.ur Ontario needs apublic-private
partnership to operate the .truce
Nuclear Generating Station
The people of Ontario have.billions of dollars invested
in Rhe'Candu Nuclear Reactors, 3 and 4•at the BruceW`
Generating&talion.. -
NQW Ontario Hydro has announced that it's going to
close the reactors down, The reason? Hydro says it doesn't
have the"managernent or resources to run and improve
the .two reactors, •
The Power Workers say, "Fair en' °ugh, If J4ydro ear4
do it, Let's find'someone who can,"
A pahli -private partnership wilt protect the billions al,dofors
we've already sunk into the Bruce 'A' reactors, .
Under. Hydros plan, we Il'lieep on paying interest bri the
maneywespent huilding.the;liruceW reactors, buc;we'll: ,
get no 'return. We'll also have to spend hundreds of
' millions buying electri:ity from the U.S. A public priaate
partnership can:tceep'the,generators in service - creaking:
earnings to service the delft, and avoiding the' extra expense. .
of buying replacement power to meerbntario's needs.
A pubiic*private partnership viiIl preserve hundreds of, jobs '.
In the Bruce Peninsula:
Under Hydro's plan, hundreds of trained Power•Wotkers<°
and their fasi►►lies:wi!! be forced -to shove out of the Bruce.
Peninsula, and hundreds of others will probably. be laid of .
and their skills: will be lost, A.public-private partnership
will keep those, Jobs in the Bruce,' and will;pnt those skills
to work to meet Ontario's energy. needs,
A puhkt-private,portnersitiow* modemae the Brure'A' reads$
so they con meet. Ontario's energy needs fir years to. come.
Onta'ria's•nuclear ptants.used to be rated among:thekest
in the world, but last.year, Hydro acknowledged.
what• the Power Workers have been saying for. years. Poor
management, poor` maintenance and excessive srafFcuts •
'were:degrading the•performanee of our nuclear program/
'The World Association of Nuclear Operators uses a
Performance lndeit Rating based on nine different measures
,ofaplant's effectiveness; The average'performanec rating
, forrhe nuclear industry worldwide is 81: entarto Hydro's
rating;was only 58 in the thirst month of.19, 98• That's not'
good'enoughl
Hydro says it doesn't, have enough management or
resources to operate and modernize the Bruce ``N. gent dtors.
The Power Workers says "pair enough. If Hydro can't `
do'ir, let's find .siomeone:who cart.,"A public4,rlvate
partnership can be a big parr o€ the solution for,elecrricity
in' Ontario.
We're part of the; solution, too:
We're the Power Workers.
We've been keeping Ontarios lights on -for more"than
5b years'and whether its restoring power'after a storm'
or helping make Ontarios nuclear plants among the moat,
efficient in the world again -- we are part of :the solution: '
Theieaple part. of Hydro.
