CBC Radio Areva report erroneous
TORONTO, ONTARIO - A CBC Radio report that refered to Areva in a “leaked” letter was incorrect.
A statement issued by Areva states: “On April 3, 2008, CBC Radio and cbc.ca carried an erroneous and misleading story which reported: ‘The French nuclear safety watchdog has cited Areva for a number of serious infractions...’
“The facts of the matter are that in the ‘leaked’ letter to which the reporter refers, Areva was not cited by the regulator in any way, shape or form. In fact, the letter makes no mention of Areva.”
Areva adds that “We are gratified that no other media - to our knowledge - has made this mistake.”

Ontario hydro rates set to increase Nov. 1, Ontario Energy Board says
TORONTO - The Ontario Energy Board says hydro rates for households and small businesses will be going up starting next week.
The agency says rates are scheduled to increased by about $1.99 or 1.8 per cent for a typical residential customer who uses 700 kilowatt hours per month.
The provincial government said in March it would continue to subsidize hydro rates and hold any increases to the rate of inflation.
The OEB says the new rates, which the board says are “in line” with inflation, will take effect Nov. 1 and could be noticed on bills within a few weeks of that date.
