WHEREAS on August 24, 1988, The Honourable Gerald S. Merrithew,
Minister of State for Forestry and Mines established a Siting
Task Force with an eighteen month mandate to implement a process
which would lead to the establishment of a long-term low-level
radioactive waste management facility for Ontario;
WHEREAS on September l, 1988, Eldorado submitted a report
entitled "Port Granby Decommissioning: Conceptual Designs
for Interim Stabilization" to the AECB in response the AECB's
directive, in it arguing that there was no immediate need for
implementation of stabilization measures and that stabilization
should be undertaken only as required by site circumstances or
if it appears that long-term stabilization of the site would be
necessary in place of decommissioning;
WHEREAS Eldorado's report of September 1, 1988 was supported by
a Golder Associates Report estimating that at least ten years
would be required at the most active section (B5) for erosion to
reach the fence line of the burial area;
WHEREAS Cameco proposed that it would be prudent to test key
elements of the conceptual stabilization plan in advance of any
need for actual implementation by conducting a demonstration
program at section B5 of the Port Granby bluffs over the
up-coming construction season;
WHEREAS Cameco has refused to provide the Tbwn with cost
estimates of this demonstration program;
WHEREAS the AECB's Director General Directorate of Fuel Cycle
and Materials regulation has recommended a decision to the AECB
for consideration at its meeting on April 6, 1989 that Cameco's
licence be renewed for a period of fourteen months, expiring a
short time after the Siting Task Force's report is due to be
submitted to the Minister and has recommended that the licence
be issued on the condition, amongst others, that the facility
is to be operated according to the methods and procedures and
for the purpose described in a document entitled "Facility
Licensing Manual - Port Granby Waste Management Facility -
March, 1989";
WHEREAS no mention is made in the Facility Licensing Manual of
the demonstration program proposed to be undertaken in respect
of section B5;
WHEREAS since Council's first priority is to secure the early
decommissioning of the Port Granby Facility, Council is
concerned that a substantial financial commitment in a
demonstration program may be represented in the future by Cameco
or others, to be a reason why the Port Granby Facility should
not be decommissioned.
