We've heard from various members of this committee concerns over contingency plans with the NRU. What has been the operational performance of the NRU reactor over the last few years? Are you confident of its operating safely?
I'd also like to understand AECL's commitment to cooperating with the stakeholders throughout Canada, including the National Research Council, in making plans for the future. The Canadian Institute for Neutron Scattering represents the academic community across Canada that needs access to neutron beams for research and education.
What is the direction and thinking of AECL to supersede the three missions of the NRU reactor for the next 50 years—the three missions being materials research with neutron beams, support for Canada's nuclear power technology, and Canada's world-leading business in isotope production for nuclear medicine?
