ITER bids (continued from page 1) the next major step in the development of fusion energy as a safe, clean and sustainable sustainable energy source. Today's nuclear reactors produce energy energy by splitting atoms. Of the four participants currently involved in the ITER project -- Canada, the Russian Federation, Japan, and the European Union, Canada is the only country to have submitted a formal bid to host the facility. Spain and Japan are preparing bids. However, Crome stated that Japan acknowledges that Canada has the"best technical site. The Canadian site is located on property just east of the Darlington Nuclear Power Generating Plant in Courtice. i . At the reception hosted at the home of the Canadian Ambassador to the Russian Federation, Mayor Mutton stated that "Clarington was anxious to host ITER." According to Crome's report, the Mayor noted at that reception reception that Clarington could accommodate all the infrastructure infrastructure and housing needs. As a home to other nuclear industiy facilities, the public has no major concerns with hosting the ITER site in Clarington. The Municipality is familiar with the situations and problems that might arise, and can deal with them effec tively said the Mayor. *" ' The competition to host ITER will he strong, says Crome. Governments and not the scientists of the world will ultimately make the decision as to where the research facility facility will be located. "Canada will have to be adept and skillful on the political front to win the opportunity to host this project," states Cromç in his report. Dr. Velikof of Russia told delegates that the weakness of the Canadian bid was the lack of direct financial support from the Canadian government. government. To date, the Federal government has,invested-$3> million in the ITER bid. « "Other countries are putting a fair bit of public money ?into this project," stated Cronie, however Mayor Mutton is 1 meeting with Federal Minister of Natural Resources Herb Dhaliwal this Friday and will bring this matter to his attention. attention. Other countries have deputy ministers attending these ITER negotiating meetings meetings says Crome, "Our delegation delegation is at a lower status." Also where other countries are already involved in fusion research, Canada is not. Crome explained that there must be consensus on the selection of the host country. It's not like an Olympic bid where there are winners and losers, says Crome. Since all the participating countries will continue to contribute to the success of the project, they must be unanimous in their decision of where the facility is to be located, he explained. Final selection of which country will host the facility is supposed to be made this fall. Festival (continued from page 1) the weekend passes, and will be charging $15 a day for Friday and Saturday. Tickets for Saturday night only will be $10. As the Festival is now only five weeks away, organizers are once again turning to the community for volunteer help. "It's the involvement and support from the local community that has made this festival so successful," says Festival Committee Chair David Climenhage. "Without the large number of volunteers volunteers who sign up to help for the weekend, there simply wouldn't be a Great Canadian Town Band Festival in Orono," he added. Anyone wishing to dedicate a few hours of their time to the Festival on June 14, 15 and 16, are asked to call 905-983- 5518 and leave a message, or leave their name on a list at ' the Orono Times Office.
