PAGE 14, WITBY FRSE PRESS,, WEDNESDAy- APRIL-27f. 1988 Local nuclear ,group supports moratorium on nuclear plants A local nuclear watchdog group is asing residents of Durham to support a House of Commons standing committee report which calîs for a moratorium on the construction of nuclear power plants until an acceptable solution for the disposal ýof high-level radioactive waste is found. The group, Nuclear Awareness Project, held a press conference at Whitby Public Library on Monday. The event was also attended by New Democrat Lynn McDonaîd, (MP Broadview- Greenwood), federal environment critic and a member of the standing committee. McDonald said the report, titled 'The Eleventh Houe' was introduced into the House in January. Under Commons' rules, the Conservative government bas until June 20 to respond to the report which deals with high- level radioactive waste in Canada. McDonald said the conimittee, miade up mostly of Conservative inembers, was unanimous about its main conclusion that "A moratorium on the construction of nuclear power plants in Canada should be imposed until- the people of Canada have agreed on an acceptable solution for the disposai of high-level radioactive waste." But according to McDonald, there is no "acceptable solution" for waste disposai. However, she added that some members of the committee were optimistic that a solution is "around the corner." Suzanne Elston, a member of Durham Nuclear Awareness, said the solution is conservation and renewable energy sources. According to Norman Rubin, a member of Energy Probe, there are currently 20 nuclear plants in Canada, including the Darlington reactor which is under construction.
