GTA mayors a %regional chairs meeting i Whitby last Fridyay upprted efforts to acquire the Interritional Ther- monuclear Experimiental Reactor (ITER) projeet for Canada. If Canara is succesafuli land- ing the *20-billion fusion test reactor, it will b. bufit alongsde either the Darlington or Brýoe nuclear generating plants in Ontario. An estimated 87,000 jobs would be created *i the construc- tion and operating phases of the project that wil b. approi- mately haîf the size of the Dar- lington pelant near Bowmanville. GTA delegates overwhelmnqgly endorsed a recommendation that calîs on the federal governiùàent to select the Darlin n site. Thefr decision fo eda bief presentation from Don Dauto- vitch, pro am manager of the Canadian Fusion Fuels Techno- logy Project.. «Canada bas a very good chance of obtaiing the project,» said a confident Dautovitch. «The worlcforce is i place, we have the raw (construction) materials and we have a mono- poly on tritium.» As Dautovitch explained, the ITER is a new concept i energy production. It would befueI d by burning tritium, the waste inaterial produced by nuclear reactors. Currently, there ls no practical use for tritium. Ontario Hydro stores aIl of the tritium produced at its various reactors i the province at the Darlingtn plant. Accordinç te Dautovitch, about $2 billion is spent annuaîly on fusion research around the world with more thgn 30 plants of difteen sizes exploring vani- ous methods of fusion. The ITER is the most exten- sive undrtaling ta date and it will b. funed 9y" a coalition of countries includlingt Canada, the United States, Rui 1 Japan and members of theEuoa Union. Canadas share would be about $600 million and b., funded byv the federal and provincial goverrnments and Hydro. "Ontario Hydro feels it can accommodate it on either site (Bruce and Darlington) without affecting te current operation and imacting the environment,» si DautovitcJh. Although Russia has already indicated that it favours Canada, the U.S., Japan and four Euro- pean nations, aIl want the project as well, Dautovitch said. «It's not up to Canada or any other (one) country," h. noted. «It would onl go ahead if al countries are in agreement." Participating countries have signed treaties covering the design p hase, Dautovitch said, but additional agreements wil b. needed beyondithis stage. As for Canada's involvement reports are now being prepared for the federal government . Fol- lowing a positive response from Ottawa, Ontario's co-oeration will b. sought, Dautovitch said. 'The projeet wîll also b. subject ta a thorough environmental assessment, lh. emphasiz.d. «Ever sînce th.y (proponents) came ta our. municipality we've had nothing but encouragement from the people we've talk.d ta ... the .scientists, univ.rsitypro- fessors said Clarington 4ayor Diane fhamre. (Up to 600 scientists could b. worling at the. plant at any on. time, Dautovitch pointed out.)

Although Durham politicians view the project as an economnic boon ta the region, not everyone has embràoed te rpoa. Toronto Major Barbara Hall noted that Durham Nuclear Awareness and other (Janadian environmental groups have ban- ded together in opposition ta the pro'ect. Dautovitcli maid the objections deal primarily wi th the enorm- ous coot of a still ' unproven tech- noloff and the use of tritium on In iddressinqthe first concern, Dautovitch smmd the economic potential, of such a development Will sgtili b. realized, even if the technical aspects falli .short. 9ff, i the end, fusion doesn't work ... and we believe, it wilL..it will have no relevance ta the economic benefits of the projecto' he said.
