This won't necessarily be a long process. We are already having discussions with the people from AECL.
We're talking to them right now about the various criteria we need to make an informed decision that the reactor will operate safely. You should know that when we look at all the material coming before us—we look at when the last update was of the various pumps, material, pipes, and the whole security.... In the nuclear business, you are continuously upgrading the equipment: you're replacing old equipment, you're changing and upgrading.
AECL will have to come in front of us and argue the case, whether it will be for a one-, two-, a three-year extension. Our expert staff will assess this. We will seek opinions from other experts. We are now in the process of telling AECL, so that there will be no misunderstanding, what we need to make those decisions.
Those decisions will occur two years from now, so we're giving them ample warning and transparency as to the kinds of criteria we'll be using to assess their submission. We are going to focus on only one thing, and that is whether it is safe.
