Annual Pee Wee Invita- tional Hockey Tourna- ment The Schreiber Minor Hockey Association in Nuclear and the by DAVID FOSTER Modern technology is forcing us to deal with many questions which mankind has never fac- ed before. Throughout history our environment has provided us with food, shelter and energy. It has also served as a dumping ground for our refuse. Until recently this arrangement has worked well because the environment contains many systems which break down and regen- erate man's garbage. Only recently we have realized that modern technology demands more of our environment that it' can easily pro- vide. Our wastes are overloading nature's cleansing systems, and our world is becoming poisoned as a result. One example is in- dustrial chemical wastes which are only begin- ning to be dealt with properly. These mater- ials include an array of extremely toxic sub- stances, the dangers of which we do not yet fully understand. The chem- ical dump at the Love Canal, in Niagara Falls, New York, stands as a grim reminder that short term, easy solutions to toxic waste disposal of- fer no solution at all. There are two im- portant factors to consi- der when we look at any type of toxic waste dis- posal plan - how long will the waste remain toxic and how can this material best be isolated from our living environ- ment. Some toxic chemical wastes like 2,4-D and other agricultural poi- sons break down over time and become less toxic. In most cases this is not a quick process; it Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, March 9, 1983, page iW -_ Schreiber Recreation News conjunction with Schrei- ber Kinsmen will be hosting their Annual pee hosting their Annual Pee Wee Invitational takes decades to com- plete. Other toxic chemicals like PCBs can be destroyed by high temperature incincera- tion or by combining them with other chemi- cals. Unfortunately most chemical poisons cannot be made harmless, and must be stored virtually forever. On the other hand, nuclear wastes are time- dependent toxins. The question of time is very much at the centre of Canada's efforts to de- velop a safe nuclear waste disposal plan. The extensive scientific re- search being carried out as part of this program is intended to eliminate the possibility of a fu- ture radioactive Love Canal. As nuclear waste materials release ener- gy, through radioactive decay, they change into new substances. Even- tually they become stable and non-radio- active, although this process can take hund- reds of thousands of years for the most long- lived nuclear wastes. Nuclear waste re- search is based on one major goal. The radio- active waste must be removed or "isolated" from our living environ- ment until it no longer poses a_ significant threat to us. This is why time itself is the most important factor. The current nuclear waste management plan calls for many bar- riers which will contain the waste until most of it has become non-radio- active. The waste would first be sealed in special con- tainers which resist cor- rosion. These would then be placed in an Hockey Tournament on Saturday, March 26 and Sunday, March 27, 1983. The 8 team tour- nament will feature ex- underground vault locat- ed deep in solid, stable rock. The vault and all access tunnels would be filled with material that would absorb water and contain any leakage of radioactive material, and then sealed. The purpose of this process is to lock the wastes deep within the ground until most are no longer a hazard. Scientists accept that eventually the waste containers may be brok- en down by water which seeps into the vault. They are working on methods to ensure that the remaining radio- active material can only citing hockey action and an opportunity for the entire family to enjoy themselves at the Rec- reation Complex. waste management questions of time return to our environ- ment after a very long time and in minute amounts. At such dilute levels they would pose a very small risk to people living in the area of the disposal site. The most significant aspect of this research program is that scien- tists are working to understand what might go wrong before they: actually dispose of the waste. Unfortunately, for most other types of waste disposal, we only find out what the prob- lems are long after we have poisoned the en- vironment. a help your Heart Fund Box 460, TERRACE BAY RECREATION COMMITTEE has vacancy for one (1) Recreation Committee Member.
