Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I thank the witnesses for being here.
My first question is for Mr. Ramana.
About a year ago, you submitted a brief to the New Brunswick Minister of Natural Resources and Energy Development that dealt specifically with the development of small modular reactors. In this brief, which I invite you to table with the committee, you discuss in great detail the significant costs of this technology, not to mention the costs related to the management of radioactive waste produced by the projects. In particular, you talk about the sodium coolant of the coveted and controversial Moltex project, which involves a new category of liquid waste. This is all in your submission.
Can you explain the magnitude of the financial and environmental costs associated with managing radioactive waste, compared to wind, solar or hydroelectric power projects?
