Chairman Robert Taylor announced the decision after the Hydro Board of Directors met on April 9. He said Board members had received a report on the Three Mile Island situation following a visit by Hydro engineers and Ontario Government officials to the U.S. plant last week. "We are examining most carefully all the relevant material arising from the Three Mile Island accident and we will be providing this week comparative reports on the CANDU system td the Atomic Energy Control Board, Canada's licencing authority," Taylor said. "If the situation eventually shows that there are even more improvements we can make to our operating or safety systems, that will certainly be dotle. In the meantime, the Board feels strongly that there is no cause for concern about the safe operation • of Ontario 'Hydro's nuclear plants. Our safety systems, including 1 the vacuum containment, have been widely described to the public over the past weeks," he said. The Board's decision to extend construction schedules for its three committed plants means that in-service dates will be rescheduled to gradually bring capacity into phase with projected electricity demands. It will provide an orderly transition to meet lbwered expectations in electricity demands while attempting to minimize economic impacts on industry and employment. The board took a number of factors into account before making its decision to go ahead ' with Atikikan. "Although the can- cellation of Atikikan could be the most economic course of ac- tion, the only reliable alternative to it is the - construction of an East- West transmission in- terconnection to move power to the Northwest from the rest of Ontario. The Board has no assurance that the public hearings and approval processes could be completed in time to meet the necessary' in- - service dates for this line," Taylor said. Taking these factors into consideration, •particularly the un- certainties of obtaining approval for the East- West interconnection and the social and economic impacts facing the Atikokan region, the .Board concluded that Atikokan should be completed. "The Board's decision today will result in reduced generating capacity by the mid- 1980s," Taylor said, "as • well as reduced capital requirements. It also avoids `unnecessary Cancellation and deferment costs and, most importantly, it meets the long-term anticipated 'electricity needs of our customers." The new schedule anticipates that the two coal fired Atikokan units will come into service in 1984 and 1988 respec- tively. Original in-service dates were 1983 and 1984. At Bruce B, the first two units will remain on schedule. (1983 and 1984) with the final two units each extended a year to 1586 and 1987. Completion of the first two units at Darlington will be extended - 18 t months to 1987 and 1988. The final two units are expected to be placed in service in 1989 and 1990.
