FROM a2 POWER TO NUCLEAR POWER IN 10) YEARS In 1867, people used candle power, In 1967, a nuclear power plant in Pickering Township will be well on its way to supplying the area with electricity. The On- tario Hydro project will be capable of supplying 700,000 homes and has an output of 1,080,000 kilowatts at any given time. Pictured: above is the roof of one of two reactor buildings to be con- structed. One will house the reactor plant and the other the turbine and generator. One hundred and fifty-five feet from the ground is the truss work (pictured above) which will be covered with cement sometime in 1968. Two types of concrete are being used: a hard, more dense concrete which will house the reactors and reg- ular concrete on the out- side walls, four feet thick and reinforced with thick steel. The proposed opening date of the nuclear plant is in late 1970 or early 1971.

Investigative talks before the Ontario Labor Relations Board ~|started yesterday. Iron riggers lleft their jobs about midday Friday when a project foreman involved in a safety dispute ap- peared on the site. That walkout came about 24 hours after riggers ended a strike that started Dec. 9 by re- turning to work pending more management-union talks aimed at settling a dispute based on the use of safety belts and the suspension of a union steward. John Winkler, the steward, is said to have been suspended without notice. after arguing with foreman William Sweeney and refusing to allow riggers to work more than 100 feet above ground in wet weather without safety belts. Details of yesterday's hear- ing are not available. The approximate. 650 other employees stayed off the job a week ago today when they re- up by iron riggers, members of Local 721;International Asso- ciation of Bridge, Structural and Ornamental Iron Workers.

The committee has been sit- ting for two years and the trip to British Columbia and Cali- fornia is the culmination of its investigations.
