Thank you for that question. Maybe I'll start and then I'll ask my colleague to share her thoughts on this.
Let's maybe put it into context. Radiation and nuclear substances are regulated. They are hazardous substances. They are regulated for that reason. We don't prohibit them, because we recognize there are benefits from them. That's the difference between regulation and prohibition.
In the regulation of nuclear substances or nuclear activities, we have a very robust regulatory framework. As I mentioned, not only do we look at impacts or effects to fresh water or to the environment, but we look at an all hazards analysis. I know this committee is interested also in climate change analysis and all the rest of it, so maybe we can get into that as well.
Coming to your question about the pollution going into the Ottawa River from the near surface disposal facility, any project and all projects need to demonstrate that any risk to exposure is mitigated. There are mitigation measures that start at the environmental assessment stage. It is looked at to determine what programs are needed and what monitoring is needed. If there is a spill, how do we prevent the spill and how do we clean up the spill, to eliminate, mitigate as much as possible, the risks to the environment and to peoples.
Perhaps I'll stop there and see if my colleague would like to add anything more.
