4.3 Report by OPG on the Fukushima Response
Mark Elliott, Senior Vice President and Chief Nuclear Engineer for OPG, provided
a very interesting explanation of the earthquake, tsunami and resulting lessons
learned from the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant event and follow -up in Japan in
March 2011. The highlights of Mark's presentation were:
R
Mark provided a summary of events that impacted the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear
Power Plant. The nuclear plant withstood the 9.0 magnitude earthquake but the
resulting tsunami, with 7 waves of approximately 14 metres, overwhelmed the 6
metres high safety provisions for tsunamis, washed out fuel tanks, interrupted back-
up emergency power and far exceeded expectations of their most severe emergency
plans. The result was the second worst nuclear power plant event, Chernobyl being
the worst in April 1986, and Japan is still recovering.
Mark indicated there were many lessons OPG learned from the Fukushima event
and the actions taken include:
• OPG responded quickly to the Fukushima event by reviewing its own nuclear
facilities and the Key Findings were:
Q Defend against fuel damage, maintain containment with on -site power
to keep the nuclear fuel cool
o Focus on Severe Accident Prevention in addition to Severe Accident
Mitigation including Emergency Response
o Anticipate and plan for a worse than expected event
o Confirm clear decision making authority in an emergency
• CNSC responded quickly to the Fukushima event and follow -up by issuing
the Fukushima Task Force Report that concluded:
o The Fukushima event cannot happen to existing nuclear power plants
in Canada and they are considered safe
o The risk posed to the health and safety of Canadians or to the
environment is very small
o Review of the Fukushima event and follow -up with subsequent
actions will further advance the safety of nuclear power plants in
Canada
Mark reported OPG identified several opportunities to provide even greater
measures of defense to external threats including conditions that exceed the design
basis of the NGSs. The opportunities included:
• To control flooding, dykes were installed around emergency power
generators and standby generators at Pickering and Darlington NGSs.
.• To maintain cooling of the spent fuel pools, emergency mitigation equipment
including diesel driven pumps for an alternate water supply have been
purchased.
• To plan for a Severe Accident, Mitigation Guidelines and Procedures were
developed and include a Containment Filtered Venting System to be part of
the planned refurbishment of Darlington.
• To improve Hydrogen Mitigation Measures, Passive Autocatalytic
Recombiners will be installed during regularly scheduled maintenance
outages and will be completed by 2014.
• To improve Emergency Response, `several changes have been made that
include:
o Public alerting sirens are solar powered and with battery back -up
6
o New Near Boundary Gamma Monitors were installed around the
perimeter of Pickering and Darlington NGSs
o Communications were improved with the CNSC, three levels of
government and the media using four independent telecommunication
systems
o Containment Venting if needed was confirmed to be the Shift
Manager's responsibility
o Partnering across the Canadian - Nuclear Industry to share staff,
facilities and equipment has been formalized with Mutual Aid
Agreements among participating utilities
Mark summarized the lessons learned from the Fukushima event were:
• CNSC and OPG believe Pickering and Darlington NGSs are operating safely.
• Safety is OPG's fundamental corporate value that will not be compromised.
• An additional layer of defence and safety has been provided.
• Reviews by the CNSC and the nuclear industry confirm that Canada is
developing the flexibility and capability to respond to events not previously
imagined and planned for.
Mark Elliott or his associates will keep the DNHC updated on safety changes made
at Pickering and Darlington NGSs that provide additional community protection in
case of a NGS accident. The slides Mark used are attached as Appendix 2.
4.4 Progress Report from the Port'Hope Area Initiative Management Office on the Port
Granby Project
Judy Herod and Laura Boksman, Stakeholder Relations Officers for the Port Hope
Area Initiative Management Office (PHAIMO), provided an update on the Port
Granby Long -Term Low -Level Radioactive Waste Management Facility. The
highlights of Judy and Laura's presentation were:
Judy reported on several significant milestones recently achieved that included:
• November 2011, the CNSC granted a 10 -year Nuclear Waste Substance
Licence to AECL.
• January 2012, the Government of Canada approved $1.28 billion to the PHAI
including $273 million for the Port Granby Project to move waste away from
Lake Ontario to a new engineered aboveground mound to be built north of
the current site.
• March 2012, the Port Granby Project assumed responsibility for the existing
waste management facility and acquired 275 hectares of property from
Cameco of which 95 hectares were needed for the new waste management
facility.
Laura explained that a very extensive dust management plan had been developed to
effectively manage and monitor dust during the construction project. Some of the
plans to prevent and control dust are:
® Work will not begin if the wind exceeds 36km/hour.
7
• Dust prevention measures will include using dust suppression equipment,
materials and wind fencing.
• Monitoring of dust will be conducted by the prime contractor's environmental
staff, independent dust monitoring contractor and by the PHAI environmental
staff.
• Control measures such as misting dry roads, tarping, monitoring and cleaning
trucks will be used.
• Early warning levels of dust control monitoring will trigger corrective action.
• Corrective actions will include:
o Examine monitoring records to identify the likely cause(s)
o Review the situation with all responsible parties
o Develop plans to prevent recurrence
• Dust monitoring locations will be positioned in the work -site and on the
perimeter fence of the work -site.
Judy explained that the PHAIMO is very committed to communicating with
stakeholders and homeowners and will continue to use the Port Granby Discussion
Group as a major means of two -way communication.
The Next Steps of the project will include:
• 2012, improvements will be made to Elliott Road.
• 2013, construction will begin on the new water treatment plant.
• 2014, waste removal and placement in the aboveground mound will begin
and will take about 6 years to complete.
Judy Herod or her associates will continue to update the DNHC on the progress of
the Port Granby Project. Judy can be contacted at herodj@a,aecl.ca or by telephone
at (905) 885 -8830 for more information on the Project and the slides used in the'
presentation are attached as Appendix 3,

