The slides Philip used are attached as Appendix 1. 4.2 Progress Report by CNSC concerning their Action Plan: Lessons Learned from the Fukushima Nuclear Accident Philip Webster, Director, Darlington Regulatory Program Division, provided a progress report on the Lessons Learned from the Fukushima Accident and the Actions Taken by the CNSC. The highlights of Philip's presentation were: Philip reviewed actions the CNSC took immediately following the Fukushima nuclear accident resulting in the CNSC Task Force Report and Action Plan. The highlights of Philip's presentation were: • In October 2011, the CNSC Fukushima Task Force Report was released and had 13 recommendations divided into 4 major areas that included: • Strengthening defence -in -depth • Enhancing emergency preparedness • Improving regulatory framework and processes • Enhancing international co- operation • April 2012, the CNSC management accepted the conclusions and recommendations of the Task Force Report. • May - 2012, the CNSC Action Plan was developed from the Task Force recommendations. • The CNSC Action Plan will be fully implemented by December 2015 and the progress will be closely monitored. • The Action Plan resulted in the NPP licensees taking the following action: o Improving capabilities to withstand a prolonged loss of power o Improving response to containment challenge /performance • Implementing the Severe Accident Management Program • Evaluating the structural integrity of the spent fuel pools at temperatures in excess of design temperature • Ensuring instrument and equipment survivability in case of severe accidents • Providing emergency mitigating equipment and resources including back -up power • Providing external support and mutual aid agreements to all Canadian nuclear utilities • Providing automated real -time station boundary radiation monitoring systems • The Action Plan resulted in the CNSC taking the following action: • Enhancing emergency preparedness by integrating off -site nuclear emergency plans and prioritizing full scale exercises • Improving the regulatory framework and processes that included emergency preparedness • Enhancing international cooperation with other international regulators and review of international recommendations • Set -up an action plan to address all the findings 'and recommendations by other international regulators Philip Webster will continue to update the DNHC on the CNSC's Lessons Learned from the Fukushima Nuclear Accident. The slides Philip used are attached as Appendix 2. 4.3 Report by Greenpeace on the Lessons Learned from the Fukushima Nuclear Accident Shawn- Patrick Stensil, of Greenpeace, provided a presentation on the Greenpeace's Lessons Learned from the Fukushima Nuclear Accident. Shawn- Patrick indicated "Institutional Failure" was identified as a cause of the Fukushima nuclear accident not just the earthquake and resulting tsunami. He indicated the nuclear regulator in Japan and TEPCO, the nuclear power plant operator, ignored earthquake and tsunami risk warnings. If the risk warnings that were identified had been acted on, the Fukushima nuclear accident could have been prevented. The highlights of Shawn - Patrick's presentation were: • Institutional Failure is a significant contributor to risk but it has not been mentioned in the Scope of the CNSC's Action Plan for the Lessons Learned from the Fukushima Nuclear Accident. • Simple technical solutions do not always address root problems that may require institutional changes. • Current risk models appear to under estimate accident risk since we have had three major nuclear accidents worldwide with Chernobyl, Three Mile Island and Fukushima involving Institutional Failure. • It is important to integrate empirical experience into risk models because they inform environmental and safety reviews as well as emergency planning. 6 • Discussion on how to make the CNSC more independent as the Canadian nuclear regulator of NPPs was not included in the Task Force report on the Fukushima Nuclear Accident although it was suggested by Greenpeace. The current proposed Darlington Nuclear Refurbishment and Continued Operation Project review should acknowledge Institutional Failure as a contributor to accident risk to ensure the adequacy of emergency preparedness in case of a severe accident. He noted, however, that the CNSC has not acknowledged Institutional Failure -in the final review report. The slides Shawn - Patrick Stensil used are attached as Appendix 3 and more information can be accessed at www. rg eenpeace.ca. 4.4 Progress Report by OPG on the Lessons Learned from the Fukushima Nuclear Accident Mark Elliott, Senior Vice President and Chief Nuclear Engineer for OPG, provided an update on the Lessons Learned and Actions taken by OPG from the Fukushima Nuclear Accident. The highlights of Mark's presentation were: Mark reported that the Key Findings of the OPG review from the Lessons learned from the Fukushima Nuclear Accident were: • Defend against fuel damage and maintain containment including loss of the power grid and on -site power. • Focus on severe accident prevention in addition to severe accident mitigation and emergency response. • Anticipate and plan for the unexpected. • Identify clear decision making authority. Mark reported on Additional Initiatives from the Lessons Learned that included: • Target a large provincial emergency planning drill in 2014. • Focus on human performance under extreme conditions. • Integrate accident management procedures and guides to include: o Protection of fuel o Protection of containment o Design basis • Confirm the Shift Manager's decision guide and deployment of resources. • Modify and simplify connections for portable equipment. Mark reported that the summary of the Lessons Learned were: • OPG confirmed their NGSs are safe but they are not being complacent. • OPG responded to the Fukushima nuclear accident with urgency and diligence. • OPG coordinated its follow -up actions with the nuclear industry and the CNSC. • OPG's actions provided, greater defense -in- depth. 