The reality of the situation is that AECL is the operator of the NRU, and they have the best information regarding the NRU. This government relies on AECL to operate it in the best way it can. My role is to make sure that if there is an unplanned outage, we communicate with the medical community and ensure as well that all appropriate measures are being taken under the supervision of CNSC for the health and safety of Canadians.
As to my being in touch with AECL concerning the operating of the National Research Universal reactor, the answer is no. But I do rely, as we should, upon the professionals at AECL who operate that facility, in giving us the best information. And they did not give me the information that they had expected this shutdown. This is an unexpected, unplanned shutdown of the NRU.
