Company will have rigid inspection standards According to Mayor Ann Mulvale, the Oakville location will be nothing more than a weigh staâ€" tion controlled by rigid inspection standards and safety systems. Waste will be packaged at the source and will not be touched in any way while in Oakville. The real quesâ€" tion, she maintains, is whether the public understands all the facts. After all, said Mulvale, most people have benefited in some way from the kind of medical treatments (CAT scans, xâ€"rays) which produce the waste Canatom will be hanâ€" dling.

For example, local environmentalist Steven Moore â€" who along with Hardacre met with Unsworth last week â€" said between now and the January meeting he wants answers about the level of the material‘s toxâ€" icity. "Everyone I‘ve talked to is very upset," he said. "Mention the storâ€" age of radioactive waste and people become very interested. It‘s not another computer store moving to Oakville." Moore said he also is concerned about the lack of public process so far and about who knew what, and when. "Even if (the material) is comâ€" pletely benign, the public should have been contacted," he said. Referring to an Oct. 26 letter written to Unsworth by Mulvale, Moore maintains Town Hall should have alerted the public months before word leaked out this month. "I‘m concerned that it was kept a secret," he said. "I think the public should have known earlier, except that some topics aren‘t appropriate during an election campaign." As a newlyâ€"elected councillor, Hardacre did not know of Canatom‘s plan until this month. Still, she defends the Town‘s curâ€" Waste will be packed in sealed drums years as more reactors reach obsolescence. the interim, the company will provide advice and disposal services to clients such as hospitals and research centres who use radioactive materiâ€" als. This is where Oakville comes in. The waste â€" everything from contaminated gloves, syringes and lab coats to the byâ€"products of CAT scans and xâ€"rays â€" will be packed into 45 gallon drums which will be sealed and checked for contamination prior: to shipment. Liquid solutions will be solidified in a special absorbent material then packed. Under the licence now being applied for, Canatom cannot open the drums nor repack them in any way. s vThé drums will then be stored onâ€"site in Oakville for four to six weeks, or until enough is on hand to make it economically viable to remove them for permanent disposal, usually at AECL‘s Chalk River facility. As a result, truck traffic is expected to be light, usually one vehicle per day bearing five to 10 drums. * â€"Canatom is also seeking a permit to dispose of liquid scintillation vials containing xylene and toluene, which it would store then forward for incinâ€" eration. Accordmg to Unsworth, the Oakville location is ideal since it is central to the market his company hopes to service and would allow its consultmg and training staff easier access to clients. . Canatom currently shares downtown Toronto office space with its parent company. The new office will house Canatom‘s present staff of four with room for future expansion to six or eight people.
