Some people ask why men go hunting. They must be the kind of people who seldom get far from highways. What do they know of the tryst a hunting man keeps with the wind and the trees and the sky?

Northland native Gordon MacQuarrie's outdoor writing gains new...  Bemidji Pioneer

[kayla1993-world]

Chris Muir can see the roofline of a storage building that houses radioactive powder from his backyard in the west end.

The building is part of a nondescript plant on Lansdowne, north of Dupont, where more than half the uranium pellets that fuel the nuclear reactors are made each year by BWXT Canada.

Muir said he knew the plant was there when he bought his house in 2015, but he is now one of a chorus of community members who are asking the CNSC to deny the application to renew it's licence for 10 years.

He made up his mind at a public meeting CNSC staff held near the end of January in the Davenport riding.

The Toronto plant has never had an accident.  However, the application to renew the licence, which includes public hearings, is one of the first opportunities many residents will have to ask questions after finding out in 2012 that a Star story that the plant - owned by GE-Hitachi until December of 2016 - was making pellets.

The story was the result of activist Zach Ruiter, a freelance journalist and Trent graduate, who knocked on doors to alert residents that the plant existed.

At that time, signs on buildings at the Toronto plant simply said the name - there was no indication that it was a nuclear facility.

The CNSC required GE-Hitachi to have an outreach program, but most members didn't know what the plant manufactured despite its presence in the neighborhood since 1965.

Now, 250 individuals and organizations have registered to intervene either as speakers or in writing during hearings in March, when the commission will hold two-day sessions in Toronto as well as Peterborough, where BWXT owns another plant.

The licence renewal, which CNSC staff have recommended be approved, is for both.

Despite the assurance, Muir said he didn't feel confident after leaving the public meeting.

There were a number of unanswered questions, he said, including what happens if the tank full of flammable hydrogen - the pellets are baked in a furnace filled with hydrogen - catches fire?

The company says it has an internal plan for both sites, with guidelines for emergency staff and plant personnel, which is sent to the CNSC.

And that “each facility has established emergency programs to minimize the risk of fires and other events, as well as robust plans that prescribe the actions to be taken to prevent or minimize potential hazards,” wrote Natalie Cutler, BWXT’s director of communications and government relations, in an email.

Muir also wondered why, with such an increase in public interest, so few residents knew about the CNSC meeting, where commission staff and experts, together with BWXT employees, anti-nuclear activists and politicians seemed to outnumber the 15 or so people from the community.

Kevin Lee, a senior officer, which employs 900 staff, said the commission couldn't afford to notify the public by advertising in newspapers because it was too expensive.

The application is not only generating opposition in Toronto, but in Peterborough because of a provision in the new licence that would allow them to move it's Toronto operation anytime during it's 10-year period to Peterborough.

Activists there say they are tired of dealing with the legacy waste from the GE-Hitachi plant, which used PCBs, asbestos as well as other chemicals at the Peterborough location, although in manufacturing operations that were unrelated to the nuclear division bought by them.

At its height in the 60s, the GE plant employed 6000 people.  Scott co-founded CARN in April after hearing that they might move the pelleting operation.

Scott was referring to an incident where two workers wore the wrong filters 15 times over a two-year period, until 2017, exposing them to airborne beryllium, a toxic metal used to join parts of fuel bundles together.

Julie Dzerowicz, MP for Davenport, said she has consulted a number of people about the pelleting plant on Lansdowne and has not heard any information that makes her think it's a danger.

Canadians typically receive a 1.8 millisievert dose a year of background radiation, which is found naturally in the air and soil.

They said the annual dose from the Toronto plant was 0.0 millisieverts and that epidemiological studies show there are no adverse effects for any dose below 100 millisieverts

Julie said if anyone presents her with evidence that shows she should be concerned for the health and safety of Davenport residents, she “will take urgent action.”

However, Julie was adamant residents in her riding be allowed to ask their own questions and requested the commission hold hearings in her riding, as opposed to the original location - a hotel near Yorkdale where they planned to simulcast proceedings from a physical location.

