Hallman hopes the senors will
register 10 or 20 tiny flashes of bluc-
violet light, or neutrinos, cach day
once the observatory is in operation.
The sensors will be hooked up to a
computer that lets the researchers
know when a neutrino has been
measured.

acrylic tank suspended in pure water
in the cavern.

The weapons: 2,000 light sen-
sors, called photomultiplier tubes,
which will record the flash of reaction
each time a neutrino enters the heavy
water.

What are the neutrinos, and why
should scientists study them?

They’re invisible. They have no ap-
parent size, mass or electrical charge.
Visualize an atom. And then scale it
down.

Neutrinos are spit out, largely in-
tact, by the fusion that takes place in
the centre of the sun and other stars.
Scientists believe they travel at the
speed of light, so it takes about cight
minutes for one to reach the Earth
from the sun, says Prof. Doug
Hallman of Laurentian University.

everything else on Earth — and keep
going. Only a few materials can trap
them, the most sensitive being heavy
water, the fluid used to cool nuclear
reactors!

“The neutrino has to get very, very
close to something cise before it in-
teracts with it,"’ says Hallman, a tail,
thin man with a shy smile who created
the Captain Neutrino character to ex-
plain the complicated subject to
school children.

But the antisocial particles behave
like lovers when they meet deuterium,
the extra element that makes ordinary
water heavy.

““When a neutrino is captured by
heavy water molecules, it gives off a
weak cone of light,”” explains
Hallman. ‘Sensors (will) pick it up
and register it as energy."

Pressure is removed from the hot
water, or ‘‘flashed"’ in the industry's
terms, a portion of the water converts
immediately to steam.

Water at 200 C, when flashed,
would become 15-per-cent steam by
weight.

To create electric power, the
steamwater combination goes into a
separator in which the hot water is
sent back down into the earth and the
steam drives a turbine.

Geothermal energy has its
drawbacks, Jessop saia. The steam
makes noise and the process often
releases the rotten-egg smell of
hydrogen sulfide.

As well, the water brought up from
the depths can bring with it a number
of toxic chemicals and ciements in
solution.

Lut scientists say these concerns are
minor and can be minimized with the
proper design. Scrubbers can remove
the smell of hydrogen sulfide and a
“closed system” in which all the
water and chemicals are returned to
their subterranean depths, can deal
with the toxic chemicals, Jessop said.

In the "70s and early "80s, when oil
Prices soared, B.C. Hydro spent an
estimated $20 million on initial ex-
ploration and drillirig at the hot
springs of Meager Creek, north of
Whistler. But the company then wrote
the investment off, selling its rights to
the resource when oil prices fell in the
mid- 1980s.

“In the late "70s we were con-
sidering all sorts of alternative energy
resources — wind, solar, and
geothermal,’’ said John Elliot,
manager of inter-utility marketing at
B.C. Hydro.

: Now, Hydro is making a tentative
return into the field,

“We're saying we're willing to take
part in a pilot project,”” Elliot said.
“It is not completely proven, but
we're saying to the private sector,
demonstrate it to us and if it works,
we'll buy the power from you.""