7 • OPG improved its capability to prevent fuel failure, protect the containment and improve capability for emergency response. • Lessons learned are still coming out of the review and OPG will implement more changes as needed. Mark Elliott will continue to keep the DNHC updated on the Lessons Learned by OPG from the Fukushima Nuclear Accident. The slides Mark used are attached as Appendix 4. 4.5 Report by the PHAIMO on the Port Granby Project Judy Herod, Manager, Stakeholder Relations .and Communications, and Catherine Jefferson, Senior Environmental Specialist for the PHAIMO, provided a progress report on the Port Granby Project. The highlights of Judy and .Catherine's presentation were: Catherine indicated the PHAIMO has demonstrated its commitment to protecting human health and the environment by: • Implementing comprehensive and adaptive monitoring programs. • Complying with Environmental Assessment Follow -up Programs and CNSC Regulatory requirements. • Sampling and analysis of the biophysical and socio- economic environments. • Conducting environmental monitoring that will enable the PHAIMO to mitigate environmental impacts and implement adaptive managed measures as required. Catherine reported on the progress of the Port Granby Project and included: • Construction of the rail overpass on Elliott Road is progressing well. • The three levels of dust monitoring are being conducted on Elliott Road, Concession Road 1 and Lakeshore Road and mitigating dust problems by spraying the roads and work sites. • Sound level monitoring is being conducted of construction noise levels and mitigation tools include barriers, vegetation, vehicle emission controls and low noise reverse alarms on vehicles. Judy explained that a new community advisory group of 6 members representing a cross section of the community will be formed and called the Citizen Liaison Group (CLG). The CLG will complement the Port Granby Discussion Group and will have their first meeting in early 2013 and will focus on: • Promoting the understanding of the Port Granby Project. • Enhancing community relations. • Verifying that environmental monitoring requirements have been met. Judy Herod or her associates will keep the DNHC updated on the progress of the Port Granby Project. More information on the Project can be obtained by contacting the PHAIMO at 905 885 -0291 or by email at info(a phai.ca. The slides used in their presentation are attached as Appendix 5: 8 5.0 Health Effects 5.1 Report by Cancer Care Ontario (CCO) on Estimating Cancer Risk in Relation to Ambient Tritium Concentration from Routine Operation of the Pickering NGS Susithia Wanigaratne, Epidemiologist at CCO and Dr. Eric Holowaty, Professor of Epidemiology at the University of Toronto, presented the outcome of an epidemiological study to determine whether ambient tritium concentrations from the Pickering NGS during normal operation are related to higher risk of radiation - sensitive cancers in the City Pickering, Ontario. The highlights of their presentation were: • The study was conducted from 2008 to 2012. • The study focused on risks related to tritium and not other kinds of radiation because the majority of radiation emitted from the Pickering NGS is tritium which is typical for CANDU and other Heavy Water Reactors (HWRs). •_ Several other health effects studies have been completed for CANDU and HWRs including Radiation and Health in Durham Region completed in 2007 by the Durham- Region Health Department. ® North Oshawa was selected as a comparison community to the City of Pickering since it was in Durham Region, and not influenced by the potential health effects of tritium dispersion from the Pickering or Darlington NGSs. ® Data sources used by CCO for the study included: o Pickering and North Oshawa property assessment files from 1979 and 1985 to determine non - movers. ` o The Ontario Cancer Registry records, of all cancer cases but skin cancer in Ontario, were used to identify all cancers diagnosed in the City of Pickering and North Oshawa from 1985 to 2005. o The Ontario Mortality Database for Ontario was used to obtain death information for Pickering and North Oshawa residents from 1964 to 2005. o Tritium dispersion concentrations originating from the Pickering NGS were calculated by using Toronto's Pearson International Airport meteorological data and annual tritium emissions as reported by OPG. o Census of Canada information was used for years 1986, 1991, 1996, 2001 and 2006. The accuracy of airborne tritium estimates was excellent at the Pickering NGS property line; however the ideal tritium dose would be to the target organ of individuals. It was acknowledged that the ideal is not feasible • to collect. The retrospective cohort study of non - movers living in the City of Pickering and North Oshawa in 1985 calculated all cancers and specifically breast, leukemia, lung and thyroid for four 5 -year time periods up to 2005. The results of the cohort study showed that cancer risk was not significantly elevated across any of the four 5 -year time periods among the City of Pickering residents and specifically non - movers. In fact, cancer incidence was often significantly lower in the City of Pickering compared to the rest of Ontario. Susitha Wanigaratne and Dr. Eric Holowaty concluded that the CCO study findings were: • There was insufficient evidence that ambient tritium concentrations from the Pickering NGS are related to higher risk of cancer in the City of Pickering. • To increase confidence in these findings it may be useful to incorporate data on additional confounding exposures such as smoking, and the accuracy of individual tritium exposure estimates and measurement. Susitha Wanigaratne indicated that additional information on the CCO study could be obtained by contacting Communications at Cancer Care Ontario at publicaffairs@cancercare. on. ca. 6.0 Communications 6.1 Community Issues at Pickering Nuclear Scott Berry, Manager, Site Public Affairs, provided an update on Community Issues at Pickering Nuclear.

