I don't have the exact information on that, but it's 600-odd metres below the surface. It is, I believe, a couple of kilometres from the lake.

We've undertaken a review, and we've provided our information to the Canadian nuclear safety agency. From our perspective, we don't see that there will be any direct impact to fisheries or fisheries habitat as a result of that project. We're there as a technical support to the Canadian nuclear safety agency, but we're not directly a responsible authority.
