Well, you lose your isotope supply immediately and then you become beholden to whoever is going to sell it to you. We lose 50 years of leadership in nuclear power. We were the first to build power reactors outside the U.S. We did all the fundamental work on power reactors for the Americans.
We lose our leadership role in neutron beam research, the triple-axis spectrometer that was recognized by Bertram Brockhouse's Nobel prize, the engineering stress scanner that was used as part of the accident investigation of the Challenger accident. All of that disappears, and there's no prospect of further innovation. We're unable to support our own industries.
We have an example from Saskatchewan, a company manufacturing rolled steel. It may be a boring product, but they developed a new way of making bigger sheets. It wasn't by a recognized method, so they couldn't get it qualified for use in bridges. We were able to demonstrate by doing the neutron measurements on these things that they were equivalent to the existing products and get the standard rewritten. So now they can use it in the 30,000 to 40,000 new bridges and refurbishment projects throughout Ontario. There's a big market. It's a small contribution, but it's a big market that we open up every time we do one of these experiments.
You lose people; you lose the expertise. It'll all go.
