The MAPLE reactors were really the best solution. Honestly, they really were. This solution was designed way back in the 1990s around the awareness that NRU had a limited lifespan. We believe very clearly that the completion of the MAPLE reactors is still the most viable solution. This is the best solution for long-term isotope supply.
We are very concerned about the reliability of supply for patients in Canada and in the world at large, since NRU today supplies over 50% of the world's isotopes. The MAPLE was designed to be a facility that replaced NRU and had a redundant capacity as well, because it was two reactors. As far as we're aware, there are no other long-terms plans from the other major isotope producers.
That is the reality of the situation.
