c f I J T rojan, in-lieu sites visited by T ri bal Council JUNE 7, 1985 Members of the Tribal Council toured the Trojan Nuclear Plant ât St. R Jen s, en May 23. Tro jan is located 42 miles north and west of Portland just off high way 30, which leads westward eventually to Astoria, on the Oregon Coast. ' The tour was primarily an educational tour to See how Trojan works., Like all nuclear power plants, Trojan differs from a fossil steam electric plant pri marily in its source of héat. A conventional thermal generat ing plant burns fossil fuels— boal, oil or natural gas—to make heat which is then converted into steam which spins the tur bine generator to make electric ity, Trojan uses a controlled fis-: sion reaction of uranimum fuel to do the same thing. Release of neutrons starts Fission process. A tom s are mostly made of three principal particles—neutrons, protons and electrons. Protons and neutrons form the nucleus in the center of the atom. The electrons orbit around this central mass similar the way the earth and other plànbts circle the sun. Everything on earth is made up of atoms. Some atoms, in cluding certain types of uranium, break into fragments quite eas ily. They do this when a single free neutron is added to the atoms center. This additional neutron is the trigger that starts the fission process. Energy is released when the uranium is split into two Or more parts. These parts become new atoms, some neutrons, traveling at tre mendous speed, afe left over. These neutrons fly out to split other atoms, which give up more heat and more neutrons to con tinue the process. This is called chain reactio n . The atom ic reactor permits man to control this fission process and keep the atomic “fire” going. Trojan is located on Coffin. Island which covers 635 acres of land between the Columbia River and U.S. Highway 30. Eleva tion is 45 feet above sea level. The number of operating per sonnel is approximately 150 em ployees, energy output (electri cal) is 1,130,000 kilowatts (net). The cooling tower .is 499 feet high and the cooling [is closed cycle, natural draft arid the base of the tower is 385 feet. Prior to the construction of the Trojan plant, archeologists unearthed evidence that Indi ans used the area for, camping and fishing.,this is substantiated by writings of an English sea captaift that was exploring the Columbia River in 1792. The first hand inform ation was very interestihg to the delegates who made the tour. In-Lieu Sites Toured Oh May 24, the same members of the Tribal Council toured the In-Lieu site fishing areas along the Columbia River. The In- Lieu sites which were acquired by the Corps of Engineers for the use of Indian Tribes having “Reserved Fishing Rights” -iri the pool formed after, the. con struction of Bonneville Dam in 1937. In July of 1937, K.R.L. Simmons#®I A, made an inspec tion trip by boat on the Colum bia River between Celilo Falls and the site of Bonneville Dam. He was accompanied by a pho tographer and several Indian fishermen. The party identified and photographed numerous old accustomed fishing stations. In 1939, an agreement was reached between the Umatilla, Warm Springs and Yakima Tribes and Corps of Engineers on a pro gram for acquisition of sites to Man dies from shooting A W arm Springs man died at the Warm Springs police.

With the ednstruetion of the Bonneville Dam and resulting lake or pool inundated a large number of fishing locations that were used by Indians dhring each fishing season. The number of inun dated location has been esti- rhated at 37 sites. The Corps bf Engineers recpgnizedthe loss to the Indians and agreed that they would institute a program of acquiring Lieu sites in the Bon neville pool area for the use pf the, Indians. The agreem ent between the Tribes and the Corps of Engineers in 1939, as accep tably lieu site^ were six loca tions: Tenino, Herman Creek b oth in Oregon^ Big Eddy, Big W hite Salm on, Little White Salmon and Wind Rivers, in Washington. Tenino, this site was aban doned by mutual consent o f the Army Engineers and the Indian Tribes a n d in lieu thereof a site known as the Lone Pine was acquired and developed. The Engineers have built sanitary facilities, developed water and are completing the ac». „ss road. This site has been proposed to the C hief ¡o f E ngineers for, transfer to the Department of the Interior and is alreadybeing used to a limited extent b y the Indian people. This site is on the outskirts of the city of The Dalles and some voices are raised in protest because of the pro ximity. , » The Big Eddy site has been protested by the Washington Department of Fisheries because of its location near the spillway of The Dalles Dam. This site is considered as part of The Dalles Dam project and it is doubtful if it will ever be considered for a lieu site/ The Yakima Tribe,? however, insists that this site.
