My understanding is that as early as 2000 it would have been known that the MAPLE reactors were experiencing difficulty in operating and being licensed, and the same thing was very clear in 2003. It was between 2003 and...it took until 2008 for AECL and the government to accept the decision of AECL to discontinue the MAPLEs.
When AECL took the decision to discontinue, it was made very clear that they would have to pursue the extension of the NRU licence in order to ensure that we would receive medical isotopes. That's what they did, and they entered into an MOU with the CNSC on that matter.
