.Optimism about the future -
coupled with concerns for

come out of this year's annual
conference of the Canadian
Nuclear Association.

dustrial potential, export
markets, domestic expansion

One thing that came through
„loud and' clear was the need. to
explain the benefits of nuclear
power in order to gain public
acceptance. The message was

He said the association had
recently made known to t'e

with them in a joint public in-

While. nb-ting that public

said. "In the past, the sheer

and warned, tha`the industry
could suffer a shortage of

"We must assure that the

"While tthe.number-' does not

Larry Woodhead, nuclear
operations manager for Ontario
I-lvdro, discussed Hydro's
.present nuclear operations and
its future. plans. He indicated
the utility could have 25
million kilowatts of nuclear
capacity installed by •1990.
That yvould be between 65 and
70 percent of the province's
el*ctrical energy at the time.
CONSERVATION URGED
The CNA has released a
policy statement calling for
more specific guidelines than,
those contained' in the federal
government report, "An Energy
Policy" for' Canada."
The association'As recommen-
dations are to ' bei made in 'a
submission -to the Minister 'of
Energy, Mines and Resources.
µWhile"the association,said it
suppsupportedthe' general policy
,v
guidelines' contained In the
report released in June of 1973,
it saes the need 'to conserve
fossil fuels, especially oil and ,
natural gas, for those ap-
plications ,,where alternative
'sources of energy °cannot be
substituted. 'This «..pould put
.more emphasis, on nuclear
power.
The • CNA also feels specific
attention should be directed t'o
ensuring that security of ,energY,.
supply for all. regions of
Canada is safeguarded, and in-
centives are provided. to 'en-.
courage its,:efficient use.
The.policy statement calls for
encouragement:: of interconnec-
tions inter,provincia•lly' and bet-
ween Canadian and U.S. elec-
tric utilities where there are
mutual advantages•i•n economy
and security of • supply. .�
It Said' environmental
regiiirerrients• should be
established based on sound
scientific. and social principles.
It' alio ,wants resource ex-
ploration an development to