They complied and the Toronto hearings in March will be held on Dupont, where Julie plans to speak as an intervener.

Those concerns include more transparency regarding test results of air samples and more audits of the plant by the committee.

They do in-stack monitoring every day and according to the website, the sample results are verified by an independent lab.

Soil sampling is done less often because there has been little change in the concentration of uranium over time, said president John MacQuarrie.

Wastewater used in the plant to clean floors and equipment is held in storage tanks and treated to remove as much uranium dioxide as possible before it is released into the sewage system.

According to company reports, from 2014 to 2018 they emitted 46.2 g of uranium dioxide into the air and 3.6 kg into the wastewater, levels that are far below the allowable emissions of 760 g and water emissions of 9,000 kg per year.

Among the experts Julie consulted was Gordon Edwards, president of the Canadian Coalition, who is contributing to a submission by Canadian Environmental Law, which is intervening at the hearing on behalf of CARN.

Gordon is a former professor of math and science at Vanier and has done consulting in the past on nuclear issues for government and industry.

He said studies about the effects of exposure to uranium dioxide have been largely inconclusive, mainly because there are few populations that have been exposed to breathing in the powder.

But he said the plant in Toronto is giving off a small amount of radioactive powder into the air that if inhaled could go deep into lung tissue and radiate a cell so that over time it could develop into cancer.

They say emissions from the facility are about 1% of the regulatory limit and do not cause any impacts to the public or the environment.

A group of scientists who live near the fuel-bundling plant are also worried about beryllium.

In a letter to the Examiner newspaper, they expressed concern that recent testing showed concentrations of beryllium in local samples had increased since 2014.

Answers to whether that will happen, as well as other questions, may have to wait until commission hearings in March.

A spokesperson said in an email that questions about where the escaping UrO goes and what the health effects are will have to wait until then.

F.O.O.D.

“Long live the bleak bitterness of such a morning, of the churlish dawn … The duck hunter, probing the secrets of a new day, sees the night retreat, as nothing is so fine as daylight coming and night departing while wings overhead whisper the old and unresolved mystery of migration.” ~Gordon MacQuarrie, The Last Stories of the Old Duck Hunters, http://dlvr.it/N2nqXT

[jackpinebarrens]

November 11, 1940-“The winds of hell were loose on the Mississippi Armistice Day and Night,” “they came from the south and west, a mighty freezing force. They charged down the high river bluffs to the placid stream below and reached with deadly fingers for the life that beat beneath the canvas jackets of hundreds of duck hunters”……”Mother Nature caught hundreds of duck hunters on the Armistice Day Holiday. She lured them out to the marsh with fine, whooping wind, and when she got them there she froze them like muskrats in traps. She promised ducks in the wind. They came all right, but by that time the duck hunters were playing a bigger game with the wind, and their lives were at stake.” “The wind did it, the furious wind that pierced any clothing, that locked outboard engines in sheaths of ice, that froze on faces and hands and clothing, so that survivors crackled when they got to safety and said their prayers”…..excerpted from “Icy Death Rides Gale on Duck Hunt Trail” - Milwaukee Journal November 13, 1940. As reported by Gordon MacQuarrie

[jackpinebarrens]

“The beginning is often a poor place to start the story of a duck hunt. The true devotee of the wind-swept autumn waters hunts many other things than ducks. He hunts the curling waves and the tossing tips of suppliant trees. He hunts the poignant loneliness of a tender, departing season and the boisterous advent of one more rigorous. All these hunts and, old or young, he finds them as they were before-primordial, healing, and soothing to mankind in his whirling world of complexities”- Gordon MacQuarrie

[jackpinebarrens]

“The man kneeling in Autumn leaves dressing his first partridge should know that he is of the elect, that he has entered that Valhalla of sport where the best is hard to get, and the getting the best part of it”- Gordon MacQuarrie
