DOWN PICKERING - make your submission by Tuesday April 22<br class="" style=""> </font> </div> <div class="" style=""><br class="" style=""><div id="yiv7518323676" class="" style=""><div dir="ltr" class="" style=""><div class="" style=""><div dir="ltr" class="" style="">Good afternoon:<div class="" style=""><br class="" style=""></div><div class="" style="">My name is Mike O'Morrow and I am the Nuclear Campaign Assistant at Greenpeace Canada.</div><div class="" style=""><br class="" style=""></div><div class="" style="">I am contacting you because, in the past, you've shown the courage to call for the shut-down of nuclear plants in Ontario. </div>
<div class="" style=""><br class="" style=""></div><div class="" style=""><b class="" style=""><i class="" style="">We are asking you to send a written submission to the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) and Ontario's energy minister by 11:59 PM on Tuesday, April 22 calling for the closure of the Pickering nuclear station.</i></b></div>
<div class="" style=""><b class="" style=""><i class="" style=""><br class="" style=""></i></b></div><div class="" style="">Last year, hundreds of people like you told the CNSC they shouldn't allow Ontario Power Generation (OPG) to run Pickering beyond its design life. Thanks to public pressure and NGOs like the Canadian Environmental Law Association and Greenpeace highlighting gaps in OPG's case, the CNSC told OPG to return this year with a full safety case. </div>
<div class="" style=""><br class="" style=""></div><div class="" style="">This was an important victory for our campaign, and I thank you for your help on that. </div><div class="" style=""><br class="" style=""></div><div class="" style="">However, the safety case OPG submitted to the CNSC has not been made public, nor has it been reviewed by an independent third party. Both OPG and the CNSC lacks transparency, and it's important we work to expose them again this year. </div>
<div class="" style=""><br class="" style=""></div><div class="" style=""><b class="" style=""><i class="" style="">Here's how you can help: please send a a letter to the CNSC by April 22 and tell them to deny OPG's request to run Pickering beyond its design life.</i></b></div><div class="" style=""><b class="" style=""><i class="" style=""><br class="" style=""></i></b></div>
<div class="" style="">Once completed, submissions can be emailed to <a rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:interventions@cnsc-ccsn.gc.ca" target="_blank" href="mailto:interventions@cnsc-ccsn.gc.ca" class="" style="">interventions@cnsc-ccsn.gc.ca</a>. </div><div class="" style=""><br class="" style=""></div><div class="" style="">Here are two resources for you to use towards completing your submission:</div>
<div class="" style=""><br class="" style=""></div><div class="" style="">> A <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://docs.google.com/a/greenpeace.org/file/d/0B_g-5aszkwv_cTQ1OFl2X1A1Qjg/edit" class="" style="">letter template</a> (please revise the letter into your own words and add your own analysis and/or concerns)</div>
<div class="" style=""><br class="" style=""></div><div class="" style="">> A <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://docs.google.com/a/greenpeace.org/file/d/0B_g-5aszkwv_cHdJU3F0VXpueDA/edit" class="" style="">Q&A backgrounder</a> with important information about why Pickering is dangerous and unnecessary, as well as useful resources for you to use. </div>
<div class="" style=""><br class="" style=""></div><div class="" style="">Finally, because we feel that the CNSC and OPG are being disingenuous, we're asking that you email your letter to Ontario Minister of Energy Bob Chiarelli and ask him to step in and close Pickering. </div>
<div class="" style=""><br class="" style=""></div><div class="" style=""><b class="" style=""><i class="" style="">Before I let you go, there are two other projects I'd like to tell you about.</i></b></div><div class="" style=""><br class="" style=""></div><div class="" style="">First, the Ontario government has committed to reviewing the province's nuclear emergency plans. We expect a public consultation to occur in the late summer or early fall. </div>
<div class="" style=""><br class="" style=""></div><div class="" style="">We need to <i style="font-weight:bold;" class="">raise awareness </i>with citizens, municipal politicians, and civil society groups on why Ontarians - and specifically residents of the GTA - aren't protected in the event of an accident. </div>
<div class="" style=""><br class="" style=""></div><div class="" style="">Specifically, we need city councillors in the GTA to demand better emergency plans and possibly pass resolutions at council. </div><div class="" style=""><br class="" style=""></div><div class="" style=""><i class="" style=""><b class="" style="">We're looking for our supporters to meet with their local councillor on this issue.</b></i> Our politicians need to feel public pressure for better emergency planning. </div>
<div class="" style=""><br class="" style=""></div><div class="" style="">Second, at a public hearing in November, OPG will ask the CNSC for final approval to refurbish the reactors at Darlington, and for a 14-year licence to operate the station. This licence request is unprecedented in Canada. We need more - not less - scrutiny of Darlington. </div>
<div class="" style=""><br class="" style=""></div><div class="" style="">The deadline for making written submissions will be in early October. </div><div class="" style=""><br class="" style=""></div><div class="" style="">If you are interested in participating in either of the above opportunities (meeting with your city councillor or participating in the Darlington refurbishment and licencing hearings), click <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://docs.google.com/a/greenpeace.org/forms/d/1_q5Wv28QoBoPN3S1YJqbkyrlLD6vRFQ70LbMAXjiXy8/viewform" class="" style="">HERE</a> and fill out the form. We will contact you in the future with more information.</div>