o Radiological emergencies that are accidental releases such as a
transportation accident or intentional releases in a war or terrorist
incident
o Nuclear. emergencies from a fixed site such as a nuclear power plant
or intentional release from a terrorist incident
• The consequence from a radiological or nuclear emergency would be severe
to catastrophic although the probability is low to moderate due to safe guards
in place.
• The Provincial Nuclear Emergency Response Plan (PNERP) was developed
to deal with nuclear emergencies under the Emergency Management and
Civil Protection 'Act, 1990 and the MOHLTC is required to develop and
maintain a plan to manage patients exposed to high levels of radiation.
• Ontario's RHRP will fulfill the requirements for the MOHLTC as stated in
the PNERP.
Adam explained that in a major radiological or nuclear emergency triggers an
immediate provincial emergency declaration and the MOHLTC will implement its
RHRP. The roles and responsibilities of the RHRP plan include:
• The coordination of health organizations to deal with potentially exposed
and/or contaminated persons.
• Provide advice to local authorities regarding the need to implement protective
measures by the public to protect public health.
• Decision making regarding the distribution of potassium iodide pills
involving the Chief Medical Officer of Health, local Medical Officers of
Health and other experts.
• Oversee the required arrangements for the follow -up medical monitoring,
care and rehabilitation for those with significant radiation exposure.
• The Scope of the RHRP includes:
o Response activities to support the coordination of health organizations
to deal with potentially exposed and/or contaminated persons
o Includes events that occur inside the province as well as those in
outside Ontario that may impact public health in Ontario
o Plans may need to be developed at the local level to support the plan

Heritage Week Event — A subcommittee of Angela, Allan, Tracey, Tenzin and Karin was
formed at the last meeting and has met and drafted a letter of invitation to other groups
to participate with the CHC. The letter was mailed Friday; Angela reported that she had
her first response and there is interest in being involved. A sub - committee to work on
the events of the week will be struck at the next CHC meeting.

