WHEREAS the Council of the Corporation of the Town of Pickering has expressed
concerns about safety issues at the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station over the years;
and
WHEREAS the Council has recommended and/or initiated various initiatives such as
establishing the Ontario Hydro/T own of Pickering Liaison Committee, hiring an
independent Consultant to oversee an investigation into alleged dumping of hazardous
liquid waste at the Pickering Nuclear Station, initiating a complaint under the Provincial
Environmental Bill Of Rights, establishing an 87% level of support through a referendum
for an Provincial Environmental Assessment, and
WHEREAS the Town of Pickering, as a host Community, must have a more direct
involvement in fire safety issues that affect the Station in order to ensure the safety of its
residents; and
WHEREAS the Atomic Energy Control Board commissioned the services of Morrison
Hershfield to conduct a technical review of CAN/CSA Standard N293-95 "Fire Protection
For Candu Nuclear Power Plants"; and
WHEREAS Morrison Hershfield on June 12, 1998 submitted Report #2982074.00 to the
Atomic Energy Control Board identifying that "many of the building and fire code key

2.
The current (1995) National Fire Code of Canada (all Parts) should be adopted
and applied to buildings in use; the establishment of emergency plans and
procedures; the conduct of activities causing fire hazards.
3.
In adopting the National Building Code and Fire Codes as the core fire safety
requirements at nuclear facilities, provision should be made to permit the use of
Provincial codes as a compliance alternative.
4.
CAN/CSA Standard N293 "Fire Protection for Candu Nuclear Power Plants"
should be adopted and applied to areas under AECB' s jurisdiction. The
requirements of the Standard would be considered additional and complementary
to the building and fire code requirement.
5.
There is a need to prescribe requirements for a change in the use or renovation of
an existing building in order to ensure a proper level of safety. Strict application of
building code requirements for new construction may be onerous and impractical.
Accordingly, Part 10 Change of Use, and Part 11 Renovation, of the current 1997
Ontario Building Code should be adopted and applied to situations involving a
change in use or renovation of a building.
6.
In order to ensure that a minimum level of safety exists at operating facilities not
under renovation or change in use, retrofit requirements should be developed and
applied. This is particularly important recognizing that many of the building code
requirements may not have been enforced during construction of the plants. Part 9
of the current 1997 Ontario Fire Code should be used as a guide to developing
these requirements.
7.
Third Party, independent reviews should be conducted on the Provincial operating
agencies to check their compliance mechanism and conformance to the codes and
Standard;
NOW THEREFORE the Council of the Corporation of the Town of Pickering hereby
resolves that that the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station (PNGS) be subject to the
following Provincial building construction, retrofit, re-construction and maintenance
regulations:
1.
2.
1997 Ontario Building Code Part 10 and Part 11
1997 Ontario Fire Code Part 9; and
THAT in compliance with the above mentioned regulations, that Ontario Hydro, as the
Owner/Operator for the PNGS apply for all required Municipal approvals; and
THAT the Council of the Corporation of the Town of Pickering further requests that Part
1,2,3,8 and 9 of the 1995 National Building Code of Canada be adopted and applied to all
areas under AECB jurisdiction and be strictly enforced for compliance in consultation with
the Pickering Chief Building Official as set out in Recommendation 3; and
THAT the Council of the Corporation of the Town of Pickering further requests that the
current (1995) National Fire Code be adopted and applied as set out in Recommendation
2 and be strictly enforced for compliance in consultation with the Pickering Chief Building
Official and Designated Municipal Fire Services Official as set out in Recommendation 3;