We appreciate your forwarding the email from one of your residents and stating your expectation of higher accountability and transparency from Covanta. ,First and foremost, the issue raised in your letter regarding the fly ash at Metro Vancouver's Waste to Energy facility operated by Covanta is an extremely complicated matter that is under review by the Ministry of the Environment. We strongly disagree with the accusations made in the email attached to your letter and the assumptions made by the Council regarding Covanta's actions relating to fly ash management. Covanta is committed to ensuring our facilities meet all regulatory standards. Human health and environmental safety is our top priority. We are taking this matter very seriously, and we are fully cooperating with a review being undertaken by the Ministry of the Environment. The Burnaby facility has an excellent compliance record with all ash testing results for the past 13 years complying with all applicable standards. Pursuant to regulatory requirements, Covanta conducts two types of tests on the fly ash produced at the Burnaby facility: on -site testing of each truckload of ash prior to shipping and testing of a single monthly composite sample which is performed by a third party independent laboratory. The composite test is a double -check of the on -site testing and used to inform the facility if there is an issue with the system. Laboratory test results from the July and August composite samples were found to be different than the on- site testing and are now under thorough review. You should be aware that since September 2012 to the present, every truck has been sampled and lab tested using the complete regulatory ge-tto ith all test results being consistent with the prior 13 years of full compliance. t ter I Since the discrepancies in test data were discovered, Covanta has undertaken a numbVilEg t4 o$1,Lnd transparent steps to address this issue, in addition to providing our full cooperation in thell9 immayjQf the Environment review. We have: ❑ COUNCIL �'INFORMA p FILE DIRECTION INFORMATION • commissioned further analysis of the monthly composite samples for July and A!u`gt A IR independent laboratories; a MAYOR 0 MEI48ERS ; u! '� CAD • thoroughly reviewed procedures for ash treatment at the Burnaby facility and ,c, 1 that affCOUNCIL systems were and are functioning properly; ., rs1v C-CORPORATP-1:c�;tnla Of SERVICES t ' /I68S 11Mf • introduced additional testing at the Burnaby facility which involves lab testing 1P.-cy , ELizv1j,e y 4 IPAL', rCppail of fly ash before it leaves the facility for disposal, in addition to the on -site 'test n �� alsoC�ER�'s t done for each truck load; and �� 'I''�tNI��'�'��'r�clruRrh� ,<<: .sEgvlcES t�trrEr�u i RRR • undertaken a review of internal reporting procedures and introduced new 4=ed ryas and y �n _® training to ensure reporting timing errors do not occur. I Covanta Burnaby Ash Management and the Durham York Energy Centre 21Page On -site testing of every individual load of fly ash for the months of July and August 2012 showed normal readings, certainly nothing that would indicate a problem with the ash conditioning system. We are confident that none of the ash trucks leaving the facility exhibited a hazardous characteristic and that at this point, it is premature to conclude otherwise. We welcome the Ministry of the Environment's involvement. With regards to the delay in reporting the test results, we deeply regret this human error and have put redundancies and training in place to ensure that it does not happen again. At no time was information related to this issue purposefully withheld. Covanta has always taken great pride in our transparency and we previously issued a letter from our corporate office to each of our clients advising them of the situation at the Burnaby facility. It is our belief that this event has had no negative effect on human health or the environment. The Ministry of the Environment has also stated publicly that there is currently nothing to indicate any risk whatsoever to human health or environmental safety. With regards to the design and operation of the Durham York Energy Centre (DYEQ, Covanta is currently completing the detailed design of the system. A complete ash management plan including an ash test protocol is also being developed for review by the Ministry of the Environment well in advance of processing any waste. Covanta has continuously demonstrated our commitment to the protection of human health and the environment. We are disappointed by the inaccurate portrayal of our company by the small, yet vocal opposition to the DYEC project. The DYEC facility once operational will be the standard bearer for efficient, sustainable, and environmentally beneficial solid waste management; a plant the Region will be proud of owning and Covanta will be proud in operating. Please do not hesitate to contact us directly should you have any questions or concerns.
