ALWAYS FASTEN YOUR SEAT
BELT
MOTORISTS! It's not surprising
that seat belts are standard equip-
ment on all new cars. • It's been
proved that they're the best pro-
tection available against death
or serious injury if you have 'a
collision s The srirprising thing
is that a lot of people aren't using
their seat belts. How about you?

Dear Mr. Gathercole,
.I would like to convey to you
the deep concern that many peop-
le in this area feel about the pro-
posed large scale increase and ex-
pansion of the Bruce Nuclear
Power and Heavy Water Complex
located near Kincardine.
. .
'Experts' assure us that there
is no real danger , many 'of us are
not prepared to show a blind faith
in the opinions of these 'experts',
not only because they have let us
down so badly in the past, but in
this particular case 'those who can
be identified are individuals like
yourself already deeply commit-
ted to the idea of nuclear expan-
.sion, or are the hirelings of a
government equally committed.
We' are told (Ont. Hydro News
Mch./Apr. 73.) that nuclear '
power stations in Ontario alone
will use 75 ,000 tons of Uranium
in 'the 70's which 'means before
1980 there will be over 75,000
tons of deadly radio-active wastes'
in storage at various points along
the. Ontario shores of our Great
Lakes System. These wastes are,
weight for weight , millions of
times more dangerous than the.
worst industrial pollutants, and un•
like' industrial wastes.cannot, by
chemical action, be converted to
harmless compounds. Once creat-
ed they•are indestructible.
Will these storage containers
stand the test of time ? could
natural factors - earth tremors etc.
- rupture them' ?. even the experts
cannot answer such questions
with any measure of certainty.
Consider the potential target they
would present to any hostile na-
tion, in a world where the great
powers still ,think in terms' of
atomic warfare. Some crazed
political extremist,Circling
over Douglas Point in a hijacked
plane would have the potential
power to destroy several counties
and permanently pollute the entire
Great Lakes System. What, a
K INCARD'INE
LANGSIDE
A Catastrophe of the same uge
nitude could be brought about by'
a mal -functipniug of the lintel
reactor , again our experts say
this is virtually impossible,
ory contradicts them, The pougs.
las Point Reactor was, put out d
commission by a jammed loadin'
'mechanism , will it ever operate
again? , across the border the
Fermi Reactor went out of canto
some years ago and plans to
evacuate the greater Detroit area
were readied , other examples
could be cited , most of them''.
hushed ; the truth is that the*
history of nuclear reactors is fat,
from reassuring, common sensq
would suggest that anything as
new and technically, complex as,
nuclear reactor can hardly be
expected to perform faultlessly.„
The large insurance companies
refuse to under-write the risks.,'
If the risks are minimal why is,'
the Bruce complex being level
ed :at a remote site where trate
mission costs - the major exile
in electrical energey - will be
excessive.
In conclusion what 'expert' is
prepared to predict 'human et
Probably, no, technical device ea

tions the. modern commercial jet
plane , yet they still crash, alm

are operated b.Y:hurnins. Can
assume infallibility in the engin

might ponder a possible mal

anyone prediCt the probability
of human error under these then
stances?
This nightmare being created ,
in our blind hunger for energy
must be halted, at present rates
expansion it, is estimated that
finite reserves of uranium will

Have you any words of com
for us Mr. Gathercole.
