -wide enterprise carry.
ing an activities in a variety of
union and non-union labor
markets. Hydro held that it
could not deny to any qualified
worker or contractor the oppor•
tunity to bid or work on Hydro
projects.
The strike affected projects
ranging from minor line work
tomajorgenerating stations;
whose output was essential to
Ontario's future power needs,
It is to meet these needs that
Hydro planned the present ex-
pansion program, which 4s de-
signed to provide within 10,
years more than double the
commission's present generat-
ing, capacity of about 9 miilion
kilowatts.
Hydro is constantly exchangr
ing power with,interconnected
utilities in the United States, •

ties when it is most economic'

During 1967, Hydro sold ap-
proxithately $1.500,000 worth

bought only about $669.000
