Press conference held by a group of southwestern Ontario politicians: Howard McCurdy, New Democratic Party MP; Herb Gray, Liberal MP; Steven Langdon, NDP MP, and Jim Caldwell, Progressive Conservatic MP, to push for limited working capacity at the Monroe nuclear power station because of fears that a breakdown would bring harm to Canadians living near the US border. In an opening statement, the following topics are discussed: a petition sent to the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission; measures taken to press the Canadian government into blocking the full scale operation of the plant; dangers present in the plant; criticism of the Canadian and the US governments; the role of the International Joint Commission in mediating difficulties between Canada and the United States regarding nuclear energy plants. A question period follows.
