Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Powerful controversy: Ontario Hydro wants to build as many as 15 nuclear reactors, like the one above at Darlington. But, two readers from the Nuclear Awarness Project in Oshawa, say Hydro's estimate of $61 billion will actually be more like $200 billion, most of it going to expansion.
