BY JACK RIPOBLIoMVP The Legislatures Select Cenunittee on HYdre Affairs llas.etnteluded that Ontarie4 nnelear reaCterS are "aeeep- tably safe," However„ the final report of the all-PartY 14 -member committee adds "there are real risks in the peaceful use of nuclear po. vier- .absolute safety eon never 1m totally assured," The report makes several recommendations to- improve nuclear safety, while point- ing out weaknesses in the deSign, operation and rpt. latin of Ontarie*$ nuclear industry. "The ceminittee leared that it is impossible to assure that there IS absolute safety in the opera- tion of Ontario's reactors. . There is a broad range of possible accidents and, sub- sequent consequences with varying likelibeods of occur- rence. "Even so, given the clear (=ointment of Ontario Hy - rite te satety, the past safety =cord of the existing tea- tors and the itlesign meChati- isms to limit the eonSeMten- ces of possible accidents. t1fl committee found that the risk of a seriottS. accident PeCarr- 'Mg in any single reactor is ,extreindy small and that the reactors were, therefore, ac- ceptably safe." "It would be attractive for this Committee to he able to, Say, simply and directly ithati Ontario's, reactors are safe, or Ontario's reactors are not safe," However, "direct, simple statements cannot be made," It is not possible to say that a nuclear reactor is absolutely • safe because there are risks asso- ciated with nuclear power. "It is not right to say that a tastrophic accident is im,. possible; there is alwayS some chance that the worSt can happen. In a situation where absolutes are mislead- ing, the committee is forced .44S- ••• •,•*' " to make relative judgments' • Catastrophic accidents are • Very much on people's minds at present, with the potential- ly very dangerous situation in Mississauga, following_ the accident to a CP Rail freight train.

The disaster dosed three Major highwaYs. caused 700 patients to be moved from two, hospitals, and something like half a million people in the area to be evacuated and housed in private residences elsewhere, in high schools, shopping • centres, ete.

Addressing the Oder, ence, the Prentier stepped up his *fence of the Canadian. consumer, and insisted that his position reflected natiofl.. al concerns. "1 believe, he said, "that the.

Liberal Leader • Stuart Smith said the Premier's performance at the Confer- ence "was successful neither from the. Point of view of' getting our price argument across nor from the point of view of getting redistribution of the benefits of such increases, "Ontario has not succeeded in persuading a single province to our point of view -not even the poorer consuming provinces.' "We can expect that he'd have trouble convincing the oil -pro. ducing provinces. But when he can't even get an ounce of support from the eastern provinces, it's incredible. He had nothing to show the Frime Minister or the other' provinces in terms of Conser- vation policies, or an Indus- sttate8Y to create new jobs and to keep the economy moving in these very tough times." The Legislature has ad0P- ted several resolutions which CoakireMOve much of Ontar- io I1Y4ro`a bidePendence in awarding contracts, despite intense protests from Conser* vative members.
