It was not the SAGE site for all the DEW line, it was the SAGE site for
the 22 NORAD region which included station on both the Pine Tree line
and the DEW line I seem to recall that Alert was also attached to that
region. Growing up there was a Pine Tree Line station very close to my
home town.

I believe the SAGE had oil cooled core. Oregon
state had old core
hooked to
the ancient nebula serial delay line / CAM machine.
The SAGE computers for the DEW
line radars were in 10,000 square foot
caverns 600 feet under the Canadian shield. In the 1980s they were
replaced by Hughes minicomputers the size of four-drawer file cabinets.
