I think the major changes are availability of target material. That supply chain we used in the seventies no longer exists, so we've identified a replacement supply chain through France. The biggest challenge we have at the university would be to hire the staff and train them and qualify them to operate the facilities. We do need to work with AECL to ensure that the target we're delivering is compatible with their facilities so they can accept it physically and process it with the right chemistry there. When we put the proposal together about a year and a half ago we were proposing 18 months in an environment where NRU is running and everything is smooth and the supply chain is robust. Since the recent outage, we've started turning our mind to how we can shorten that. The next step to bring focus to that effort would be to get the stakeholders together to see which are the critical path items and where the most work and effort need to be placed.
