Mc iniey, member of federal parliament representing Huron. is also u member of the standing con%mittee of national mat:Woes and public works, Mr. McKinley asked several questions of John 5. Foster, president of Atomic Energy of Canada Limited, when he appeared before the com- mittee about mid-May. Mr. McKinley's questions and the answers supplied by Mr. Foster follow: Mr. McKinley: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would like to ask the witness some questions regarding the Douglas Point nuclear plant. Where, to the main extent, does the electric energy produced there go? What area of Ontario does it supply now? Mr. S. Foster: As you know, Douglas Point is located on the shore of Lake Huron and it feeds into that part of the system at Hanover, so most of the energy would drop off towards the Kitchener area:- Mr. reaMr. McKinley: Could you advise us as to what stage they are in now in production and what will be the ultimate capacity when the present plans are completed? Mr. S. Foster: On the site there is the 200 -megawatt Douglas Point nuclear power station and now under con- struction is the Bruce generating station with four 750 -megawatt units. Ontario Hydro has plans for com- mencing, in two years' time, the construction of a second plant, like Bruce, of four 750 - megawatt units. So altogether there will be 6,200 megawatts of generation on the site. The Bruce heavy water plant, of course, went into operation in 1967, and for the past two or three years it has been operating -at around a 75 per cent capacity factor. So far this year it is operating at about an 85 per cent capacity factor. The first two Bruce units will start up during this fiscal year, so 1,500 megawatts should be in operation a year from now. Mr, McKinley : Did you say there were plans for another heavy water plant? Mr. S. Foster: There is also a heavy water plant on the site. 9pereAPS POW is en OW ton per year cacitlt unit, operating at a high capacity factor and *hey are bundle; .two more Ston sections on that plant. Mr. McKinley: These two 606 -ton sections are being built on the same location? • Mr. S. Foster: Yes. Mr. McKinley: Are there any plans for further con- struction of nuclear energy plants, or heavy water plants farther south on Lake Huron somewhere north of Grand Bend, between the Bruce station and Grand Bend? Are there further plans in the foreseeable future for. other plants along Lake Huron? Mr. S. Foster: I do not know of any plans. As you know, this is Ontario Hydro's program. I do not know of any plans to install a plant farther south along that shore. Mr. McKinley: That leads me. Mr. Chairman, to the next question. It has' never been quite clear to me exactly what jurisdiction your Atomic Energy of Canada Limited people have, what jurisdiction Ontario Hydro has, and the costs of these plants to each. Could we learn a little more about that, please? Mr. S. Foster: Certainly. With respect to nuclear power in Canada, ACL's main roles are to do the underlying necessary research on and development of the system, and to provide engineering with respect to the nuclear steam -raising part of the plant. So for plants that Ontario Hydro, and other utilities are building Quebec Hydro New Brunswick we, in effect, act as a con- sulting engineer, producing the design and providing some purchasing and technical supervision - ser- vices to the utility. Mr. McKinley: And the, finances? Mr. S. Foster : Perhaps we should go back. The prototype plants, which were plants built to demonstrate the system -at Douglas Point and the Gentilly I plant in Quebec - were built at federal government expense. The next stage was the con- struction of the Pickering station, In that plan an investment of a1 cent in the drat two getithat repaid out r More recently, as Ya know, the government announced that the fir. nuclear unit ,in other provinces will be financed a half the cost, usually to ceiling. Half the cost ~win b, financed by the . federal; government., This is the cash: in Quebec, where the federal government is lending up to 3150 million for the Gentilly '0` plantand in New Brunswick where the government is tending up to 3350 million foo the Point Lepreau plant. Mr. McKinley: Did they dq' that originally with Ontario, but the federal government does not do it any more' because it is not an original! installation? Is that thei reason? Mr. J. S. Foster: No, I think:; the effect is. about the same in: all the provinces. It took s little different • form in Ontario -breaking new: ground. The investment in the' two Pickering units, I think, corresponds quite well witht the loans to Quebec and to the New Brunswick Electric Power Commission. In they one case, it is an equity ins vestment and, in the other case, it is a loan. But they are quite comparable. Mr. McKinley: Does the federal government have any finances involved in the Douglas Point plant at all or is it all Ontario Hydro? Mr. J. S. Foster: No, as I. mentioned, that was a; demonstration plant. It was not built to be an economic plant. It was built to learn and that is about 95 per cent'. federal investment and th same thing with the Gentilly I plant in Quebec. Mr. McKinley: Are the heavy water plants at Douglas Point on Lake Huron. plants that are built learn a r are they meant to be production plants? Mr. J. S. Foster: No, that is a commercial plant. It wa built by ACL and sold at full cost recovery to Ontari Hydro. The extensions referred to earlier are being built by Ontario Hydro. We are not involved in those.