Ron will follow -up with Veridian about whether banner location could be used by the
CHC. Faye will follow -up on estimates for a banner.
Barns — Andrew has concern that barns are being lost and there is a great cultural
heritage of barns in Clarington. The committee is hoping that barns if no longer in use
for agricultural operations can be repurposed by the owners for other uses so that they
remain as part of the landscape. Karin .and David took photos of a number of barns in
their travels. There was a.suggestion that there could be a presence on the website of

Subject: COUNCIL AGENDA— MAY 14, 2012
Please be advised of the following regarding the May 14th Council meeting:
DELEGATIONS
There are no delegations scheduled for this meeting.
CORRESPONDENCE
D - 4 Gord Lee, on behalf of the Foster Creek South Neighbourhood Residents,
indicating that the residents in the Foster Creek South subdivision, particularly
those who signed their petition, are still unanimously in favour of locating the
Newcastle Fire Hall on the Highway 2 location; advising that the $600,000 plus
costs are questionable, but acceptable considering the safety issues and
questioning whether the costs could be amortized over the lifespan of the
project; noting the Highway #2 location is currently being used for parking
construction staging equipment, a sleeping area for tractor trailer drivers, a used
car lot for individuals attempting to sell vehicles privately and does nothing to
enhance the entrance to the Village of Newcastle; and, reiterating that the Fire
Hall will be on the location for 30 plus years and there is only one chance to get
it right.
(Motion to advise of actions taken with respect to
the Business Arising From Procedural Notices of
Motion)
D - 5 Tom and Angela Herd and family advising that they are in support of relocating
the Newcastle Fire Hall to the Highway 2 location as Rudell Road is very busy
and the addition of a fire hall will create mass confusion and traffic on both
Rudell Road and other subdivision roads; expressing concern that the
intersection of Rudell and Highway 2 is very busy and is not large enough for
trucks turning out onto Highway 2 at the same time as traffic entering and exiting

the subdivision; suggesting that the additional costs can be absorbed over many
years and if more thought had been put into the location of the fire Fall in the first
place the extra costs would be minimal; and, encouraging Members of Council to
overturn the fire hall's present location and vote to move it to the Highway 2
location.
(Motion to advise of actions taken with respect to
the Business Arising From Procedural Notices of
Motion)
D - 6 Naz Mohammed advising he is strongly opposed to the proposed site for the
new Fire Station on Rudell Road due to the safety concerns with fire trucks and
firefighters using Rudell Road as an entry and exit point; indicating that he has
witnessed growth in the area over the past 16 years and thinks that better
planning should be done to accommodate the area residents; and respectfully
requesting Council's support in relocating the Fire Station to the Highway 2
location.
(Motion to advise of actions taken with respect to
the Business Arising From Procedural Notices of
Motion)
D - 7 Carol Smollett, writing further to her correspondence of April 12, 2012, and the
General Purpose and Administration Committee decision of May 7En
recommending an exemption to the exotic pet by-law to allow Paige, Avery and
Jason Brunelle to keep their ferrets until the current exotic pet by-law is reviewed
by Council; questioning how many exemptions Council is prepared to make as
their pot-bellied pig was previously granted a temporary stay; expressing
concern that she will not be able to enjoy her property this summer due to the
pot-bellied pig being in the backyard; and, hoping that Council will make sound
decisions with respect to the Exotic Pet By-law re-write and consider the entire
municipality, not just one individual family.
(Motion to advise of actions taken with respect to
Item #2 of Report#1 and to refer correspondence
to staff for consideration in conjunction with the
review of the Exotic Pet By-law)
D - 8 Kimberley Blanchard advising she has recently moved to Clarington and due to
unfortunate circumstances has had to bring her daughter's puppy to live with her
in addition to her own three dogs; advising she has been working with her
neighbours to ensure that her dogs are not bothersome and that her neighbours
have willingly worked with her to assist the dogs in their transition to their new
home; and, requesting an exemption to the by-law to allow her to keep four
dogs.
