UNITED ‘NATIONS (CP)
— Canada says it’ would
accept, under certain con-
ditions, the use of nuclear-
powered satellites in low
orbits, despite memories of
being showered with radio-
active debris when Cosmos
954 disintegrated over the
Northwest Territories four
years a :

That word came this week
in excerpts from a Canadian
delegate’s speech to the UN
outer space legal subcom-
mittee in Geneva.

Lorne Clark said the risks
created by nuclear reactors
in low orbit can't be reduced
sufficiently to make them
acceptable,

But he added, having taken
that position in principle,
Canada realizes some coun-
tries, claiming overriding
national security consider-
ations, want to use nuclear
power sources in low-orbit
satellites.

Clark said Canada is pre-
pared to accept the use of
nuclear-powered satellites
for national security under
certain conditions.

Neither the conditions nor
what’ Canada regards as
national security considera-
tions were outlined in the
