I have spoken to the official who attended the meeting. We have talked to others who were at the meeting as well. There is a sense that there was no reference to any emergency. In fact, on November 22, there was indeed the possibility that the reactor would come on before the end of the month, and that was I think what everyone at that meeting considered to be important. The reason MDS Nordion raised this issue was to ensure that AECL was working flat out to try to get the reactor back on line, which of course they had been doing, but at that time they felt that the one-pump option would prevail.
On February 12th, 2008. See this statement in context.
