Horrified by nuclear project proposal

Dear Editor: ;

An article appearing in the
Vancouver Sun, Nov. 21,
headed Former Energy
Minister Calls For Nuclear
Power, is horrifying.
MacDonald. ‘asserts. the
project will not create. any
serious™
problem. The power is to be
exported to the United
States.

The chief difficulty: is
political, he says, the anti-
nuclear lobby whose
arguments should not be
heeded. Yet the members of
this lobby are people, unlike
the, nuclear experts, without

“environme nt.

‘any vested interests in
nuclear power development.

MacDonald severely
blasts American economic
policies with respect to the
absolute embargo on

uranium from Canada, not a

neighborly action in his
opinion. Those of us who are
aware of the hazards in-
volved in uranium mining, to
the miners, to the public,
from radioactive tailings
must be glad. This embargo
slowed down the expansion
of the uranium mining in-

dustry in Canada,

active wastes.
during nearly forty years
have not yet discovered a
safe way of. disposing: of
these lethal materials. Any
accident to a nuclear power

plant would endanger
Canadians more than
Americans.

Nuclear power plants can
only be in commission
twenty or thirty years. They
are dangerous and must be
guarded indefinitely. Who
will pay for this onerous
task? The Canadian tax-

payer?

large

Scientists:

To build these plants the
enormous capital required is
to be borrowed from the
United States doubtless at a
high rate of interest. The
nuclear industry is capital
intensive and provides few
jobs,

The former minister of
energy does not seem to be
aware or perhaps refuses to
be aware of the utterly
dangerous nature of nuclear
technology.
